Valentine's Weekend

Kevin and I had a great Valentine's Day, although it would be more accurate to call it a Valentine's Weekend. Friday, my parents and Grandma came down to visit me during the day. It was great to go to lunch with them, and my dad was really helpful asking questions when we had fence estimates that afternoon. They gave us a cute card and money for a dinner out, so Kevin and I went to On the Border that evening.

Saturday, I had to work until 2 (still getting used to that), but then Kevin, Julie (Kevin's aunt), and I went to see Valentine's Day. It is a great movie! We all had dinner at an amazing modern Thai restaurant (Sit at Thai Bistro), and then Kevin and I watched the Olympics before bed.

Sunday was a fabulous day! After church, Kevin and I exchanged cards. Benton and Kevin got me a beautiful orchid plant! Kevin had hid it in the guest bathroom bathtub for a day (we keep the shower curtain closed and it has an overhead window for light). Too funny!

We then immediately started cooking (with the Olympics in the background, of course) for our special Valentine's dinner. We had cherry lamb in a balsamic reduction, asparagus champagne risotto, and chocolate fondue with strawberries and homemade cheesecake for dessert! We ate it picnic style on our coffee table in front of our fireplace.


My very special furry Valentine! We had to convince Benton that the meal was only for two! :)
