Valentine's was a disaster. I had a lovely meal planned out, a lovely and romantic evening planned for my honey and me and it all went to pot. Literally.
It was the day before, Wednesday, when I started to feel really horrible. We had already had an episode of the stomach bug in our house and I was praying like mad that it wouldn't happen again. Well, mother nature had a different plan.
I got the dreaded stomach bug and was knocked off my feet. I finally started feeling like myself 5 days later.
I decided to do all the fun and cute things I planned for Valentine's, just a week later.
I had ordered a cute set of items from a girl I found blogging.
I gave Stephen 5 little notes I had written over the course of 2 weeks. Each had a different thing I loved about him written, with the last asking him to be my Valentine.
That Saturday night, I cooked a feast! With the help of my friend Amber, who sent me some delicious recipes and items from my February Carabox, we had a very romantic and fun evening.
Stephen wasn't allowed in the kitchen while I was cooking.
I made Bang Bang Shrimp, ribs, and apple crisps and ice cream for dessert.
I added candles, set the mood lighting, required him to wear a coat and I grabbed a dress.
I allowed Stephen to come in once everything was ready. Stephen brought me beautiful red roses and peanut butter Oreo (YUM).
Once we were done eating with the meal, we headed into the den for a movie and snack. We lounged on the couch, watched, chatted and had a blast.
It was definitely the evening I had hoped it would be and we had a really great date night!
Here are a couple of pictures from the evening. I forgot to take pictures of the main meal, but got some of the gifts and dessert!
