Spontaneous Valentines Day

Spontaneity is good for the soul! Lately I've been feeling claustrophobic and trapped, I don't know what other words to describe the feeling, but it just hasn't felt good. I always joke with Jeff saying let's just go to Disneyland today, I need to get away. Going through IVF and the waiting process is hard and at times you just feel out of control (in more than one way hahaha) in the sense that you don't have control over the situation. If you know me then you know that I'm kind of a control freak, but in a cute way right Jeff?? (hahaha)

With that being said....we took a spontaneous day trip to DISNEYLAND! Yes, we are crazy!

  I just love him!!!

 We are crazy...crazy in love!

 Mickey photo bombing us.

 I just love this shot, it captures the magic of Disney's toon town.

 The trick to getting pictures together is to offer to take other people's pictures first then they naturally ask if you want on too...LOL.

 The perfect blooms over Minnie's house.

 He's perfect to me.

 And this is what he gets...HAHAHAHA.

 This is the experienced Disneylander look...
-Tevas for the feet
-Fanny pack full of essentials so you don't have to take off and put on a bag for the rides
-Stretchy jeans
-Tshirt with a light cover for the nights
-Sunglasses
-Minnie ears

 Okay Jeff no more pictures!

 This time around at Disneyland we decided to take a slower pace and just enjoy things we've never experienced there before. We did the monorail, the train ride, the river boat, walked through shops, and rode character rides we'd never ridden. It was nice to just take it all at a slower pace.

 A magical Valentines Day with my prince!

 Some pretty shots of the castle I captured this time around.

 Jeff treats me like a real life princess, I truly don't know how I snatched him up but I am SOOOOOOOOO grateful I did! 

 I love you Jeff.

Anyway we decided LAST MINUTE to just take a day trip to Disneyland. Yes it is a 5 and half hour drive for us and no we don't have annual passes, although I wish we did. We had a wonderful Valentines day just being together! We are hoping this is our last Valentines just the two of us so we tried to make it extra memorable and special and I'd say we succeeded!
While we were there we decided to show how to use the Disney Max Pass, mostly because Jeff had a school assignment where he had to make a HOW TO video so here you go. It's cheesy and we are not good at the whole "commercial" voice but it was fun to make anyway!

My love letter to Jeff...and my life!

Well it's nothing new, but I love my life and this week was full of blessings and love!

 I love this wall and all the beautiful memories it holds! I have danced for every cause but one, and that one I was in attendance and knew I wanted to be a part of it! I love kalamity and all that it stands for!💜

 The hair lightening process this far! I love that Cec is doing hair now and I'm loving the blonde!!!

 Every Monday I get to chill with Jilly! I love this little girl, she is so smart and creative it blows my mind! She built this awesome block fort all by herself and I was really impressed!

 With my schedule this semester I get to spend more time with my Mom! I love when she randomly calls or texts me and asks if I want to go shopping. She is truly one of my best friends and I love how we can laugh, hang out, and talk so naturally and easy. I love you mom!!!

 Sydnee had sick eyes this last week and it was causing her eyes to swell to the point of not being able to open her eyes so she went to the eye doctor and was taken care of by my hubby! Thanks for the action shot mom! 

 I've been bugging Jeff for weeks about going ice skating, well he made it a reality for me Friday night!

 We DEFINITELY weren't good, BUT we didn't fall on our face either so that was a win in our books!

 For Valentines we heart attacked only a few of the people we love, starting with Grandpa Ah Quin and Tierra. We also attacked Grandma Ah Quin, (I did) Jeff's car, my parents, and Jeff's parents. I love love and I love that we celebrate it.

 We had our Valentine's Ball fundraiser for Calum Saturday night and it was a blast. I had to take this picture because Jeff performed and he sounded amazing, but I couldn't stop laughing at his mic stand. Andy and Jeff are the funniest friends because they are so opposite, but it's fun to see them together.

