Valentine's Day - Bachelor Style

Have I have mentioned that I have the best and most hilarious husband ever? Probably not. I hate being mushy...especially on my blog. Well in case you were wondering, I do. He is SO funny. I have never been big on Valentine's Day, but it is fairly significant in our marriage. For those who don't know, Max and I were best friends for a long time before we started dating. But on Valentine's Day, Max decided that he really liked me. About 2 months later, I decided I liked him too and the rest is history. So Max always plans our Valentine's Day. He never disappoints, but this year was hilarious!! You see, every Monday night I make Max watch The Bachelor with me. He thinks this is ridiculous and I think he secretly loves it...hence our date.

We started the day with me coaching the Young Women's basketball team to victory. (Just had to throw that in.) Then Halle and I made these.
Which were supposed to look a lot more like these. Obviously I am not a chef.

Then Max had to go to work for a few hours. After he left, there was a knock at the door and I found this.
The "date box." It had a gift card and a poem about the evening. Already I was laughing so hard.

Then Max came to pick me up and presented me with these.
It's one of my ridiculous necklaces and my wedding ring, which I never wear because I always lose. But of course this was to represent the crazy jewelry they present to the women before their one on one dates. Awesome.

Then the rest of the date was fairly normal. We had a wonderful time at dinner and then hurried home because we had this waiting for us.
But no Bachelor date would be complete without the Final Rose, so of course Max had set up a stand at our house with a single rose sitting on it and made me stand across from him anxiously waiting to see if I would get the final rose. He made my dad (our babysitter, along with my mom) stand in as the other contestant, just for dramatic effect.
Of course I forgot to take a picture of it on the stand and it is a little wilty this morning, but you get the idea.

Max...you are hilarious!! I love you!! And if you don't watch The Bachelor, this probably made no sense to you.
