Valentine's Gifts

We didn't exchange thoughtful, romantic Valentine's gifts. Instead, we just used Valentine's Day as an excuse to splurge on a few things we've been wanting. So, we gifted each other some seasons of Everybody Loves Raymond, our favorite show at the moment.

We also purchased a photo book I made compiling all the "growing up" pictures we collected for our wedding slide show.

I included "through the ages" pages to list our favorite books, movies, shows, and activities throughout childhood.

Adam Through the Ages

For our anniversary a few years ago, Adam made me a little book telling the story of how we got together. I scanned all the pages and added them to the photo book.

And the book ends with some high school dating pictures.

That brings our photo book total to three - growing up, studying abroad, and getting married. I'm planning on making one for our college years when Adam graduates and then I'll probably start doing them on a yearly basis.

Last, but certainly not least, my lovely parents gifted us with some clothes from Land's End Canvas.

We're loving our new outfits. Thank you, mom and dad!
