February 14, 2014...
Anthony had asked me to come to Auburn that weekend and we were going to go to the gymnastics meet. All week I had planned on going because I didn't have a boyfriend so I obviously didn't really have any other plans for Valentine's day. Why not just spend the day with a friend? What could it hurt?
At the last minute, I pretty much ditched (story of our lives back then) him and told him I wasn't going to come and went home instead. (Thankfully he didn't hold to much of a grudge against me and hung in there)
Fast forward to this past weekend, February 14, 2015. Last week we had both planned on meeting in Opp for Valentine's day because on Saturday night we had a wedding shower for Jess and Cody to go to. We had decided that we would just go eat somewhere on Friday night for our Valentines "date". I decided since I ditched him last year that I probably owed him one so when I got out of class on Thursday afternoon, I headed to Auburn.
When I got there he was at the school meeting with a group for one of his classes so I parked my car a little down the street from his house and when he called me and told me he was on his way home I hid behind the house. I may not have told the whole truth during that conversation but I didn't want him to know I was there... I had kept a secret from him for like five whole days and couldn't ruin it at the last second.
So I'm standing behind his house and I hear his truck pulling up.. I start like sneaking toward him while he is turned around at his truck getting his stuff out and right when I thought he was about to turn around I started running full speed toward him... Wish I would have had a camera and captured his facial expression. He was so excited and kept saying "this doesn't even feel real right now". (Oh, and I'm pretty thankful that he didn't turn around and punch me in the face when he heard someone running toward him)
We went and ate mexican Thursday night and then he had class on Friday so I worked on some school stuff while he was at school. Friday night we got ready and went to Longhorn for supper. When we were leaving it was only like 6:45 and he asked me what I wanted to do. Of course, I'm indecisive and said it didn't matter so he said we would just go downtown for a little while and he headed in that direction.
We pull up at the arena and I was a little confused and asked what we were doing. He said there was a basketball game and he just figured since there was nothing else to do that we would go. In my mind I'm thinking "Neither of us are basketball fans so this is pretty weird" but I didn't want to be a brat so I just smiled and said "okay". When we got inside I had pretty much figured it out because I was thinking is this guy really taking me to a basketball game for Valentine's day when neither of us are basketball fans!?
We spent the rest of the night watching the AU vs. LSU gym meet :)
I know it doesn't seem like much but it really meant a lot to me... such a sweet boy! :)
Saturday morning we had breakfast at Bazilla's and then walked to the corner where they were planting the new trees. But really, what better way to spend our first Valentine's day than with the Auburn family?? (insert smiley sticking out tongue) WAR EAGLE!
We had a good morning and then drove home for the shower Saturday night.
Nothing much needs to be said about the shower except that Hillary only had to stick the food in the oven and warm it up and during the process we had flames. I will admit that I started screaming and was thinking in my head about the things that I needed to grab out of the house if it all went up in flames (ie. wedding album)
I had a really great weekend and just wanted to document it on my blog so that I never forget it! :)
These past few weeks at school have been crazy busy and challenging but this afternoon starts my spring break!! It's going to be cold and I don't have anything fun planned but I am looking forward to being lazy for an entire week!!
Hope everyone is having a great week!!

Side Note: Many of my classmates are feeling defeated because of grades and other things pertaining to school right now. If you would, please take a minute to lift us up in prayer. I would really appreciate it! There are lots of awesome people in my class and some who you would be blessed to have as your OT someday!
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
