Valentines Day!!!

Even though both Jesse and i feel like "Valentines Day" it is just a comercial day for bussines to make money, we still try to do something little for eachother. We just feel like anyone can celebrate V-Day any day of the year, any time.
Anyways...it was a very nice, fun and simple V-Day. Eventhough i made Jesse a yummy breakfast with all my love (like i always do:), it wasnt as special as what Jesse did for me.
Jesse wanted french toast for breakfast, so i did all of them in heart shape. With melted chocolate i wrote around the plate "Happy V-Day, I Love U" and tryed to decorate it nice. I'm upset i didnt take a picture of it. I was trying to finishit up before Jesse came in from shoveling the snow outside and i barely finished before he walked in the door. I gave it to him and we started chatting, so i forgot all about the picture. I love making french toast w/a little vanilla. It makes the house smell so yumm :)
After bereakfast i had to run to the store and buy a few things. When i came back, i found a red envelope on top of the counter, written on it "ZHEMA IME". I opened up and LOVED the card i saw.
Jesse wrote on the card:
"This is one reason why i Love Zhema. But why else do i love zhema?"













It is true though. Jesse and i are different in a lot of things, but i could not see my self being married and loving anyone else but him. He tryly is the LOVE of my life.
So i thought he wanted me to start guessing and telling him: why else??? After a few guesses he told me that i will find out through out the day. Hmmmm... ok :) I walked in our bedroom to go and take a shower and there i see a rose inside "The Book of Mormon" on my night stand dror. I go to take it and i see a sticky note on it saying: "Because she wants to spend FOREVER with me!" Ohhhhhh... sweet. I go and kiss him and say thank you and as i walk to the shower i see another one by my side of the sink in our bathroom. It sayed:"Because she is too Bukur!" ("Bukur" means "Beautiful" in Albanian) So i go and kiss him again and he tells me that i need to keep looking for 3 more. I forgot all about the shower and started looking around the house. I go upstairs and see another rose inside Preston's crib saying: "Because she is the best mom!". I found another one in our bedroom inside our bed saying: "Because she gives me the good back scratch!" The long thing in the picture is what i use to scratch his back sometimes when we read or chill in bed before we go to sleep. He fricken LOVES back scratch. I think he likes it more than... you know... because when i first saw the rose on top of our bed i though he would say: Because i give him the good Lovin!" LOL, sorry... too many details :)
The last one was hard to find. I did guess it, but i could not find the rose. He put it inside our oven, saying: "Because she cooks me!" I Know that sounds weird, but he is saying it in a funny way. Has been like this from the beginning when we got married. If i translate word by word from Albanian to English i would say it like that. In English it sounds like i will cook Jesse... lol...but in Albanian it makes perfect sense. We know it means to cook something FOR you. So since when we were first married i was asking him: "Do you want me to cook you" and he never corrected me for the longest time but kept laughing about it and saying: Yes, cook me please ;). Until after a while he told me why it was funny to him.
I was like a happy little kid in Christmas time, running around the house trying to find the roses. It really touched me and i was SO impressed by my sweet, thoughtful Jesse. He has done something similar like this a few years ago, where he wrote on a card top 10 reasons why he loves me. So this times he had to write 5 different reasons. He repeated the " Beautiful" reason though and I'm OK with that :) He is a very private person when it comes to showing affection in public. He wants to leave thing like that for at home only. He truly is a very caring, loving, kind and thoughtful husband. I mostly love him because he has a very sweet and forgiving heart. He is SO patient with me and I'm very thankful for it. I LOVE you Zhema ime :)
We had plans to go to SLC for dinner, but since it was snowing non stop we decided to stay in Orem instead. Of course as we went out the weather got clear skye and sunshine, but oh well we still stayed in Orem. The shortest wait was at Iggys restaurant, so that's where we went. We love Iggys, so that was great.
We had stake conference this weekend so we had to go after dinner and attend that till 8:30 and after we went with our neighbors to "Red Mango" for a yummy frozen yogurt treat. We chatted by the fireplace for about an hour and half or so and had a fun time there. We love our neighbors, they are so fun :) Thank you SO much mom and dad for babysitting Preston the whole time we were out.

So SWEET! Wow, I'm jealous.

Preston is so adorable!!! Way to go on getting him to sleep through the night in his crib! Just keep it up, sometimes that's the hardest part....sticking to your guns!

We keep on saying this, but we need to hang out! Even if it's just chillin' at the house and ordering in. Later!
