Valentine's Day

Yep, it came this year. Kind of weird that I choose to blog about the holiday Valentine's Day when I am pretty sure I did not even post about Thanksgiving or anything else, but oh well. I have some pictures and felt like I should share them. :)

It was just a pretty typical day. The Sunday before the Elders Quorum came into the end of Relief Society and sang. "I am a Child of God" to us and then handed out roses. haha It was dripping with akwardness. I loved it, for that very reason! Fun fact, there were five, I repeat FIVE, of the seven Haynie sisters in the 61st ward on Sunday. It was awesome. Janae and Shandi, we really missed you!

We then had FHE on Monday night and decided to Heart Attack the Bishop. (I did not even post about this, but Bishop Owens got released two weeks ago. I already miss him, but am super excited for Bishop Porter, Bro Hughes, and Bro Rollins. They are going to love being in the 61st ward!) Anyway, we went and heart attacked the bishops house who lives in Orem. There were five of us that went and just as we were sneaking up to his door, who pulls into the driveway? Obviously Bishop Porter and his wife! haha We probably looked super sketchy, Mike had his hood on and we were all trying to hide our plates of cookies and hearts. It was awesome. We got it done and it was such a fun activity! I just love my FHE group! ;)

We also got a PACKAGE in the mail that day. From our oh so wonderful nieces and nephews! They are just the most tender things ever. **Background: My mom always sends us a Valentine's Day package. This year she has been on HCG and did really not want the temptation of all the good stuff she makes while on maintenance for her diet. So she told us no package this year. We were a little bit sad...maybe we thought about disowning her for a second, but we are all good now. So instead my darling sister Janae and her kids made and sent us one.

  

I was clearly SO excited!

We got some dipped pretzels, some 'hot lips' (because we have super hot lips!) dipped in chocolate and a super cute card signed by the nieces and nephews/ Allie wrote all of their names! It was so fun! We are loved and I appreciate it.

When we got home later that night, Taryn and Matt were on their Valentine's date at our apartment. Star and I did not really know if we should leave, or just hang out with them on their date... So we chose the obvious choice and chose to hang out with them, while on their date. Matt even let us eat some of the Strawberry Shortcake he brought for him and Taryn. It was a romantic evening with the four of us (slash five, Bri came over later). haha

Creative little date planner.

Can't even handle the anticipation of what the judges have to say... Matt is praying he is the winner maybe?

They were making Valentines for each other and obviously with Matt playing, it became a contest. We were assigned to be the judges. 

No big, I am just documenting their relationship for them...because they don't. 

 

Aren't they tender? We like them. Saryn was also on a hot Valentine's date with Devin...which is why she is missing from the photos. Apparently Dev did not love the idea of a date at Wellington 4? Weird. But we also love them! :)

Happy Valentine's Day 2011...until next year!
