The old Valentine's weekend turned out to be a good one. I figured that Katie would be disappointed about not being able to see me on Valentine's day (today) and that I'd try to make up for it by spending some time with her this weekend and also by trying to get her a great valentine's present.
So, this past Friday, I went to Ruston and picked up a Pizza from Pieworks on the way in. When I got to the house, Katie had candles lit and had bought me balloons, a teddy bear that had "I love you" sewn on to it's chest, and a bunch of candy (I love me some candy). We ate pizza, got close and watched Blazing Saddles... forgive me St. Valentine. We talked a little bit about what I'd gotten her for Valentines (as I didn't have anything to show for it), tickets to Les Miserables in Shreveport this coming Saturday night. Looking back, I feel kinda bad that I didn't have anything there to give her, but we had a great night nonetheless.
The next day we headed over to Monroe and did a little shopping (looked a bit at a few rings...*gasp*), ate at the Olive Garden and saw Hitch, which was surprisingly good. So, if anyone who reads this is looking for a good date movie to see in the near future, go see Hitch. It's the first movie in a long time that I've actually felt was worth the money and trouble.

Sunday, we just relaxed and watched TV, took a trip to the old house, or as I like to call it, my vacation home, and went to wal-mart before I headed back to Shreveport. It kills me every week when one of us has to leave, but after such a great weekend, I couldn't help but be satisfied with how everything worked out.
