Heart Shape in Illustrator

I learned how to use Illustrator to creat a simple hard shape. It was confusing as to figuring out how the tools work. But with help I was able to understand it's basic functions.

Steps I took were   1. Create two circles using the eclipse shape tool (L)
                               2. Create three lines that represent an upside-down triangle for the  bottom heart
                               3. Then we use Window > Pathfinder. Select shape and choose divide
                               4. Last step we use Window > Pathfinder. Select shape and choose merge
                               5. Now the outline of the shaoe should be highlighted, ready to be filled with colour.
