Valentine's Day

For the love...of Bryce!

So this year, Valentine's Day was such a delight. Bryce said he had to study late that night...which is very common. I mean my love lives at school. I've even deemed a set of desks up there "our kitchen table."

I figured V-Day isn't the best day to go out anyway...you know, too busy, crowded. So I just had a friend over so that we could work on her wedding stuff. All the sudden, she got a call and said she had to go home. (She knew Bryce was up to something...but she played it all very well.) Then Bryce called me and said he'd locked his keys in the car. He asked if I could come up to the school to unlock his Honda. Of course, I grabbed my stuff and went out the door.

When I got to where I'd parked my car, it was gone! I panicked for a second, but then I saw a set of flashing lights. It was my car with the flashers on! It all clicked right then...Bryce was up to something. I looked all over for him. I figured he had to be close. But then, as I got in my car, there was something on the dash...a GPS. He'd installed a GPS. I was so excited. I called him right away. And then I turned off the car. I couldn't wait to find him and give him a big hug and kiss.

I called and he said, "Are you following the directions?"

Wait a minute! Oh! The GPS...I needed to follow it, but OOPS, I'd turned the car off. Luckily, the GPS picks right back up when you turn the car back on. I was so excited. Bryce was being so secretive. I found out later that he was watching me from behind a big mound of snow. I followed all the twists and turns on the directions. It was so clear and the mapping was fantastically done.

I thought I was headed to Union Station...where Bryce LOVES the cobb salad, but the directions had me go right past it. I ended up at Javier's...one of my favorites and a Javier location that we seldom go to. (There are two closer Javier's, but that one, the original, is the best.)

Bryce was inside with dinner ordered and the whole series of Seinfeld episodes. A LOVEly night!
