Valentines Day

OK. I know I it's a few days after the fact but I had to post and say that I seriously had a FABULOUS Valentines Day. I had an absolute blast and it made it even so much more fun to get to spend a good part of the night with hilarious friends and such a fun, thoughtful and loving husband! Oh and not too mention the kindness of others that allowed Dusty and I to enjoy an AMAZING meal for free....yeah gotta love that. It was seriously the best Valentines Day ever.....next to getting engaged of course!

Happy Valentines Day

As I sit in my quiet house before my workout I was thinking about today and how there is bound to be tons of people waiting to be seated at restaurants and flowers being bought and chocolates being eaten :-), I think of how grateful I am for my husband.

I love that each Valentines Day Dusty really is himself. I love that he doesn't go out of character just to do something that he thinks he should because other people are doing it on this one day out of the year. Every single day Dusty tries to show me that he loves me by supporting me in my dreams and goals. He tells me that he loves me by his touch or his smile. I love that he knows my "love language" and tries to show me in his best way how very much he loves me. If he has the notion to get something for me he does. If he has the notion to create "Amy Land" when get home from work, he does. If he has the notion to do the dishes or straighten the house for me, he does.

I don't expect a romantic evening or full day of activities planned. I don't expect flowers or chocolates, although he KNOWS that dark chocolate is always welcome. I love that I know whatever we do together, no matter what day of the year it is will be fun, full of love, adventurous and full of laughs, smiles and "I love you's." Dusty would buy me the world if he could. He would take me out absolutely anywhere I wanted to go. The life we are building together is a testament to that.

Every day Dusty "slays dragons" for me at school, at home, in life trying to building his dreams and support our family....what more could I ask for? I couldn't and I wouldn't. I love Dusty so much and to me Valentines Day is just one day out of the year to reflect on that love for him and celebrate in our own way what it means to be married to your best friend. Six years ago today he proposed to me. I remember the rush of feelings and deep sense of love and respect I had for him then and couldn't have imagined how much I would love him now.

There is so much about Dusty that I love. He has a great contribution to make to this world and he makes it one day at a time. I love that Dusty has such great aspirations and uses every moment to gain and correctly apply that knowledge consistently in order to become a better person for himself, me, his children to come, his field of study, the world and animals which he serves.

He serves me everyday. He loves me everyday. I am so lucky to be his bride. I am so lucky to celebrate this day with him, the love of my life. My Valentine.

Valentines Day!


OK. It's been a while since I have blogged but judging by the looks of all the NON-comments, nobody cares or maybe even didn't even noticed!

Now that I have that out of my system :-) I wanted to tell you all about the lovely Valentines Day Dusty planned for us.

First off, he had it planned since NOVEMBER. Yes. I know this for a fact because I accidentally found the tickets like a week after he got them. I swear I am always ruining surprises. Dusty took me to a Jim Brickman concert at Kingsbury Hall in Salt Lake. It was PERFECT! It was the most romantic day that we have ever had besides our wedding. Even though I had been S-I-C-K all week long, I was in good spirits and so excited for the evening.

We went to Macaroni Grill and then the concert. Jim also brought vocalist Anne Cochran and violinist David Klinkenberg. It was an amazing blend of sound that just took you right into the moment and everything else was forgotten. If you are not familiar with Jim Brickman, he is the most romantic pianist I have ever heard. Everything he does revolves around romance and love and just plain old feel good stuff.

All I can say is that the night was perfect and Dusty and I had an amazing time and I wanted to thank him for being so thoughtful. It was a beautiful night. What a great way to commemorate the night he asked me to marry him!
