valentine's day recap


since valentine's day was exactly a week ago, i figured now's as good a time as any to recap this years v-day on the blog!  also.... happy 2018!  i can't believe i haven't posted since halloween!  i've been having major computer problems and was unable to download any new pictures on my old mac due to memory issues.  anyways... two failed ssd replacement drives and one new macbook pro later... i'm back in business!  so, expect to be inundated with multiple blog posts :)

we celebrated a little early with a fancy dinner at captial grille in north hills.  i don't really like to post about things like anniversaries or hallmark holidays because it can feel so boastful or obligatory.  buuuuttt we got really dressed up and went a little out of element for valentine's day this year (and by element i mean, we usually make dinner at home and avoid dinner crowds at all costs), so it felt nice to do something a little different.  that being said, here's a few pics from our evening:

the table was decorated so cute.  who can resist heart confetti?

there was steak, and some chicken... but the star of the show was the lobster mac and cheese!!  yum!

we fancy.

we ended our dinner with a night capper at the bar.  if you've never had a mojito with champagne in place of club soda, you are not living your best life (no offense).

"um, scuse me... why didn't you guys take me with you to the capital grille?" -louie
back at home with my other valentine :)

on actual valentine's day, husband surprised me with a half dozen pink and white long stemmed roses...

... and i surprised him with a heart shaped mexican pizza!

finally, in my opinion... it's not valentine's day if dessert is not involved.  so here's a cute cupcake we shared (and by shared i mean, i ate the entire thing by myself.  ha!)

i hope you all had a wonderful valentine's day, as well!
