We weren't planning on doing anything (well, at least I didn't know we were going to do anything) for Valentine's Day. However, Michael was planning a big surprise for the day, but none of which worked out. He had wanted to go to a pottery place to make some pots. The only one in town here just lets you paint the pots, not make them. He had this whole vision of making them on the pottery wheel and so he tried finding one everywhere, but with no luck. His second big surprise was to get up early and make me breakfast. He had a fitful night of sleep, or lack thereof, and he woke up to find no syrup. He was so disappointed that nothing was working out. I was just so happy with his intentions on making the day special. We ended up going to Indy for a late lunch at Red Lobster (which if you know Michael, you know this is love taking me here--he is not that big on seafood) and then went to the movies. We saw Dark Knight at the IMAX theater, which was amazing. Neither of us had been to an IMAX movie before. It is incredible and it really is an experience. Every explosion vibrated the seats and some of the views can make you dizzy or feel like you're falling too. So much fun.
We don't get into the whole commercialism of Valentine's Day and our tradition is to always make each other our gifts. This year we decided on music CD's. We thought it would be an ideal gift this year since we will be spending most of the year apart and it will give us something to listen to and hopefully feel closer to each other with. The project itself was a little more time consuming that we had thought so neither of us had it finished by Saturday. We are exchanging them tonight--I'm so excited!
