Everything started with a suprise bouquent of flowers that thursday while I was at school. I am the kind of girl who loves flowers, but loves them more when I don't get them often. It is more special that way. I was VERY suprised. When the flower delivery guy walked in the door, we were taking a test. I looked up, and straight back down thinking there was no way they were for me. When he called out my name, the thought crossed my mind "Who are THESE from?!" Boy was I beaming when I read the note he had attached to them. It made me SOOO happy. I even got a 100% on my test!
Saturday came along and I had to work in the morning. As soon as I got home he told me to go get ready. I followed his direction and we left shortly therafter. He drove towards the mountains and the whole time I really didn't know where we were going. Then he pulled into the valet parking at the Broadmoor. For anyone not familiar with this hotel, it is a 5 star hotel nestled right in the foothills of Pikes Peak. Last year they held the Senior Open at it's golf course. Anyway, while we waited in line, Tyler seemed to be getting nervous. He hesitantly said," I'm sorry, but you have to get out." I was like... um... okay? He then said, "Just go to the spa and tell them you have an appointment." The spa?! I was SOOO excited. You see, all week Tyler had made it known he had planned something for me. Little did he know that as I contemplated what he could have planned, I kept thinking to myself, "I could really use a massage with all the stress from school, work, etc. I've had lately." Big points for him!
After my luxurious stay at the spa (which not only included a 70 min hot stone massage but also full use of their sauna, steam room, aroma therapy room, and other relaxing amenities) I went out to find Tyler. He then drove me to a different hotel in town where we had a delicious dinner and watched a compilation of songs from Broadway musicals about falling in love. One major note here! This dinner and show had daycare provided. You have to understand that Tyler and I have not been out alone since Sawyer was born. We go out quite often to dinner and what not, but Sawyer comes right along with us. I had always been nervous for this moment. I get this guilty feeling about making someone else watch Sawyer when I could be. Of course, Tyler worked this out perfectly as well. The daycare provided was just down the hall which made it much easier. I knew if I needed to, I could go check on him whenever I wanted to. I never did, but it made our first date without him much less worrisome.
Needless to say, Tyler did a great job with Valentines Day. Being the poor students we are this was quite the splurge for us, but I justified it by the fact we haven't bought each other anything for the past Christmas, anniversary, or birthdays. I don't by any means expect it to always be this great, but it is definately one I will always remember. I love my husand, not just because of the nice things he did for me, but for who he is and for ALL he does for me. I'm one lucky girl!
