Love is in the air!!!!!

Zeb is going to kill me for posting this picture, but I couldn't help myself! I managed to convince Zeb to do a mask with me by using my mad negotiating skills! He didn't like it very much, he said it was cold and it dried all crusty on his face :) But hey, it got us ready for our Valentine's date!

We had such a fun Valentines Day. For one, I didn't have to work which was awesome. We spent the morning at the Temple doing baptisms for the dead with Don and Faye, Mike, Tanner and Rachel. It had seriously been years since I'd done baptisms and I really enjoyed it, not to mention it was a great way to start out our day!

Our afternoon was a nap, followed by dinner that night. We gave each other a joint gift this year- dance lessons. It's something we've always wanted to do together and we didn't have time to do it before we got married, so why not now? It will definitely help to improve all of dancing we do in the kitchen, and hopefully help so we can rock it on the dance floor in public too! I can't wait!

There's a few different myths about the history of Valentine's day- but I think my favorite is the one about St. Valentine being imprisoned and falling in love with the jail keepers' daughter and sending her love letters ending with "love, your Valentine". I tell you this because that is one of my favorite things Zeb did for me this Valentines, he wrote me a letter. I'm still amazed at how sometimes the small things, like little love notes, make the biggest difference! His letters are something I'll save forever! When the holidays have passed and the chocolates are good and gone, it's nice to have things that will last beyond that- things we can read and re read and dances we can dance again and again. Thanks for a great Valentine's Day honey! I love you!
I love you Zeb!!!!!!!!
