Valentines Day!

"Our Valentines Day"

     

     Today was such a wonderful day! Jett and I worked at the restaurant all day yesterday and until around 3pm today so we thought it best to celebrate our Valentines day just a little bit later than most. I didn't realize how much fun having a 24/7 best friend could be! 

     Ranjan (Jett) took me to a cute little costume shop on Center Street in Provo after a wonderful Sushi Lunch. The costume shop was very large and held almost any fun dress-up idea one could imagine. After perusing through mounds of silly costumes, Jett found a hidden corner of mannequin heads displaying the most colorful wigs! 

     Of COURSE we had to try on every single one! I went from brunette to blonde, red-head to black, curls, ringlets, mohawks, everything! Ranjan was so cute in his choice of a bright red "Raggedy Andy" wig which looked really horrible but he wore it proudly. 

     Finally, after I noticed the "DO NOT PLAY WITH WIGS" sign displayed on the front of every wall and counter in that corner, I began to feel uncomfortable and slightly rebellious for breaking the rules of the store. That is when Jett learned that he married a pansy. 

     After much persuasion Jett left the Wig Corner with me and we proceeded to have an epic sword fight in the suit and armor section. Ranjan grabbed a sword and yelled out "Hector!!" (from the movie Troy) and challenged me so I had no choice but to participate. 

     To end our night of fun, we decided to go to the Quarry in Provo and try our hand at rock climbing. I have rock-climbed before, but it's been awhile and so I had to re-learn all of the knots and tricks to belay. Jett has never been much of a climber, but I loved climbing with him because he is such a good sport and willing to try anything at least once.

     How do those climbers do it?!? The professional rock dwellers who live in the Quarry and practice everyday look so graceful as they careen across the rock wall above us...but us.....well Jett kind of resembles a rhino in a china shop and I have no coordination or muscle whatsoever. I finally realize how weak I really am. 

     Poor Jett! We had to end our climbing adventures soon because the silly man discovered the hardest climb in the Quarry and thought it a good idea to show everyone else up by climbing it.....or trying to. I for one think he did an excellent job. He made it about half-way up using his upper body strength only (which I hear is not the best idea) before he lost his grib and fell a bit. I caught him of course (pay attn in belay class!) but he hurt his neck really badly. Then I laughed at him. 

(Note to self: When Jett gets hurt, I need to be more sympathetic and not laugh at him while he is in pain.)
