Valentine's Day

Yeah I know...Valentine's Day was awhile ago...and I am just blogging about it. Give me a break life gets in the way A LOT. Anways...

Valentine's Day is a day that I have always adored. I have always loved the red, the hearts and just the feelings you feel around this holiday. This was Mickal and I's 5th Valentine's together but the first married. Mickal and I had a lot of ideas what to do for Valentine's Day. First, it was a fun weekend getaway just somewhere not to far but away for the weekend. Us being the couple that never decides anything never picked where to go :) Second, it was a couple massage yeah never try to get a couple massage a week before Valentines you will NOT get a appointment ANYWHERE! Don't even try! So you know what we decided. It wasn't what we did or how much money we spent. It was us spending time together and showing each other as much love as possible.

So that leaves what did we do? We went to Chillis yup you heard me we went to Chillis and enjoyed a nice dinner together and even splurged and got dessert! :) (Which we never do!) We also had a great server by the way (Thanks Sarah you're the best!) After dinner we went home and watched a movie together and laughed and cuddled. In my eyes it was the best day. I don't have a regret at all. I love my husband more than just one day of the year and I don't need a big Valentine's date to prove that love.

P.S. I am going to try to blog more often! :)

Here's some pictures of our simple perfect Valentines :)

Yes my husband finds chips shaped as hearts.. I didn't mind :)

Ahhhhhhhmazing :)

 

Updates...Updates...Updates

Ok don't let the title of this post fool you. I have no updates really.. I haven't been able to blog for a long time. Life has been crazy. But that's life. As I was sitting on my couch catching up on the Bachelor (mmm Juan Pablo) without Mickal I realized how much I love to be with my husband. Mickal is working till late tonight which I absolutely hate.  Even though I went 2 years without seeing him, it's hard to be away from him. I am very lucky to have a husband who works hard to support us. Even though some days I wish I could just be with him 24/7.

 

This past week has been a hard, but my husband made it easier. On Thursday I was having a bad day and just wanted to be home. I had to stay at work for longer that I usually am there and Mickal took it has a opportunity to make me smile. I came home to a clean house, dishes done and laundry in the dryer. Oh wait I forgot to mention, I came home to a BEAUTIFUL vase of roses. They made our apartment smell like a garden in the winter. It was the best, I have the best husband that's all.

Return with Honor

I've been to my fair share of missionary homecoming talks. They're actually one of my favorite meetings to go to. Why?

 

1. Because the spirit in that meeting is always so strong and it's so amazing to see how much the Elder has grown spiritually in 2 years.

 

2. Because every time it reminds me of my husbands homecoming talk. 

 

That is a day I will never forget. His sacrament was bright and early at 9 am (remember I spent ALL weekend with him till late) I woke up at 6 to make cinnamon rolls for the luncheon and got ready at the same time. Hello it takes longer to get ready for a special occasion like this because you want to look PERFECT! The dress I picked was so cute (I actually wore it for my engagement photos) I didn't realize at the time it would be in November meaning, IT WOULD BE COLD! This dress wasn't the warmest, but you can't wear the outfit you picked out for this very day! So freezing it is.

 

When I walked into the chapel I ran into one of Mickal's previous companions I introduced myself and got chatting. It was awesome he said "So you're the girl that Elder McMurray is crazy about" I felt my face blush but I didn't mind. Hearing that Mickal talked about me on his mission made me feel so loved and special.

 

Then he walked in the doors, I instantly felt numb and like a 7th grade with a crush. It wasn't like it was the first time I saw him. I spent all weekend with him. But I am so in love with him every time I see him I am just taken back how amazing he is! Anyways...He gave an amazing talk! He was given pretty much the whole meeting. You know youth speakers and their 2 minutes talks. Yeah, Mickal had the rest with no rest hymn or anything.

 

The spirit that he brought to that chapel was amazing. Hearing stories of members in his mission, and experiences that happened their make me so proud of him. He was a great missionary. Everyday I am grateful for him serving a mission. When our kids ask about our love story I will tell them how we were separated for 2 years and communicated by love letters. I will forever be a RMG (Return Missionary Girlfriend) or in my case a RMW (Return Missionary Wife) :)
