Be my Valentine

Last night Brett and I celebrated Valentines Day together. I went straight from work to pick up his gift and then home to get him. He chose for me to give him his gift right then so I did. I bought him a pair of his favorite shoes in the world in a different color. Anyone that knows him well or sees him often knows that he wears his brown Castro slip ons all the time... but this keeps him from ever wearing anything but brown. I found the exact same shoes in a black and gray color. He didn't even know they existed and he was super excited.


We went to the Olive Garden to eat dinner. During dinner he got a phone call that my gift was ready to be picked up.... I have been dieing to figure this out. I found out 3 days ago that he spent over $230 dollars on my gift and I was first upset that he spent so much, and then second super curious as to what gift could possible cost that much that he would think to get me. I love to be surprised, however I cant stand to know there is a surprise and not know what it is... So if Brett ever surprises me he has to keep it a secret that he has a secret.... But this time I knew and it was eating at me and for 3 whole days, Brett put up with the questions like this...

What store is it from?
How small is it?
Have I told you I want one before?
Is it eatable?
Can I only use it in a certain season?
etc etc....

And he gave answers like this....

I don't know
You will have to wait and see

We went to the mall and he ran in to get the mystery gift from the mystery store. When we got home, he gave it to me. It was so beautiful and so sweet that I didn't care how much he spent and I was so glad he kept it a secret. It is a white gold ring with real black and white diamonds.




Today we are going to see Valentines Day at the theater. It seems like an appropriate movie to see.
