Be My Valentine

We had a wonderful Valentine's Day!

We enjoyed the cards and candy from family.

Thank you so much for thinking of us!

Eric sent me beautiful flowers.

Eric planned the evening

and kept it a secret.

All I knew was that I got to

get dressed up (which I love).

We were about to leave the house

and I was putting on my earrings

when Eric came in the room

and said,

"Are you sure you want to wear those?"

I was surprised at this statement

because he usually doesn't have

an opinion about my earrings.

Before I could get out a

"really???..."

he said, 

"I thought you might want some new ones."

Then, all suave like, he pulled a box

out of his jacket with beautiful

white gold earrings.

This sneakiness reminded me so much of

the day we got engaged.

I had no idea it was coming,

and he said,

"I think these pictures are missing something,

maybe you should wear this..."

as he pulled out an engagement ring.

I love his surprises.

My new white gold earrings!

Holding up my flowers and wearing my earrings - all ready to go eat!

I'm not sure why this picture turned out blurry.  It's still cute though...

Eric took me to Zucca Trattoria for dinner.

It's a great Italian restaurant that I've been 

wanting to try out.  It's pretty close to our house.

We enjoyed our chicken and pasta

and then came home to catch up on our DVR'd shows

while using our Cuisinart Fondue Pot

(that my Mimi and Pa got us as

a wedding gift) to make chocolate

for dipping strawberries!

So we watched Dirty Jobs

and the season premiere of Top Shot. 

My mom got us some word art to go above our bed - we love it!

I got Eric a robe for Valentines Day.  I've had one
and he has been wanting one.  So now we both
have robes to hang on our hooks.

It was a wonderful Valentine's Day.

I'm so very blessed with the most incredible husband.
