My Valentine’s Day was going along swimmingly until I walked into my home and it was smokey.
I was in such a good mood that I didn’t immediately think HOLY CRAP HOUSE IS BURNING DOWN and instead, thought that Scott was making me a cake, and it wasn’t going so well. I guess burning cakes is my department because the smoke was a fog machine.
Scott made me a dance party for Valentine’s Day because dancing is my favorite thing on Earth, and we haven’t been able to go in so long. It turns out those clubs don’t open until after my bedtime.

I put the video together quickly, but it gives you an idea of the coolness that was our sunroom for a few hours: a smoke machine, lights and a 90s music mix.
Pretty amazing.
I can’t wait to be into Saint Patrick’s Day this year. Maybe I’ll get a hot air balloon. I’ve never gotten to do that!

Like this is a total Valentine win.
And that song will be in my head all friggen night
So thanks for that.
I would apologize but I’m too busy getting my groove on.
That. Is. Awesome. Seriously beats out fancy jewelry or presents. Because he knows you.
That’s exactly what made it awesome. I felt SEEN.
You have such an amazing family. Thank you for sharing them with me today.
Yup, your husband is pretty darn awesome. :) :) :)
Thank you for bringing back all the old high school songs, too. I can’t help but dance!
This may very well be the coolest Valentine’s Day present of all time. So thoughtful…and fun!
Cutest present in the history of ever.
I am so jealous of you smoke machine! Just think of all the things your future holds now: you will OWN Halloween now, awesome hide-n-seek fun, tricks you can play on your neighbors – “Your house is on fire!”, and I can just see the family theatre productions you all can have from now on. FUN!
Scott did an excellent job! You should send him out to tutor other husbands!
Love it!
Club Iwashyna!! That is awesome! I love it!
Hooboy. You have a one of a kind husband. Hot air balloon ride would be fun but I’d figure this dance party oughta be good for credit with Scott for several months…
You’re so right — he’s pretty special and the present should last for a while. Until Mother’s Day.
Now THAT’S love.
Seriously.
That. Is. Awesome.
I’m now going to whine to my husband about my lack of smoke machine. LOL
Not JUST a smoke machine.
Also the Spice Girls.
Win. Win.
Yeah, pretty much the best V-Day present ever.
You have some seriously awesome dance moves, Alex.
How fun!!!
I like your style. You can never go wrong with Spice Girls.
That is so freaking awesome!
That is fantastic! What a guy!
That sounds much more fun than burned cake. Way to go Scott!
Oh so thaaaat’s why everyone hates your husband – jealous!
But you’re pretty awesome so it’s only natural you would marry and awesome guy.
