Our church Valentine’s Banquet was cancelled due to the snow so we made last minute family plans to go see the Lego Movie and eat at Long Horn. And this started the best day evahhhhh. We had so much fun. I’m not sure if it was in part because were were just glad to get out of the house for the first time in three days or if it was because love was in the air or what. We just had a great time. The Lego Movie was really funny and a perfect movie for our lego loving’ family. And then at Long Horn they overcooked the steaks that Randy and Sophie ordered so they brought out new ones and let us take the other ones home. So Randy was #happy happy happy about this. Then we did one of our favorite family traditions since moving to NC. We went to Barnes and Noble and everyone picked out a book and then we went to Caribou Coffee and got hot drinks and read. After that we made our way to REI because our entire family loves this store. We found a nice pair of Keen shoes for Randy on sale for $54.00 but when we got up to pay for them they were ringing up at regular price which was $110.00. It was a mistake and the shoes weren’t supposed to be marked down but they gave them to us for that price because of the sign that was up. We hardly made it out the door before we were high five-ing and doing the happy dance of joy joy. We joked about how we were like that lady in the IKEA commercial who gets such a great deal and on the way out to the parking lot she’s yelling the whole way to her husband who is in the car waiting on her, “START THE CAR! START THE CAR!” Like they had to get away fast because it was such a great deal. I’m pretty sure you had to be there for that to be even remotely funny. We walked hand in hand to the car while the kids took their own route through the huge mounds of snow piles and though our Valentine’s Day wasn’t what we had planned it was the perfect Valentine’s Day. And here’s what I’m loving about my man…..
- He loves God with all his heart
- He loves his family and shows it
- He leads our church with wisdom and humility
- He is handsome schmandsome!
- He’s funny and smart
- He works hard
- He forgives and extends grace
I am blessed beyond measure.
Love you Randy!