It's fun having our siblings (future sibling) involved in the same things we are. These two are adorable together and I love when we get chances to hang out!

For Valentines Day I made Jeff a little video of secret footage I've been gathering throughout the year. I love him and I think he's the greatest thing since Oreo cookies and I hope this video gives you a glimpse of how I see him. He's the milk to my oreos, the peanutbutter to my pb&j, the music to my road trip, the soil to my flowers, and the key to my heart! I love him so much and words or videos really can't capture it, but I tried. 

I love you Jeff!!!!

Love & Stuff.

Life never slows down!

I'm sure you all know that though.

This is what's been going on with the Hauck's...

 We are in LOVE with Maze and take way too many pictures of him haha :)

 I've had LOTS of 4:00 am (yes I meant to put the "am" there) practices in preparation for the 4 benefit concerts we've had and are going to be having, so after I like to shower and sit and watch the sun rise, one of God's beautiful gifts to us!

Oh an our date nights usually consist of TJ Maxx, this time we had TOO much fun with the magnifying glass. Haha, I love my relationship with my husband.

 I may have dressed up a little for Valentines day! But who doesn't love a holiday dedicated to LOVE?

 I got Jeff a face razor for Valentines Day but one gift never seems like enough so I made him a fruit bouquet, which he loved! His is the blue ribbon one and I made the other one for my dad to give to my mom! I am NO professional and the arranging is actually A LOT harder then you think, but for the first time not too bad right???

 Valentines day evening Jeff and Andy planned a scavenger hunt filled with all kinds of tasks to complete before moving on. This is them all excited before we started! It was adorable to see them so excited!!!

 Us ladies ready for the adventure they had planned!

 First clue led us to a park where we got dizzy and were forced to change into matching "jail bird" leggings. (Jeff's words, not mine!)
Then we went to the studio where we had to do some serious interpretive dancing and that's where we got some new kicks! Matching of course.

 

 After the studio we were sent searching for our next destination, which turned out to be town square. There we had to paint each others nails an unflattering gold color (which we never have our nails painted). Oh, an we got to add the black hooker shorts to our outfits haha.
After the park we went to Dixie rock where we sang a BEAUTIFUL love song to our loves and that's when we picked up the gorgeous blue shirt.
Then it was off to the mall to get our bling shined and that's where we got our second bling (ring pops).

 After all the craziness we got to eat Durangos at a park and have some nice conversation! :) After dinner we got the headbands and sunglasses then headed to Yogurtland where we enjoyed our delicious yogurt with lots of stares!
It was a fun and crazy Valentines Day, one that I will surely not forget! Thanks babe for all the thought and planning you put into the day of LOVE! I love you!

We fondue.

I'm all about easy when it comes to cooking.

This chocolate fondue is super easy and it makes for a fun night!

Who doesn't like to fondue???

Easy Chocolate Fondue

3 to 4 semi-sweet chocolate cubes
2 tablespoons butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons water

Melt chocolate, butter, and condensed milk, and water over medium heat. Stir continuously until all chocolate is melted. (I have a fondue set so I just mix it in there but if you don't, just keep it on warm in your crock pot!)

The greatest thing about fondue is you can literally dip anything in it!

I love pineapple, strawberries, bananas, and pretzels, but anything tastes great!

Super easy and delicious!

Nothing better...

If you enjoy reading don't be afraid to follow! :)

Good day for LOVE.

Valentines day is such a fun holiday!

A day set apart for love, how much better could it get?

I just had to share our special little day of love.

 We don't have a light in our room and we usually just use a lamp, but I thought it would be cute to use Christmas lights! We are keeping them up, but I just chose Valentines to surprise Jeff with it!

 One more...cause it's so cute!

Jeff loves fondue so I decided to make him a chocolate fondue! It was so fun and super delicious! Click here for recipe.

 Best $1 I ever spent. I couldn't resist with this card...

Haha...

