Our First Valentine's Day!

This day! Oh goodness! It started with me waking up ready to attack this Valentine's Day thing because I was so excited! After dressing in red and making sure I had my heart earrings I walked upstairs to find a valentine from Mary! Then walked out the door to find we had been heart attacked! And they used some excellent puns :) I walked down the street to Connors with a spring in my step. Him and his roommates greeted me as I approached and we found Maia then started towards stake conference. Oh what a powerful meeting! The stake clerk spoke about his experience with losing his son and I just had flashbacks to Casey the whole time. Then we came home and my visiting teachers came over! After that I went to ward choir then came home to wait around for Connor to be done talking to his family. That took much longer than either of us anticipated and we were both pretty worked up and emotional by the time he finally got to come see me. Thankfully we talked it through and hugged it out and then exchanged wonderfully nerdy presents! He made me my very own wand!! It's beautiful! And oh my goodness I'm so very happy! Another thing for my world room! And he loved his pillow case! Insisted on wearing it on his head and telling everyone I made him a hat for twenty minutes. Then he saw the picture and felt silly because he didn't realize how goofy it looked. Anyway! Then we sat/snuggled on the couch while my roommates finished their parts of dinner and we just told each other all the things we love about the other person. Connor went first and I teared up a couple of times because he loves the things about me that I always hoped someone would. And he knows that and he knows me and I feel so lucky every day because he picked me and now we're here! I told him things I love about him and he kissed me a lot. Apparently he likes that. I made him a cheesecake too! He left when my roommates and I started our dinner and went around saying what we loved about each other. It turned into a sob fest and I am just very grateful for all of those women I get to live with. I love them in a different way than friends and it's interesting to see that all pan out. After that I ran (literally) to Connors apartment and we watched mission impossible:rogue nation with his roommates then made out for awhile afterwards. All in all I would have to say that this is by far the best Valentine's Day I have spent on this earth! I love being in love and loving others!
