Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day!!





Adam and I decided to forgo gift giving this year. Since this is the off season for weddings all of our extra money has been going to setting up and getting ready for the bridal fair, so instead we decided to make our "gift" going out for a nice dinner!


Gift from Mom! Yes, she stuffed this into a box and mailed it. It was SO big! I put it on the bed...Adam was a bit scared! But I think secretly he was sad that it wasnt his.



We decided to go to our new favorite place...we actually found it by accident a few weeks back when we were debating on were to go to use our handy gift card my grandma had gotten Adam for Christmas. We were actually trying to get to Olive Garden, but pulled into the parking lot of this place to turn around and the sign said "All You Can Eat Italian Feast"...we were intrigued. We decided to check it out and compare it to Valentino's back home in Omaha. And, well, how can I put this mildly? It kicked Valentino's butt...and stomped it into the ground...about 10,000 times. Yes, it was really that good. I could go on and on about it, but I'll spare you. Needless to say, we were hooked. Sadly, the pricing is a bit on the high side, and without the gift card we wouldnt have been able to eat there, so it has to be saved for special occasions....like Valentine's Day! We were so excited! And it was just as delicious as before. My only complaint is that I get full too easily and there are so many delicious things that I dont get to eat...grr! Now I'm looking forward to my birthday, hopefully we can have it again then!

We had planned to take a trip to the Plaza with Annabelle and walk around, maybe get some coffee, but unfortunately it decided to snow. We were still planning on going, and we got Annabelle all dressed up and headed out, but we didnt make it to our car since she decided to run and play in the snow in the yard, so we just figured we'd take her to the backyard and let her run. Good thing we did, because it was bit cold!


Isn't she cute?!



She was COVERED in snow!



Finally, to top off a great Valentine's Day, Adam made me homemade chocolate lava cakes!!! It is my absolute FAVORITE dessert, and he completely made my day! They may not look the absolute prettiest, but they sure did taste AMAZING! Yes, I have a wonderful husband!


Mmmmmmm!



Such a nice Valentine's Day!

Me

I'm a newlywed with a love for the little things in life- sipping a cappuccino at a local coffee shop in the sunshine, art that seems to make no sense, the smile my husband gets sometimes when I catch him watching me, the cool breeze in the fall when the leaves are changing, my dog when she has somehow manages to wedge herself under my hand and I find myself petting her unknowingly, the smell of freshly cut grass, the sounds of the ocean, taking photos of instances you can never get back. I feel too much about things but may not always say it. I adore my mother. You'll find I take a lot of pictures. La vita รจ bella.
