Valentines Day

Valentines Day is one of my favorite holidays. How could you not like a day of love?! Especially when you're married to a sweetheart, like Chad!

I surprised Chad with breakfast in bed. I made heart-shaped eggs in a basket, toast, peaches and orange juice. It was delicious, if I don't say so myself :)

Going out to eat on Valentines day is always a joke. Valentines on a Friday night is even a bigger joke.  Instead of going out, we decided to spend our night at home.

I came home from work to find a bouquet of fresh lilly's on the table and Chad in the backyard grilling rib eyes. He's definitely a keeper :)

Dinner was amazing...rib eye, asparagus, carrots and baked potatoes. Way better than anything La Jolla Groves could serve ;)

We wanted to watch a movie neither of us had seen, so we ran to Walmart and picked up "PS I love You"... most depressing movie ever, but nothing 2 boxes of See's chocolates and cuddling can't fix :)

I decided that we are both going to live until we are 100 and we are going to die together, like in "The Notebook".

I love Chad more than words could describe on a blog. He has made me the happiest girl in the world. There is no one I would rather spend my Valentines with, and I'm so grateful that he's mine for eternity. 

i like to ride my bicycle

Chad and I have been wanting bikes since last summer, but we never got around to buying them. Ever since the city finished the Murdock Canal Road trail, that's right down the street from our house, it made us even more antsy. The trail goes down to Provo canyon and up north to Alpine (it might go further, but I'm not quite sure). It's nice because it's an easy ride and it's so beautiful.

We have been researching to find good, cheap bikes. Surprisingly, we found great ones at Walmart. I got a cute, Schwinn, black, beach cruiser and Chad got a sweet GMC road bike. As soon as we got home form the store, we headed down to the trail to test them out.

We had a blast until we decided to turn around and come home. My tire started bulging, which causes it to rub against the brakes. So eventually, I wasn't able to petal anymore because it was like I was constantly holding my brakes. We called Chad's dad to come pick us up. Chad, being the sweet husband that he is, carried my bike from Lindon to 2000 N in Orem, until we were able to get to the street. I was really bummed, especially since we had just barely bought it!

{At least there was a gorgeous sunset to cheer our spirits up}

{"Take a picture of this creepy stalker face" - Chad} >>>> he always knows how to make me laugh #besthusbandever

We took it back to Walmart and the "bike guy" was gone for the day so we left my bike there for him to fix it the next day. We went back today and picked it up. So far, so good. Lets just hope we don't have anymore problems!

I am so excited for our bikes, it's such great exercise and it's so fun to be outside in the beautiful weather together!
