Valentine's Day!



Valentines Day has always been one of my favorite holidays. Even when I didn't have a boyfriend, I always thought it was so much fun to have a holiday all about red (my very favorite color). I LOVE making valentines day treats and just doing special things for my honey. Unfortunately this year work was pretty stressful the week leading up to v-day so we didn't get to do as much as I would have liked to! BUT we did have one incredible Valentines Day! And Sammy sent me gorgeous Asiatic Lilies to my work on Thursday! Just in time for them to be in full bloom by Valentines Day! Definitely brightened up the office! (Although this picture is taken at home..not at the office):



Sam had to go help someone move that morning, so I got to sleep in! After he got home we just got to hang out all day. Which is pretty rare, just spending time together, not having to do anything in particular. We then got all dressed up "sumbada sumbada":




And we went to John Bentley's in Woodside. It was the coolest little restaurant. A nice romantic hideaway. We sat right next to the fireplace so it was very cozy! Although if you combined both mine and Sam's ages we still would have been younger then the next youngest customer there! Haha. We had a DELICIOUS dinner! Very fancy!! We were definitely glad we dressed up so much!



After John Bentley's we went to Redwood City to our favorite little dessert place there called La Tartine. They have very pretty and delicious desserts!



After La Tartine we went and saw He's Just Not That Into You. We LOVED it! We knew we were going to like it because we really like most of the actors (although Sam despises Drew Barrymore). We were laughing pretty hard. We thought it was pretty funny, because the movie is about girls always thinking they are the exception. Like a guy doesn't call, but her friend says, "Oh I had a friend and she went out on a date and the guy didn't call, but then they saw each other a few months later and then they ended up getting married". Making girls think that just because it happened to one girl TOTALLY means it is going to happen to her. Which was funny to us because we totally were the exception. When we first met, Sam definitely only thought of me as a friend. He openly didn't like me "like that". But things turned around obviously and we fell in love! Therefore we were an exception to the rule of He's Just Not That Into You. Hehe.


All in all we had a PHENOMENAL Valentine's Day! I am so grateful for my sweet husband and all that he does for me. And now I can't wait to celebrate his birthday in a week!!
