Valentine's Day Fun

This was our very first official Valentine's Day together. Jessie, for one, was more than a little excited. She was hinting at the importance of this Valentine's for weeks beforehand. Asking what we were going to do, asking what I had planned, threatening my life if I were to forget or plan other activities. I think we may have just started dating last year during Valentine's Day but we weren't close enough to actually do anything in particular. To tell you the truth, neither of us can remember.

Jessie, was in true form in the morning, sleeping in well past ten. I woke up earlier, did some cleaning, and made her breakfast in bed. By the time I had finished and brought the food in she was still fast asleep and rather delirious as I woke her up. Most of the time, because of prior experiences, Jessie isn't allowed to eat in bed, or on the futon for that matter, but seeing as how it was Valentine's the rule was overlooked.

After going to class and the store I came home with flowers for Jessie. She got me a wonderful book outlining all the things she loves about me. It was awesome and I loved it! It was the perfect present. For dinner we went to Happy Sumo for sushi to find out that there was a two hour waiting list to be seated...and that was a SHORT time come to find out. Another restaurant next door had a three to four hour wait. Lucky for us we knew of a small little sushi place that is not very well known, but has excellent sushi. For all you women out there reading this and wondering about the sushi rule with pregnant women, don't worry. Jessie just ate cooked fish sushi, so we're all good. She got her sushi fix without breaking any rules! :)

After a lack luster attempt to make our way into a sold out theater to watch a movie, we rented a couple of our own, went to the store for some more food, and headed home for a night alone. For dessert we made chocolate covered strawberries. Grownup-like, civil behavior quickly gave way to the childish act of food fighting. I'd like to think I won, but I guarantee Jessie would disagree. In all it was a very nice night.Jessie and her flowers. She's not drunk, just rather tired.
