Happy Valentine's Day!

I am quite spoiled. Before my husband was my husband, he used to send me flowers every month. Literally, every month. This continued into our marriage for a little while, but the expense was crazy given our new mortgage and bills after we got married. Even still, he never forgets a holiday and now includes AJ in the planning!

On Friday I got a dozen roses delivered to me with the note saying "We love you. Love your big man and little man". AJ then came home with a homemade card (the best kind!). On Sunday morning I made AJ and John heart shaped homemade carrott cake with homemade cream cheese icing. I'm not the best at decorating, but I will say the cake was AMAZING and it was all gone in a matter of minutes:


I planned on taking a few to John's dad's house, but none of them made it! We spent a few hours at John's dad's house and when we came home John immediately started getting to work getting dinner together for us. I fed AJ and put him to bed then started watching a movie. I am almost embarrassed to admit that I watched StarStruck, a Disney Original. It was a teenager love story about a famous cute kid who meets a small town girl who has a sister OBSESSED with him, but she hates him. They meet on a trip to LA in a weird situation. In the end, he of course breaks her heart and then realizes how stupid he was and surprises her by showing up to a dance she didn't even want to go to and sings his way back to her heart. I admit I LOVED the movie. Classic tale, but for some reason when it happens to a teenager, the movie attracts me so much more. Maybe because sex is out of the question in those type of movies and they are so young and innocent that I can't resist! Anyway, I got to watch pretty much the whole movie while John was cheffing it up in the kitchen. Poor thing, 2.5 hours later and this is what I walked into:

Candles lit, food is hot, cold glass of my favorite wine, roses out, table set. He made me a VERY good steak (cooked perfectly how I like it, medium!), twice baked sweet potatoes, and crab and shrimp stuffed avocado. It was SO good!!! Once again, I'm spoiled!
