A Belated Valentine Post

So last week was V-day.





It seems many people are either super anti-Valentine's day or super pro-Valentine's day. I like it but I am not a crazy person about it. I mean... I am OK with celebrating V-day on the Saturday before or after or whatever. But that is just me.





On V-day I was at work. I noticed roses were delivered to one of my co-workers. Then another co-worker got balloons. Hmmmm.....





I have never had flowers delivered to my work. I think it's kind of odd. Sort of like showing off or something. I mean... I am OK with getting flowers at work or after work or whatever. But that is just me.





Then I got a phone call from the receptionist.





There was something for me at the front desk.





I found a beautiful orchid and a box from my "secret admirer". Inside the box was a puzzle. The puzzle was a picture of me and my cute little Eliza.





I took my flowers to my office.





After work Kase bought me Taco Bell and chocolate covered strawberries.





I think getting flowers at work is nice. I don't mind showing off at work... or on my blog... or whatever. But that is just me.

I love my Valentine.

Flying High

Kase loves his internship with ORNL. It has been such a blessing to us. Last week he got to ride in a helicopter and shoot video out the side. He is the tiny person in the front of the helicopter hanging out the door with a video camera.

Awesome for him. He loved it. (Glad I don't have to do anything like that!)

I am very proud of him. I love him.

In other news, I have lots to write about. I am just too lazy and tired. Eventually I will blog about all the lovely baby showers I have been given lately. And I will blog about the nursery, which is looking pretty good I must say. It is almost ready for when our little love decides to join us.

A Fresh Start

Last week was rough. It was dark and gloomy in our house. There was an icky stomach virus that invited its way in. Kase was sicker than I had ever seen him. Then the week was topped off with me welcoming a new phase of pregnancy: swollen feet and ankles. I didn't feel like moving or walking anywhere. Fun.


But then the weekend came. I was able to sleep in and rest, Kase felt better, we enjoyed a lovely date night with Kase's parents, and the weather was beautiful. Sunday morning, I woke up to a surprise. Kase had hidden my favorite easter treat (the big Reese's Easter Eggs) around the house and I had to hunt them. He is the sweetest. Best of all, it was also General Conference weekend. My favorite is always the Saturday sessions. It seems that the things I need to hear the most are always that day. Saturday was full of talks about the importance of the role of women, families, and the teaching of our children. Sunday many talks were about the ressurection and atonement. Pondering the selfless love and sacrifice of our Savior touched my heart and warmed my soul.


This morning I awoke refreshed and renewed. I am ready for a new week. A fresh start. A new beginning.


I love Easter and Spring.

Hubbie Funnies

We have been keeping my parents dog, Isabella, while they are in Florida. Yesterday, Isabella was laying on the floor between Kase and I.

Me: What is that noise? (There was a weird, quiet noise that sounded like a soft rumble.)

Kase: It's the dog.

Me: What? Are you sure? That doesn't sound right. Are you sure it's not your ipod?

(rumble noise again)

Kase: No I am sure. My ipod is on silent. I think the dog is wheezing.

At this point I am starting to get worried. It's just not a natural noise that should be coming from a dog.

Then we heard the rumble noise again. It WAS the ipod! Guess it wasn't on silent after all. It made me laugh that he thought that weird noise was the dog.

Ok maybe you had to be there.

Surprise Surprise

"I have the best surprise for you" my husband said this past Saturday. Of course, I don’t really like surprises. I like to KNOW what is going on. But for two days, he kept it a secret. All of my investigative work did not payoff.

Finally, the day of the surprise came. After work, I raced home and found my husband waiting at home. I think he was just as excited as I was. We got in the car and drove. "Close your eyes and NO peeking" he said as we began to drive out of the neighborhood. So I shut my eyes tight as we made too many turns for me to figure out where we were going.

Suddenly, the car stopped. Feeling a little carsick and with my eyes still closed, I followed Kase into a building that smelled....... like popcorn. "Are we at the movies? Are you sure this surprise is for me?" Then I heard his parents and brothers. "WHAT is going on?" I thought.

Tickets were picked up, popcorn and candy was bought, all while my eyes were STILL closed! I was finally allowed to open my eyes as we found seats in the theater. I waited for the mystery movie to begin. Was it Star Trek (again)? Was it some movie that I had never heard of? What WAS it?

The lights dimmed, but there were no previews. Odd. Then.... a familiar sound of clocks began ticking...... What was it? Why it was none other than my VERY FAVORITE MOVIE EVER:

BACK TO THE FUTURE

(Part I of course.)

The theater was playing it as part of a "Blast from the Past" summer movie event. I got to see my favorite movie on the big screen in the theater! Great Scott!!!! All because my husband rocks.

We had a great time. My husband is so sweet to work so hard to surprise me. Kase, you are my density.... I mean destiny.

Watching the movie in the theater was like going back in time to 1985. In fact, when I think about it, I am pretty sure that my parents were about my age when they saw Back to the Future for the first time in the theater. So it was like I went back in time to 1985 and saw the movie just like my parents did. Oh man.... this is heavy.

Move Along

Kase, my wonderful amazing superstar husband, had to do a project for school that involved editing some sort of homemade video. So, he rounded up two of his brothers plus a friend from church and his kid to make a masterpeice. My favorite part is the boys crazy outfits.
