Valentines Day in the Jeep!

I am most definitely one of those people who ADORE Valentine's Day! I mean I get so excited the night before that I most likely break into song and dance around the house just about Valentines. Even as a kid I would love waking up to see that my mom and dad had cards and treats waiting for us! But my beautiful Fiancé is quite the opposite, he thinks Valentines is just another day. Well he is wrong! It is a day to make sure everyone you love knows it! That is how I feel about it at least. Even though Valentines isn't his favorite he knows how important it is for me, so he makes sure I feel extra special.


If you have talked to me recently, or read my Facebook anytime within the last year you probably are aware of the fact that I am getting married in May (89 days!!!) and with all the joys of wedding planning, comes the budget (yuck). But my fiancé and I have decided we would rather go out less and save so we can invest more into our beautiful home and give ourselves some cushion, and we have been going out a lot lately that this Valentines we wanted nothing more than to be together to do nothing.


The week before this day of love came around we had 4 family parties to attend (all for different reasons but with the same group of family lol) and we had not been able to spend any quality time together which is HUGELY important to both of us and we were just feeling burned-out and we wanted to be alone, Tommy was determined to make that happen.....


So, Valentines Day morning I woke up to instructions that I was to be at his house at 7:00pm sharp and I was to wear something casual. I semi-freaked out and thought we might be going to a sports bar and just 'hanging out' with each other because that is my fiancés favorite thing to do and my least favorite thing but I decided I would be selfless and let him have it. Then he told me we weren't going out so I needed to be comfortable. I freaked out even more because I thought we might be spending Valentines with the in-laws (love them to pieces but not my ideal way to spend a romantic evening with my Beloved).


7 o'clock rolls around and I am at Tommy's house, not a minute late. I called to let him know I was walking up (as instructed) and he came flying out of the house instantly (he didn't want us to sucked into the wedding vortex, so thoughtful!) and he walked me to the Jeep and opened my door for me. I again freaked out because I thought we weren't going anywhere and I was in my skinny jeans and a sweater (not fancy enough to going out in!) but then I get into the Jeep and I see this....

There are pink streamers everywhere with balloons filling the backseat including candy and a card :)




And by this point I am slightly confused as he pulls away from the house....he then drives to a park in Bedford and tells me that we aren't leaving the Jeep for the evening. He proceeds to pull a Chipotle bag (our favorite) out from behind the seat and hands me my most favorite burrito in the whole world. OOohh I forgot to mention that he has candles already lit in the Jeep so it's a "candlelight dinner". Tommy then asks if I'm thirsty and after I said yes he pulled out 2 little bottles of red wine (so stinkin cute!!!)

After we had finished our awesome dinner I asked if we could do cards and he said we had to wait...grrr! He then handed me one of the balloons and told me I had to pop each one to find a love note written in them..........THIS WAS THE BEST THING EVER!!!


It became a game for me, I would stab the balloon with a pen to pop it and scramble to find the note.


My favorite one said.....
"I love you because you're always excited to see me"


Then it was time for candy and the cards to be opened (and the candy to be eaten) and he gave me the new Twilight movie!! (yes, we love Twilight)

The night went on and we stared at the stars through the sun-roof and just enjoyed each others company.


This was truly one of the most romantic Valentines Day that we have ever had together and it all happened in the Jeep!


Thank you love of my life for making that night so much fun!
