First off, teenagers are hilarious. When students would walk in with candy or gifts for each other, I would take them, thank them profusely for being so thoughtful, and go to put them on my desk. They would look at me like I was crazy; "but Ms., that's not for you, that's for my girlfriend." I would fake reprimand them about not getting me anything, and then give them their gift back. In pity, a few students did give me small pieces of candy from their collections :D One sweet student (the same that got me a wonderful Christmas present) bought me the cutest chocolate dog! She's the best!
When I came home, I found beautiful daisies (some of my favorite flowers) on the table. Nick wanted to open presents right away, and I couldn't refuse him. I got him some Reese's and a new 2 player board game. Side note: we are obsessed with board games, particularly those for two players that require a lot of strategy and thinking. I will do a blog post in the near future reviewing some of our favorite board games! Anyway, I bought Nick Lost Cities, which on a lot of board game review blogs, has been listed as one of the best. We played toward the end of the night and had a great time! The game requires a great deal of strategy, and despite both of us playing poorly, Nick still won :D
Nick got me the new Dan Brown book, Origin, the next in the Robert Langdon series. Love these books! So excited to read it! As well, he got me a new rose gold metal band for my fitbit. And Reese's. We both love Reese's haha
Side note: I think this card is hilarious and so true :D The cards we picked out for each other very much fit our personalities!
We at Buca di Beppo in Scottsdale for dinner--we have decided that we are going to start 2 Valentine's Day traditions after today: 1) we are going to eat Italian food on Valentine's Day and 2) we are going to watch our wedding video.
