chapter five: i mustache you to be my valentine

I had been home a day or two and I hadn't seen Aaron yet. Unlike Christmas, he did not pick me up from the air port. I sensed that he was a little nervous about me coming home so soon after the holidays (I am sure in his mind he was asking how would this affect his independence?), but this was about my dad...and I had to brush it off. Valentine's was kind of up in the air because I was following my own rules. The rules I have passed on to roommates, and girlfriends for the past ten years. I am not a chaser, and have always been old fashioned when it comes to dating. Either Aaron was going to call and ask me out for Valentine's or I would plan a night with my girlfriends, but under no uncertain terms was I NOT going to ask him out. I had to see if he was interested. I've always been under the impression that if a guy doesn't call, "he's just not that into you"...especially when the guys is 32.

He called (whew)....

He asked me out for Valentines (woot)..

He made me breakfast for dinner (yum)...

He made me smile (awesome).

Life in Salt Lake was going to be good.

I brought a package of treats and fake mustaches...and here are the pics! We ate with the VanBeekum's and that night Stephanie joked that she would make our wedding cake.


Now Stephanie IS making our wedding cake, and we couldn't be more excited!

However...I still didn't have this Aaron+Holly thing in the bag. Not all love stories are perfect, but we got there eventually, and in the next post I will tell you how!
