my world. my word.

valentine’s day was AMAAAAAZZIIINNG!!!  i could not be happier.  the day was just perfect. this is how we spent our valentine’s day:

we woke up, ate leftovers, then went our separate ways to do last minute planning/shopping for the day.  after about an hour or so, we met back at home and ate subway.  afterwards, i was instructed by jake to wear something comfortable, and put some shoes on.  i had no idea what he had planned for the day.

i was thinking all week that (since we are on a tight budget) he would take me to a park and we’d have a nice, romantic picnic.  i had already gotten an early gift for valentine’s day just a few days ago — my makeup brushes — which i am soo excited about!!

anyway, after getting dressed, we sat back on the couch and jake handed me my card.  i opened it up and read it.  on the very bottom there was a post it note peeking out that said “read me.”  with little hidden messages and a storyline, it became a scavenger hunt that lead me to next clue and the next clue.  i was enjoying this so much because for years i have always wanted someone to do a scavenger hunt for me.  jake somehow read my mind.  =)  the last clue led me to the garage.  he told me to close my eyes.  i was thinking the garage would be filled with a few balloons, put to my surprise there were two beach cruisers!!  i was so shocked and so surprised!! i did not see this one coming and this was another thing i had been wanting for years!!

my bike was perfect!! i love the color, i love the finish, i love my basket – walnut and/or bella can ride with me now! =) jake’s bike is soo nice, too.  very sleek and manly.  after the whole commotion and excitement, we went back upstairs to change for the beach, then set up the bike rack.

we ended up going to huntington beach just because they it was a longer line of beaches.  again, the day could not be any more perfect.  we rode from beach all the way you golden west, and back….and some….!  i couldnt get off the bike, i was so happy.  we watched the sunset, there were tons of people, we took pictures, we cuddled, we kissed.  the day was amazing.  and to top it off, on our way home we got pat & oscar’s breadsticks! yumm!

the next day – 02.15.10

since i didnt have work til the evening i had a few hours to set up a surprise “thank you” scavenger hunt for jake when he got home from work.  i had a note on the front door that instructed him to go clue to clue.  i had him videotape himself so i can see his reactions since i would be at work during the scavenger hunt.  pretty much, it led to a card thanking him for the beautiful day we had yesterday and how much i appreciated him.  thanks so much, bubba!!

i hope everyone had a great valentine’s day.  how did you spend it? =)
