Valentine’s Day Recap!

Happy Sunday, friends! I hope everyone is having a great weekend :). I’m linking up to Marvelous In My Monday to share my marvelous V-Day date!

Here’s a quick recap of my Valentine’s Day!

Valentine's Day Date 2014

The day started with waking up around 7, getting some work done, then leaving for the gym at around 10:30. I had a great workout and finished just in time to get to my biology class (which is conveniently located just 2 minutes away by bike). After my class, I headed back to my apartment to shower, study, and relax before a fun night out! 

Kyle greeted me with a few gorgeous gifts as well! One really sweet thing about Kyle is how much effort and love he puts into picking out the perfect gifts. He customized both the pillow and glass etching for me and I love how original they are!

Though we weren’t going out to the same restaurants with our dates, I got ready with my friend, Tiana, and snagged a picture with her before leaving around 6:40 for the drive into the mountains. Isn’t she gorgeous?!

Also, I ended up going with the dusty pink lace dress for the night! I was torn between two outfits, and at the last minute chose to go with this one. I love how it draped flatteringly on my body type and how romantic it looked. Thanks for all of your input!

Since we had a reservation, we were seated immediately and dished up some warm, homemade bread. For our starters, Kyle ordered the lobster bisque and I got the house salad. My main course included mouthwatering BBQ ribs with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus, while Kyle got a juicy steak. Both were delicious! Dessert included a tasting platter with a fruit tart, dense dark chocolate brownie, and sugar cookie- all enjoyed with coffee! 

I didn’t snag too many pictures from the dinner since I wanted to concentrate on enjoying my time with Kyle, so here are the few that I took!

I had a wonderful time and am always so thankful to get to spend some special alone time with Kyle. Thanks for a great night, love! 

Hope all of you are enjoying your weekend :). 

A Love Note to Kyle

To the guy who can’t drive in the car without holding my hand…

To the guy who puts up and even loves my small quirks and corny personality…

I want to remind you that I consider every day I get to spend with you a gift, and that I cherish and love you more than I could ever possibly hope to express.

You are everything I could want in a man and I feel blessed to know you!

If you haven’t gotten the message yet, I love you with all my heart ;). 

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! Whether you already have a significant other or are still waiting for your Prince/Princess Charming, I hope you have a great day filled with chocolate, wine, and all the other fabulous things in life.
