Valentines was a very, very good day this year. We did a date over the weekend since Valentines was on Monday and between work and school, Seth would not be home till around 7:30-8. However much to my SURPRISE I woke up to a text saying "Good Morning and happy Valentines Day. Sorry I can't be there with you but I have a game for you to play... go do a load of laundry"

From there an AWSOME, emotional, thoughtful, funny and endearing scavenger hunt unfolded throughout the whole day. I have a good man! He rarely does things like this that require a lot of 'planning ahead' so this meant the world to me. There was clues through texts, emails and our blog (as you can see he hacked in on V-day:) leading me to another thing at the right time throughout the day. Everyone has sweet message and a funny way to figure out the clues. The whole time I couldn't get over how much time and planning this must have took him. Again I have such a good man.

My favorite one was the letter and song he left on his ipod for me: Ben Folds, Luckiest. To say the very least... there was tears! So thoughtful, so cute! I love him.

Yes, I am one of those believers that Valentines Day is a bit corny. Flowers and chocolates on a certain day because it's the trend doesn't really scream genuine to me. However it's fun to let go and enjoy the day too....

Thank you {CB} for making my day special:) I love you more than you know.

Every year with maybe a few exceptions I make a nice dinner for him on Valentines day... this year I decided to do it picnic style.... Cheesey, yes? but once again sometime you just have to embrace the day:)



This years Menu: Broiled Sweet'n'Spicy Salmon with Pineapple along with Cilantro Rice.

it. was. heaven.

& then for dessert I made Raspberry-lemon Whoopie Pie's... Holy Moly!  They were so, SO, so good. We ate them too fast to get a picture:( so here's the one from the recipe.
