Celebrating Love Day with a RED theme

We had a relaxing Love day. I liked that it was on Saturday and that we could wake up and lounge together all day long. The day before, Brooke and I took baloons and chocolate covered strawberries into Brent at his work. He was surprised and maybe even a little embarrassed to have balloons at his desk!

We had lots of red respresentation for Valentines Day! A special homemade RED hairbow just for the occasion.

Brooke got an extra special Valentine's gift this year! A RED chair all to herself that fits perfectly by the TV stand. It even came with an ottoman! Since we have had this, I often can't find her and now I know right where to go.. she's happily sitting in her chair!

I love this picture of her clapping...

We got takeout at my new favorite restaurant here.. Italian, of course, and made our traditional heart cake but made no effort at decorating it cute. Although it was RED velvet on the inside... just a boring white frosting!

A few months ago, I told Brent not to spend any money for Valentine's day because I had gotten him something. It is a beautiful distressed photograph of the Salt Lake Temple, where we were married, with our names and wedding day engraved onto it. Brent was still so sweet and I woke up to a trail of candy from the bedroom out into the living room where there were THREE vases full of flowers and a nice card. My sister, Amy, thinks flowers are so cliche on Valentine's day, but I would feel bad if I didn't get any. Brent also cooked up an awesome eggs, hashbrowns, sausage and RED smoothie breakfast.

And what better place to put our brand new picture that on our newly painted RED wall in our office........!! Yes, we spent most of Valentine's day painting.

Our office has been needing an overhaul since we moved in, and we love it! We actually spend time in there now.

We framed our diplomas and put them above the desk. The painting is of the football stadium in Berkeley. I had been looking for some kind of picture or painting that we could have after moving and my Mom found this gem on ebay for $20!!

Next painting job... Brooke's room! It looks more lime than it is in this picture, but I really love it. Painting has become a new hobby and something that Brent and I really like to do together. Thank you to my friend, Emily, for teaching me how to do it.

Sorry we've been M.I.A. for the past month. Every once in awhile, one needs a break from blososphere, I suppose. A few more posts to come later on!
