Jake proposed to me February 1st, 2006, therefore we have celebrated Valentines on that day ever since. However, since the first was on a Sunday we celebrated on Monday...so yes, I'm way behind, once again, on my blog. Anways, I told Jake that it was his turn to plan the evening and that I wanted it to be a complete surprise and very romantic...And if any of you know my Jakie he is what we call romantically challenged, but I was crossing my fingers this year.
As a side note, on our very first Valentines's together, which was our senior year, he asked what I wanted and the only thing I said was that I really wanted red roses. To my surprise I received a hideous bouquet of tiny, tiny, and did I say TINY red carnations...yes, that's right carnations! The ugliest of all flowers and in Jake's defense the cheapest of them all...$3.99 to be exact. I just pretended to be happy and pleased, but little did he know I was so upset. Later Jake learned that just because a flower is red doesn't mean that they are considered a rose...LOL! It was definitely a learning experience, but it did have a happy ending...my beautiful carnations last at least 2months...the dang things lived FOREVER!
I wanted to share that story, so we could all see Jake's progression. He planned a really fun night with dinner at the Mayan, rock climbing(which was a total blast!), ice cream, and a total action packed movie, "TAken." In Jake's eyes this was the most romantic evening EVER! As you can see Jake takes romance to a totally different level! A level in which I couldn't love more! We had such a fun evening and that's what I love about Jake most...We ALWAYS have fun together.
P.S. Rock climbing was a total blast even though I had no idea we were going and I was definitely not dressed for.
P.P.S. The movie "Taken" was awesome! Both Jake and I loved it! It's way intense and definitely not romantic, but that's my Jakie...Who I love so much!!!

What a fun Valentine's date. Jo told me he was only going to get me a card, so that is a lot better than what I am going to get. We sure have to help these guys with these kind of things.
hahahaha that is hilarious about the carnations! I love it! That'll be a fun story to tell the kids someday. Good job on a fun night Jake! This year Spencer has a basketball game so the most romance I'm getting is sitting around a bunch of smoking people in a hot arena! wooooo!
