2/14 One year ago...Lane and I were doing long distance, he was in Utah and I was in Cali. So I went to work all day and came home and showered and put on my pjs because I had nothing to do. My whole family was going out for the night so I just took my place on the couch. Lane told me that he was going to Rexburg for the weekend. He also told me that he didn't have much battery on his phone, and when it was reaching around 9 and 10 I was getting worried and calling him and it was going straight to his voicemail. I was getting pretty upset. A little after 10pm I got a call from my dad telling me they were at the temple and their car battery was dead and asked me to come jump it for them. (It seemed plausable because they go park at the temple on dates sometimes). So I hurried and grabbed the cables and drove really fast up to the temple (about 25min). The whole way thinking "Maybe, just maybe Lane is suprising me and he'll be there", but also turning the idea down because there was NO way. (I popped a piece of gum in my mouth--
just in case). I pulled up to the gate for the driveway and their car was parked in front of it and there was a tall man standing on his phone off to the side. I pulled up closer and my heart started
racing (still there was no way). Then the man walked over to the back door of my parents car and I got out and walked up. He turned around...and it was LANE! I had a huge confused smile on my face and my heart was still racing when he gave me a big hug and kiss, and he felt my heart going crazy. I just stared at him in such shock. Then my parents pulled out and my mom said "Bye! have fun!" Lane put a bag in my car and had me drive up through the gate and pull by the bathrooms. We got out and hugged and stuff and he pulled out the bag that had a dress in it. He told me to go put it on, and he had my mom bring some heels and a coat. So I quickly put them on (my hair was a mess, no makeup, freezing, not shaven) and we went up to the temple and started walking. We made it about a quarter of the way around and he stopped and hugged me and then got on his knee and said he was finally making it official, "Jannica, will you marry me?" ....So I of course said yes and he got up and hugged me and put the HUGE ring on my finger. I was still in shock. My eyes teared up a little...but we were just so happy!
The temple was actually closed for cleaning for 2 weeks, and Lane had set up with the temple president to come unlock the gates so we could walk around and have it happen. I couldn't believe my parents knew for a couple months and kept it a complete secret from me! I thought he was coming two weeks later...He's a little sneak.
2/14/09...When it hit 12am Lane gave me a hug and told me happy valentine's day and I went in our room and found this on our bed...
I had been wanting the orange Ralph Lauren perfume and he made it sound like he was going to get it for me, and then earlier in the week said that we had no money and asked me not to spend any. So I found this dollar tree version of the ralph lauren perfume. I thought it was pretty funny...and he was telling me how it was the one the smelled the best and actually didn't smell too bad. So we went to bed and when I woke up again on V-day, I went out and there was this on the kitchen table
It smells amazing just so you know. I have the red one from last Valentine's day. So we just spent the morning together, and watched a movie online. My parents sent us a card with Olive Garden gift cards (they're so sweet), so we made a trip to Idaho Falls (there's nothing in Rexburg) and we went to Winco and then went to lunch! They burnt our meals so our waiter came out and told us that he didn't want to bring it out and apologized for the wait and they offered us some free dessert! So we had a completely free, delicious meal!
So we came home, and we watched the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, and Dusty came over too to watch a little of it of course. I was ok with it tho, and I decorated our room for Lane's present during part of it. 
The hearts on the wall have sayings on them like candy sweethearts. and I got him kisses and some lotion and stuff...I got all "sexy" and gave him a nice candle-lit massage.
I'm not usually a fan of the ol' day but I have had two amazing Valentine's days the past two years with the man of my dreams. I love Lane!
