2-16 Happy Valentines!

How was your Valentines Day?
On Saturday, we slept in, snacked through the morning, did yard work in the afternoon, went to Johnny Carinos for dinner, then came home and watched a movie and drank some wine. While we were waiting for our table, I reminded Ryan of my favorite Valentine of all time. It was the time he took me to the park and had a picnic dinner set out for us. The food was in warming dishes with the little burner underneath, and there were nice dishes set out.
He picked me up that evening and said he wanted to go for a walk at the park before we went to dinner. We were walking up a small hill at Research Park, and I saw this amazing picnic set out, but I didn't realize it was for us. I said "Look! Someone is going to have a Valentines picnic, how sweet!" Then as we kept walking towards it, it dawned on me that it was for us. Even more sweet. We had a fabulous dinner and watched the sky turn dark, then cuddled and whispered I love yous. It was my first Valentine date in all my life, and it is my favorite so far. But as romantic as Ryan can be, I'm sure he'll come up with something even more amazing when the time is right.
