Love that Valentine

Of course this is late posting about Valentine's day, but I still wanted to share it. On the day before V-day(Friday the 13th) it snowed like crazy here and I was able to leave work 2 whole hours early! Which was fabulous! Chad and I went home and took a nice long nap. Then I surprised him with a heart-shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's (his fav). He Loved it! Then we hurried and got all spiffed up to go to our stake Valentine's dance. I thought we looked pretty great...too bad we didn't actually get a full length picture of ourselves! We walked into the dance and I have to admit that I just started laughing. There were just a handful of couples there and most of them were on the older side. For a minute I wondered what I had gotten myself into. But then Chad and I decided to just have fun and enjoy ourselves. I laughed so hard because both of us seem to have two left feet. We might have been some of the worst dancers there, but I am sure we had the most fun by far! Saturday morning Chad made me some yummy waffles for breakfast and we spent most of the day being lazy while he prepared his special Cafe Rio meal. I love Cafe Rio! It is by far my favorite restaraunt and since we don't have it here I go through Cafe Rio withdrawls. It was amazing and tasted just like it! Thanks to Chadley for making me such a wonderful meal! Then we were off to another dance. Yes it was another Valentine's church dance! Although this time we were chaparones at the youth stake dance. This dance was even more hilarious! The first time we slow danced Chad thought that we should dance with more space between us to set a good example. As I looked around the room it looked like every little couple dancing had about a full set of encyclodpedias between them. While we were there we learned a few new line dances and even started a few ourselves.-Afterall, we were practically experts after two valentine's dances in a row!

The beautiful flowers in our ghetto "vase" that Chad surprised me with. Some day we will have a real vase, but until then this will just have to do.
You can't tell from the picture, but this is no ordinary pizza. It's heart shaped!

Chad and I before the dance all dressed up. Doesn't he look handsome!

Chad needs to share his cafe rio secrets if it tasted just like it!! by the way, tell him he looked very cute in his apron. To you, miss wee...one day you really will have a large assortment of vases, they will all have come free with the many flowers you'll recieve in the future. by the way cute table :)
