Valentine's Day weekend

I'm a romantic at heart. But not always by action. That's where Ray fills in the gaps - he is the thoughtful one in our relationship.

Heart carved from ebony - Ray gave it to me when we were dating. It is smooth as satin - I remember him sanding it for hours.

This weekend I decided to be proactive in the thoughtful department. I stopped by Pirate O's this morning (the closest thing I've found to Trader Joe's here in Utah) and picked up a few items to help in celebrating the weekend.

Ritter Sports, in remembrance of treats he sent me while he was on his mission.

A new treat I discovered at Pirate O's - made locally, it's delicious!

Cakes de Fleur - a discovery made since we've moved here to Utah. I like chocolate with buttercream frosting the best. This is coconut - for Ray

Valentine's Day. It's our thirty year anniversary this year. Thirty wonderful, love-filled years.

Thank you Ray, for making my life so perfect!

Not a chance I'm ruining a surprise here - he doesn't read my blog.
