I was looking through my pictures when I realized I hadn't put our one Valentine's picture up. The holiday got kind of squished between church business, birthdays and sickness.
Several days after Valentine's we finally got to celebrate it. Jared and I made my favorite food, and I decorated the table. I just love decorating. Ray and Beate joined us for some homemade fettucine alfredo and chocolate mousse cake. I was the only one who had ever had alfredo sauce so I loved introducing it to them, and they loved it. Maybe it will become a Valentine's tradition.
I was going to make a special treat for Jared, but I think it will have to wait for our anniversary. Which is coming up real soon.
We spent the afternoon and evening child-free and it felt so good. Ray and Beate were kind and took care of the girls. Of course we spent so much our away time thinking about and talking about the girls. We even bought them some things. Like these sunglasses.
We just spent our freedom talking, holding hands, shopping and just doing what we wanted when we wanted. We even spontaneously decided to go swimming and had to buy swimsuits and towels. But that just make it more of an adventure. We spent the evening eating chinese in bed, watching Field of Dreams. Jared had never seen it and I have always loved it. It was such a nice anniversary, even if it was a simple one.
