My, How Things Change!!!

I’ve said it before….and I meant it.   I kinda hate Valentine’s Day….and for good reason.  (see previous post "Stupid Cupid" )  This year, however, was the best Valentines day I’ve ever had…..ever.

Despite having to go to work for Valentines Day, it was a great day.   We decided to stay in and have a relaxing night together.  When I got home I saw my favorite flower (tulips) on the table with a card containing a precious message that melted my heart.  I found Caleb in the kitchen where he had already started dinner.  Holy cow….let me tell you about dinner.

This man can cook!  Seriously.  Here was our menu:

·         Lobster (of course with garlic butter dipping sauce)

·         Bacon Wrapped Steak filet

·         Glazed Carrots

·         Homemade macaroni & cheese

·         White Wine

Yep, really.  That was my Valentines Dinner!   Did I wish we had gone out?  Not one tiny bit.  I was proud of Caleb’s skills, thoughtfulness, and preparation for our night. 

We ate with a candle lit table, and used pliers (which can be seen in pic below) to crack the lobster.  Awww, love it.  That part just made me laugh. 

After dinner we watched TITANIC.  Don’t laugh….I wanted to watch something sappy, and this was the only one he would agree to saying that at least that one had historical value….

I’m not gonna lie, I spent a lot of the night laughing….hard.   Some of that was from the wine, some was from just being giddy, and some was due to legitimately funny stuff.  I didn’t care.  It was just fun.

For dessert, we had “fondue for two” with the fondue set his mom gave me for Christmas and the SINFULLY delicious kahlua-chocolate his mom made.  (Thank you for both, Nancy!)   We had chocolate covered strawberries and marshmallows, and totally enjoyed it. 

We have been quoting a line from TITANIC, and Caleb even wrote it on the white board, which made me laugh when I finally noticed it.  I won’t quote it here, b/c it probably wouldn’t be funny to yall.  Let me just say that I keep giggling to myself when I think of it.

So there, I was proven wrong.  Valentines Day does not ALWAYS suck…..mine was really special.

I’m pretty excited about this Caleb guy….. Who knew he was so romantic??  That engagement and then Valentines dinner was pretty WOW-ful!  Love that guy!!!
