Valentine's Day started out pretty stressful for me. Jaron had been making jokes for a few weeks about it not being a big deal and so I was not expecting much, partly because he was working until 7pm and I had 3 tests, tennis practice and class until 7 as well.I had been running late for things all day and was getting ready for tennis when he called and ended up running out of gas on the freeway as I was talking to him. I called the coach and let him know I was going to be a little late so I could go help Jaron. I got out to where he was stranded, turns out another guy had run out of gas as well, so we were going to help him too. We ran to Jaron's house and picked up a gas container, filled it and picked the other guy up to go get his car first. It took a little longer than expected, but finally got both cars to the gas station. Just as I was about to leave to go to practice, Jaron pulled out 2 bouquets from his truck- one of Gerber daisies (my favorite) and the other star-gazer lilies, because we love looking at the stars together. Totally surprised me and cheered me up all at once.
He also let me know that he had dinner under control and that I shouldn't do anything. He picked me up later on that night after work and class, and after a few short stops we were on our way. He ordered Olive Garden to go and we headed up near Saguaro Lake. I can't believe how much thought he put in to this, he loaded a couch into the back of his truck so we could eat and look at the stars, made a playlist on his iTunes of all our favorite songs, brought his guitar, pallets of wood to do a bonfire, I mean really, this guy thought of everything.
In the last week I bought 2 new cameras, my old point and shoot camera had died after 7 years so I figured I earned the right to a nice one. First, I found a replacement for the point and shoot for really cheap and ordered that one. Since I got it for such a good price Jaron suggested that I look for a nicer camera, since I had been thinking of getting it initially instead of the point and shoot. Well I ended up finding one for a really great price and got a few extra accessories from the guy thanks to some suggestions from my brothers and price shopping before I met with the guy selling it. So all of the pictures in this post are taken with the point and shoot as I was trying to figure it out, I'll do another post later on with pictures from the nice camera. Anyway- back to Valentine's day. I had been sitting on the couch while Jaron was making the fire, and all of the sudden he felt something poking him. Turns out he had stepped on a cactus that attached itself to his pants. After laughing about it (After I made sure he was ok) I felt something poking my leg. Well lo and behold
Cactus attacks aside, it was a wonderful Valentine's and I was so amazed by how much thought Jaron put into it.
