Valentine's

The famous day for all lovers, or dreaded for those without. This year for Brett and I we celebrated early due to our strange schedules not mixing so well. So on February 12th we had our valentines day. Brett gave me a beautiful necklace with earring to match and then we also went out to eat.... well sort of.

See I had to work that afternoon so when I got off work we went out, however it seems that a whole bunch of people decided to celebrate early as well or something because everywhere was full and busy with large waiting times. The BYU basketball game that had just ended didn't help much either. So we just got some pizza and went home where we then watched a movie while eating together. All in all it was a wonderful day.

As for the actual Valentines day I decided I wanted to surprise Brett, so sunday night I cut out a bunch of paper hearts, which I then proceeded to tape all around our bedroom and in some of the rest of the house.

I also made cookies. I was experimenting a bit and tried to cook some with kisses, as it turns out they don't bake in the oven so good. Its better to put them in right after the cookies come out of the oven instead, just a tip. Anyway I sort of gave up on the chocolate and used jam instead, which I think tasted better anyway, but I'm sure some would disagree.

Lastly I used kisses and wrote a note on the table for Brett when he came home the next morning. When he came home apparently they glowed in the dark which was a little strange for him, but he liked the surprise so it all worked out. :)

Night Out

Yesterday Brett and I attended what is known as the Y-Ball. Basically it was a dance for the married and engaged couples at BYU. It was held in the Hinkley Center and turned out wonderfully. We danced, had some cake, laughed, and even got to ride around the provo temple in a limo! At the end Brett gave me two roses out of some that were provided and then we left for home. It was a nice night out and will hopefully be repeated again sometime. :)

Newly Improved!

So a few new things have happened in the last month.

First being that I cut my hair. Its a bit short and wild but i like it, mostly.

Brett and I just about a week ago, decided it was time that we finally put up actual curtains in our apartment as opposed to hanging towels on the rods. So one night we laid out the fabric, measured the windows and cut to the desired length. I worked on the casings and the hems, while Brett cut them the the desired size. They turned out beautifully, although we both agree that it officially looks like we live in an old grandma's apartment now, even more than before that is.

We also bought ourselves a dresser, finally! It is also beautiful and should last for quite some time. One thing we hadn't taken into account when buying it was how much moving around of stuff we would have to do. The guys delivered the dresser around 11am one day and we took at least until 2pm or so to decide how to rearrange all of our furniture, and clean our apartment. We are however much happier with it and surprisingly have more space. Its nice.

We also of course continue to have fun. While visiting family Brett was tickling me at one point and i was trying to get away, the end result: I got stuck in a fairly strange position where i couldn't move, except my arms.
