Happy Valentine's Day!

Remember how Patrick and I mentioned at the end of October that for our 5 year anniversary we were going to go somewhere fancy for dinner because we never had yet? Well, that never happened, so we thought we'd do it this Valentine's Day, and guess what- it still hasn't happened! haha!

We originally had reservations for a nice restaurant, but because of the fixed four course menu it was using today, we decided to cancel and opt for something cheaper but still romantic by having a tasty dinner at home on the floor in front of our first experimental fire in our fireplace. I decided to surprise Patrick with the firewood by dragging in a bunch of mangled branches fallen in our yard after the ice storm we had earlier this week. I was proud of myself, but it kinda shocked him when he got home and opened the office door. :)


After our lovely Chinese Barbecue Chicken Lettuce Wraps served by candlelight in front of a warm crackling fire, Patrick picked up the platter and dishes and took them to the kitchen, and when he came back and sat on the floor he brought something else back with him- a ring! And as you can assume, I said yes. :) So check out the picture of the gorgeous ring Patrick had made for me- a blue sapphire bordered by 2 white sapphires and set in white gold.


I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day, but to tell the truth, I am not so sure yours will top ours. All the same, lots of love to you all!