Jeff surprised me with a closet!!! Our apartment is a little special, along with not having a light in the master bedroom, it didn't have a closet! If you know me, I love clothes and I have way too many. I kept bugging Jeff that I needed a closet so he got with Andy and made me one and surprised me! I love it! Isn't it so cute??

We had a really fun and low key Valentines day! We watched movies, ate a nice salmon and shrimp dinner, ate lots of chocolate, and just soaked up the love! Hopefully everyone felt loved on the day of love! Happy Valentines!

Answers.

Here are the answers to my Valentines story! Remember the answers are the gifts I gave...

Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess named Raebmac, but everyone called her Rae. She was truly a sweetart, if you know what I mean. Princess Rae was in a hopeless state, she felt like she was looking for a lost symbol that she was never going to find. People were confused as to why she could be so down, she had everything; she had a beautiful crown, she was popular in all the land, she was talented physically and spiritually, she was beautiful, and she came from the greatest family but is seemed she always looking for s’more. Just as her heart was at the saddest it had ever been an Allycat came to her and demanded she follow her that very second. Princess Rae had been school mates with this Allycat, they weren’t good friends so it was weird that Ally would show up at this time but Princess Rae decided she would follow her just this once. Little did Princess Rae know that Ally had alterior motives to showing up at her time of need, Allycat wanted to use the Princess’s looks and popularity to get what she wanted. However, that was not what God had in store in the great milkyway galaxy. At the place Ally had taken the Princess there was a big hunky prince named Sekacyffej, or as his friends called him Seka. When Seka and Princess Rae first laid eyes on one another their hearts seemed to skittle together as one for just a second. The Allycat noticed this and was furious, she wanted Seka all to herself and she instantly started to regret bringing the Princess along. So she decided she needed to stay connected to Prince Seka the whole night. This disappointed Princess Rae but she didn’t expect anything amazing to come from this one night, she was just glad she was doing something to keep her heart from being sad and alone. At the nights end Princess Rae began her journey home alone, feeling hopeless again, knowing she would never see Prince Seka again. However, Prince Seka saw a special light in  Princess Rae that he didn’t want to pass up. The next day she received an invitation to be a frequent viewer of Prince Seka’s facebook account. Princess Rae was overjoyed and even a little flattered at his inquirey, but in the back of her mind knew that Allycat wouldn’t approve. Seka invited Rae to many events he was involved in, and time after time Rae refused, afraid of ruining what he and Ally had, or what Ally had led her to believe they had. One day Princess Rae decided to ask him why he kept asking her to these events when he had a princess of his own, Ally. Prince Seka just about choked of shock, he refused any relation with Ally and assured Rae that she had nothing to worry about, Ally wanted him but he had no desire to pursue her. In fact, he hadn’t even seen her again after that night. After much reassurance was given he was finally able to twix Princess Rae into going out with him. He instantly won her heart with his sweet music and lyrics, and his dreams of becoming a great and mighty physicians assistant, and his desire to take her on adventures with him, such as traveling around the world in 80 days.  He warned her that there will probably be many sour patches on this journey with him but that no matter what he would always love her with his whole heart and never hold anything back from her. She was touched by his love and knew that nothing would come between them. Not even bridewars, those are the worst kind of wars after all, or so the stories have said. They loved each other with their whole hearts, and they grew more and more in love every day. People would say the best thing about their love was that they were continually becoming greater together, moving forward with hope, faith, and charity. Eventually they lived happily ever after, I say eventually because of course it took time, and nothing great ever comes without opposition. But the point of the story is that they did live happily ever after, forever and ever…The End!

Happily Ever After.

So it's a little late, but better late than never! :)

For Valentine's day I made up a fairy tale with mine and Jeff's little story, BUT I used fill in the blank with my gifts. So go ahead and give it a try before I give you the answers.
Of course roles were dramatized to make the story more fairy taleish and more interesting! Haha :)
Have fun!

 Our very first picture together!
