Valentine's Day 2013

Last year on Valentine's Day Bryce cooked a special dinner for me so this year instead of going out and fighting all the crowds I said it would be my turn to cook a special dinner for him.  We had marinated steak, baked sweet potatoes, and green beans sauteed with olive oil and garlic. 
We agreed on exchanging cards and gifts with a $15 limit.  Bryce learned when we started dating that I am one of the few girls who would rather not get flowers.  I think they're very pretty and a sweet gesture but I would rather get something that doesn't die in a matter of days.  While Bryce was picking up my gift he saw some fake daffodils and thought he would still surprise me with flowers "that wouldn't die".  I laughed when he gave them to me.  That boy is so thoughtful.

I gave Bryce the fox card and he gave me the heart one.

 

I had a hard time thinking of a fun surprise for Bryce that only cost $15.  After a few days of brainstorming I finally came up with the idea of getting him a desk sized anatomy model.  He loves learning about the body and constantly is telling me things about it that he's learned so I hoped it would be a fun surprise for him.  He loved it.  He was so excited he put the whole thing together as soon as we finished eating dinner.  

Bryce gave me a new book, The Guardian.  He knows me so well.  Reading is my most favorite hobby.  I couldn't have picked a better gift out myself.  After dinner and exchanging gifts we ended the night with a movie, popcorn, and cuddling.  It was such a fun little holiday and a welcome excuse to celebrate Love.
