Here’s
recap of my Valentine’s date with the wonderful Matthew Bay.
He met
me downstairs in the lobby of my dorm with two roses. Two because this is our
second Valentine’s. One red for tradition and one white because I am “a white
girl.” 
His
gift was a picture frame with lyrics from one of our favorite songs that depict
our future, Josh Wilson’s “Always Only You.”
Matt
had the evening completely planned out, and I knew absolutely nothing.
We had dinner at P.F. Chang’s. It
was my first time there, and I was super excited because I’ve only recently
discovered my love for Asian cuisine. We each got a cup of soup, we shared a
plate of [delicious] calamari, we each got an entrée (sesame chicken for him,
sweet and sour for me), and a mini dessert (chocolate raspberry concoction for
him, triple chocolate mousse for me)., all of which we ate over candle light.
Having time to spare before our
next event, we talked in the car for a while then wandered around Arlington
Highlands. To our delight, we found the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. We
got two truffles, Amaretto and Iced Cappuccino, and shared them.
Next we headed to Studio Movie
Grill to watch The Vow! I was ridiculously impressed that he had chosen this
movie. I hadn’t dropped many hints, but thankfully I have a guy who likes
chick-flicks and isn’t afraid to say so. It was probably one of the most
realistic sappy movies I have seen (probably because it’s a true story), and I
loved it! 
It’s 24 hours later, and I am still
floating from all of the happiness last night brought. I learned a lot about
how much I can miss when I worry about making things go smoothly and according
to plan. But last night, I had no plan but to let him take me where ever he
wanted. My only goal was to enjoy every minute of it, and I did!
I am so looking forward to spending
many many many more Valentine’s days and every other kind of day with this man.
I am blessed.
