I know, I know... in my post last week I said that I would blog "tomorrow" about my Valentine's Day, and, well, I didn't. Anyway, I'm just going to get to the point and tell you all about our super low-key Valentine's Day. Really though, it was SUPER low-key.
On Valentine's Day, we woke up and went to work and school (yippee)! Tyler was lucky enough to work until 6:00 pm, so I was just hanging out at home by myself for a few hours. Don't worry though, I stayed plenty busy...you see, Tyler and I decided to just eat dinner at home so that we wouldn't have to fight all of the Valentine's crowds, and let me tell you, it was an excellent decision! So, you're wondering what we had for dinner? Why I had to hang out at Walmart so Tyler could go home and get his wallet? Yeah, we had some Crock Pot Chicken Cordon Bleu, and if I would've been thinking properly, I would've taken some pictures, but alas, I did not. Just know that it was delicious and super easy!

Then, I made some Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies once the chicken was in the crock pot...AND they were delicious and super easy. I would definitely recommend them.

Once we had finished our Valentine's dinner, we decided to go to Walmart to see if there were any other presents that we wanted to get for each other. Wally World always seems to pull through for us, and we got another movie! Just the fabulous The Emperor's New Groove! A movie that I have wanted for a long time now was finally on the cheap rack! Score!
Even though we didn't do anything out-of-the-ordinary to celebrate the special day of love, it was still great to spend time with Tyler and just remember why I love him so much, and to try and do special little things for him throughout the day to show him.

Happy Valentine's Day!
I just wanted to tell a quick story. It doesn't really have anything to do with Valentine's Day (that will be tomorrow's post...) but, it is a funny story, and it happened because of our Valentine's preparations. So... here we go.
Last night, Tyler and I went to the store. Walmart, to be more specific. You see, we were in desperate need of some groceries, as we hadn't been grocery shopping in at least two weeks. That's just how life goes in the Landgren house... We wait as long as possible to spend our own money. Anyway, back to the story. We had just finished our shopping, and we got up to the cash register, and Tyler went to pull his wallet out, and oops, it was at home. Crap. The cashier was a really nice lady though, and let us put our groceries back into our cart so that Tyler could run home and grab his wallet. We probably would've just left and gone back today to shop, except today is Valentine's day, and we needed those groceries for today's dinner. We also managed to find the last $10 Sherlock Holmes DVD, which is our super romantic present, AND I also managed to find the last red velvet cake mix. It is for cookies though, not cake. I promise I'll take picture of everything...if you even care. Oh yeah, so Tyler left to come home, and I felt like a real idiot, just hanging out in Wally World. I sure hope I didn't end up on peopleofwalmart.com today... I better go check... okay good, I'm not there. But, I was just hanging out for a good 20 minutes. Yep, my life rocks. BUT, Tyler made it back and we were able to get our groceries.

...and they lived happily ever after,
The End!
P.S. Sorry for the super awkward long paragraph, I just don't know how to separate it into smaller paragraphs without having to rewrite half of it... Now you know what my thoughts sound like. Enjoy!
Happy Valentine's Day!

Love/Hate Relationship!
I sure do have a love/hate relationship with blogging. Here's the thing -- I LOVE reading other people's blogs, but I HATE updating mine. It's not that I don't like telling everybody what we've been up to, but sometimes we really just haven't been doing much, at least nothing out of the ordinary. I always feel super guilty when I'm reading all of these other cute blogs, and then I realize that it's been two, three, or maybe even four weeks since I've updated this one.
Here's another thing! Tyler and I are not very avid picture-takers. This adds to the love/hate relationship. I feel like if I have an entire blog without pictures, it isn't going to be read. Perhaps because there would simple be too many words, or because the pictures are sometimes the more exciting part of the blog. They really add to the stories that I tell.
Now that I've rambled on about this love/hate relationship, I actually do have some things to talk about!! You all thought that the blog title was in reference to Tyler and me. Not true. As I recall, a few weeks ago (better yet, on Valentine's Day) I promised that I would update soon and tell you about the day's festivities. When I said "soon" what I was thinking was later that week, probably by Friday. What actually happened was that by Friday I just didn't want to update, since we don't have any pictures documenting the day. Weird, I know.
So, here's what happened:
Started the day off, it was just a typical Monday morning. Tyler had to go to class at 9:30 and then we both had class at 10:30. After class we did what we usually do, go sit down somewhere in the TSC and eat lunch. This is where the day got special: Tyler bought be a coke and one of those big Laffy Taffy's, and I got him a mini York peppermint patty. We're big spenders! Tyler went to work at 12:00, and I went to work at 1:30. When I got off work at 5:00 we went to dinner to Chili's! It's a good thing we got there when we did, because it got pretty busy about 20 minutes after we got there. After dinner we just went home. At 7:00 we watched The Bachelor. It's the dumbest show, but I love it! I'm so lucky to have a husband that loves me enough to not only let me watch the show on Valentine's Day, but to actually watch it with me too! I'm pretty sure after The Bachelor was over, we watched an episode of Grey's Anatomy and then headed off to bed! We decided that we didn't want to do gifts this year, and it was quite a relief. :)
Since Valentine's Day we have been very busy just with the same things, school, work, volunteering, etc. Life just never really slows down! Tyler and I both have two tests this week. His are both on Wednesday and mine are both on Thursday. To add to the craziness of this week, we are going to see The 5 Browns tonight for one of our classes! It should be fun! I hope I have a little bit of time to update the blog soon to tell you all about it!

It's been a while...
Happy Valentine's Day!!
I'm SO excited to be able to spend Valentine's Day with Tyler today, it's just too bad that we have to go to school and work before we can really celebrate.
This last weekend was amazing, we were actually able to stay in Logan and RELAX. It was so wonderful ... after we went to a not so fun and not very well done performance for one of our classes. On Saturday we went grocery shopping, made cupcakes, and had a Grey's Anatomy marathon! This marathon actually continued on Sunday after church too. We sound like the laziest people ever, but it was a much-needed break. Neither of us were feeling real great either.
For Christmas we got our parents (both sets) tickets to a Utah State basketball game! It was so fun to have our parents come up to Logan and spend time with us. Not to mention it was only the second game of the season that we were able to make it to. The Spectrum is really a fun atmosphere for basketball, the students are crazy! This is the exact reason that Utah State's Spectrum has the best home court advantage in the West! We really do appreciate all that our parents do for us, and we love spending time with them!
We haven't been able to take many pictures lately, we tend to forget the camera when we are going places that would be picture-worthy, or else we just flat-out forget to take the pictures. We're going to try to get better. Just hang on -- we're trying to get better! I promise I will post some pictures soon, just let me take some first!
Look for a post soon to find out how we celebrated our Valentine's Day!
