For Valentines this year, I surprised Joe with a little gift each day for 5 days leading up to Valentine's Day. Day one was red balloons and an apple in his car. 
Each of the 5 gifts had something with a cute saying on it like this...
On Valentine's Day, we got out of town and drove 30 minutes to Macon to go to a new restaurant called AJ's. We got there after the initial dinner rush because we knew it would likely be crowded, being the newest restaurant around in like 5 surrounding towns.
Notice, it looks like a barn inside... yeah, that's as nice as it gets round here.
Joe and I have exchanged "love notes" every Valentine's day and this year that's all that Joe gave me and it was wonderful! I told him not to buy me anything for Valentine's day because he did so much for my Birthday just 3 days prior. When I woke up on my birthday (Feb. 11) , our house looked like this....
I had a stack of presents and there were balloons and streamers everywhere! What a surprise!
On the afternoon of my birthday, I did Facetime with my parents and opened a package my family had sent to me! It was fun to get to SEE them!
I went to see the movie, "The Vow" with some of my besties. It was a perfect movie to see with all girls! We loved it.

After the movie, we went back to the house where Joe and Ben had been busy at work. I requested a custom dinner order for my birthday and they did a wonderful job!! The celebration was a joint one for Brigid and I (Ben and Brigid Woodhead, that is).
On the menu: Italian Sausage and Spinach Lasagna, a fun salad, bread with oil and vinegar, sparkling cider, and for dessert... funfetti cake and peanut butter cup ice cream!! Everything tasted so good and Joe really wowed everyone with his baking skills. He said that was the biggest group he's ever prepared a meal for and I'm thrilled that he now knows he can do something like that and will have confidence to do it again!?!?

Opening Presents! It was a great week of celebrations!
Can't believe I'm 27! At least I'll never be as old as Joe. :)
