V-day

I'm just now getting around to blogging about our Valentine's Day.

(For memories sake…)

Dad tweeted this picture that morning.

Him and I at our annual Daddy-Daughter Banquet at FBCH.

Strasburg dress, white rose corsage, and all.

Growing up, every Valentines Day, Dad would take me on a date and Reece would take Mom on a date. All planned out. (and then Mom and Dad would have their own date another night)

Dad and I spent many of our dates painting pottery at All Fired Up in Nash because it was a fav of mine. We still eat from the popcorn bowl and salsa bowl that we created together. And then of course, we'd go to the Daddy-Daughter Banquet as long as I was "eligible".

I specifically remember one of Reece's dates with Mom. Reece wanted to take Mom to "sit down and eat pizza". His exact words, haha. So rather than getting delivery pizza like we normally did, he wanted to go and eat at the Pizza Hut (where La Loma is now) and sit down. :)

Cute memories.

I got my Valentine from Dad in the mail…

(I've been eyeing Taylor's CD at Target since it came out, but didn't really want to pay the $14 for it, so I was ecstatic to get it as a gift :))

And got my Valentine from my man that evening.

Roses, a prepared meal Troy titled "Lauren's Favorites"--haha a vegetable plate basically--squash, asparagus, peas, carrots, and sweet potato fries--and then to see the movie Safe Haven, which we both equally enjoyed :) 

I made him coconut caramel bars (on the cutest red and pink stripe heart-shaped plate I found at Target! I wish you could see it better) and white chocolate pretzels.

and balloons. I love balloons. (T says I love balloons because my Dad always gets balloons. His observation is accurate and his theory is probable.)

We had a great Valentine's Day.

It was my 10th Valentine's Day with my TW.

Woah.

Can that be right?!
