Amanda Gloria: swooning.

Our first valentines day was definitely one for the books. I woke up super early to surprise Todd & make him a Valentines breakfast. He was confused when he woke up thinking there was a robber in the house making noise downstairs. (I probably should've thought that part through, but it was worth it. HA!)

I also snuck into his car and left him a surprise lunch. (his favorite kraft mac-n-cheese, i know, he eats like a 5 year old) It was complete with a card explaining what I had planned for the night!

I then went to my bible study as I do every friday morning. Little did I know he had a surprise waiting for me there! Balloons, roses, and the sweetest card were there waiting for me when I walked in the door!

It was the sweetest!

So as I am sitting there with the girls talking before bible study Todd calls me and has me go on a little scavenger hunt to find my present that was hidden in the china cabinet!

(please ignore the fact that I look like quasimodo in this pic. It was early & i was crying.)

In there was the perfect pair of rose gold diamond earrings waiting for me! As if my flowers & balloons weren't enough! This man never ceases to amaze me with his wonderful gifts given to me in the most thoughtful ways.

I am so blessed by this man!!

So after bible study I rushed to Todds house to prepare for my little surprise!

I most definitely did not want to go out that night. As if trying to go to dinner or a movie isn't already a daunting task on a friday night without it being V-day! So I planned a romantic dinner for him when he came home. Even though we couldn't be at a restaurant I wanted it to still feel like we were, so I had the table set up fancy.

I made his favorite fettucine alfredo & breadsticks from scratch with a side caesar salad. Of course my bread had to be in the shape of a heart as well, i mean it is valentines day.

For dessert I made homemade smore sundaes & chocolate covered strawberries in the shape of a, you guessed it!, heart. ha!
