This week started out extremely stressful for me, since I took the PRAXIS on Wednesday. Jake gave me several priesthood blessings leading up to the exam, and I had a lot of people praying for me, which I could really feel starting Tuesday night. I know it was because of the blessing Jake gave me and all the prayers from friends and family that I was able to sleep soundly that night, and wake up feeling ready to kick that exam's butt! I won't know my score for about two weeks, but I'm just so relieved to have it over with. Even if I didn't pass and I have to retake the exam, at least I know what to expect and I'll feel more prepared.
The day after my exam, I officially signed up to do something that I've been planning on since last December: I'm a Younique presenter! If you think you haven't heard of Younique, you're probably wrong: they're the company that has that AMAZING mascara that everyone is always raving about. I'm super excited for this new adventure and can't wait to share the products with everyone!
For Valentine's Day, Jake and I celebrated Saturday evening and a little on actual Valentine's Day. Saturday Jake came home early from work and surprised me with flowers, fresh strawberries, and sparkling cider. I wasn't expecting anything since earlier in the week I had bought myself a new purse and told Jake that it would be my present, so I was definitely shocked when he walked in the house with all those goodies for me! I'm pretty spoiled. That evening we went to the cheap movie theater in town and finally saw Mockingjay Part 2! It was fun to see a movie and eat popcorn, and we had a great time.
Sunday morning I surprised Jake with his Valentine's Day gift: a Flash t-shirt! When I had bought myself my new purse, I found a coupon that was the exact amount I needed to buy Jake's shirt. So I got a discount on my purse, and used the rest of the money to buy the shirt! He never saw it coming, it was probably the greatest surprise I have ever managed to spring on him haha! He was thrilled when he opened his present, since the Flash is one of his favorite superheroes, and the shirt fit him like a glove.
We got ready for church, and then went to a regional stake conference for all the married students in Rexburg. It was hosted by Elder Ronald A. Rasband, one of the newest of the apostles. It was so awesome to hear from a church leader and to feel the spirit! We came home from conference and finished putting together our yummy Valentine's Day dinner: crockpot tortellini soup and rolls. For dessert I made Jake's favorite, Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie, and we had some vanilla ice cream with it. Jake was way happier than he should have been about a silly pie haha, but I was glad to make him smile!
