Valentine's Day

I know Valentine's Day isn't until Sunday, but Nate decided to do our "date" Thursday night. I really wasn't expecting anything special -- he just said that he would make me a special dinner. So, I got home that day from school, went to the bedroom to do my prenatal yoga while Nate cooked dinner, and as soon as I walked out, there was this scene:


It may not look special to you, but it was to me :) The lights were dimmed, he had music playing the background, and the candles were lit. Yes, it is at our coffee table, which we rarely eat at, but it was a nice change from our kitchen table. Much more romantic :)


He had printed out each course so I could read each one while waiting. On the back of each paper was written a "discussion question" for that part of the meal. They ranged from "What did you first see in me that attracted you to me, and do you still see that in me?" to "What are you most excited about for the future for us as a couple and a family?" It was really a good time of conversation as well as eating wonderful homemade food! Anyways, this was our started course -- it was fabulous!


Our main dish -- and all homemade (yes, the cordon blue chicken was homemade!). For some reason, I couldn't get this picture and the dessert picture looking as clear as the first. Again, it was wonderful!


And our dessert, which was the perfect end to our meal.

It was a wonderful Valentine's Day meal. I have to say, I'm so very lucky to have a husband that treats me so wonderful!
