I know most of you have already forgotten all about Valentine's Day. I had too until I started getting pictures off my camera and found a picture of the beautiful bouquet Lewis bought me. So here's a fun little post about how my Valentine's Day was.
The three weeks leading up to Valentine's Day, Lewis and I spent helping my best friend, Rena, plan an awesome spy game themed dinner for her family. Every year, they plan a fun family dinner rather than fight the hordes of people at the restaurants. It's a great tradition and one I might just implement myself. Anyway, the dinner was a success. You might even say it was the bomb! Har har har... (Everyone died when they failed to disarm the bomb.)
The night before Valentine's Day, we went on a double date with my brother, Ben and his wife, Windy. We went to Burger Supreme for dinner (my favorite burger place EVER!) and then went to Trafalga in Lehi for laser tag. It was my first time trying laser tag and I was a little worried that I wouldn't be up to all the running around, given that I've never been keen on running even when I'm not pregnant. But there is actually no running allowed. So it was actually really awesome. In fact, it was so much fun, that I want to do that for every date night!
On Valentine's Day itself, I got to participate in a fun card exchange with my old Cali peeps. I got Katie who, like myself, is a huge Doctor Who fan. So I made her this card:
And I received this amazing card from Rebecca:
I had so much fun making the card for the exchange that I decided to make a card for Lewis and my mom too.

My mom's card has one of my favorite mother-daughter combos in cinema on the cover with the word "Agape" on it, which means unconditional love or familial love. And the back says "Thank you". I think that really captured the feelings I wanted to express to my mom. I am so grateful for her unconditional love and all that she is willing to do and has done for me.
Lewis is far better at big romantic gestures than I am and got me the most beautiful bouquet of flowers. He has a great story about it that I'll let him tell in the comments.
