Last year in February Barry was in Hawaii the first part. I wanted to do something fun for our FIRST Valentines together!! That's right!! Every other year Barry had been away at a golf tournament (golfers just aren't that romantic), so I was listening to the radio like usual, and FM100 had contest about the quirky things your valentines does. Of course, Barry is the Cutest, quirkiest guy ever, so I had a lot, but decided on one. This is the email I wrote:
"Good morning Brian & Rebecca, I have wanted to email you my quirky Valentine since Monday, but since we moved we haven't had internet at work. So I'm finally able to let you know about my Wonderful, quirky Valentine. I have to preface with asking have you ever seen "My Big Fat Greek Wedding?" The father thinks that Windex is the Cure-All for any ailment under the sun. Well, my quirky Valentine believes that Tums are the cure all for any ailment. It goes from anything from my stomach hurting, to pain in my legs, or just a simple headache. Thankfully he is rather healthy, so he doesn't take them very much. But I love laughing whenever I say "I have a headache," and he says, "Take some Tums! They'll help." And he is completely serious. I love this man, and I love everything about him, especially the cute quirks that make me laugh, and have a wonderful day just talking to him. I hope you get this, and laugh with me about how wonderful my Valentine is! Sincerely, Megan Nelson"
They wrote back:
"Megan, You've won today's My Quirky Valentine contest! You've got tickets to the Jim Brickman Valentine's Concert at Kingsbury Hall and dinner for two at Schneitters Restaurant at Zermatt! Congrats! Brian and Rebecca"
It was 8:00 AM here in Utah, and it was 5:00 Am in Hawaii, but I wanted to tell Barry that we were on the radio!! Unfortunately he didn't answer, but I told him when he called me back!! :0) So here are some pictures of us before heading to the concert (sorry they're grainy, they were taken by my cell phone).
This is at the Concert!!! It was Awesome, and we had SO much fun!!
What a great way to spend our first Valentines together in our 3 year courtship!! Of course we were able to share Valentines this year, but we didn't win tickets!! I made him a list of quirky things that I love about him for that day too. Here are some of them:
-You asked for, and were ecstatic to receive a case of canned ravioli
-You compared me to Lacey (Barry's Dog) when we first started dating
-You never got mad that I told everyone you had turrets
-You wanted to feel a “pop” toy go off on your head
-Our fourth date you hugged me, then didn't touch me the rest of the evening
The dinner to Zermatt was incredible also, though we didn't use them until April after my birthday. But we got 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and 1 dessert!! We had to pay the tax and tip which came to 30 dollars, so you can imagine what the cost of the food would have been had we not had the free dinner certificate!! I love this memory, Love Barry, and I love remembering how cute and Quirky my Husband is!!
