Valentine's Day

Oh February... the month of "Love".

The BIG Day:

Matt and I didn't make ANY plans for Valentine's Day. It was pretty much just like every other Monday. Matt got up early and went to his morning class, so we said a quick goodbye while I was still getting ready for work. Then we didn't have lunch together because he had class, and I knew he'd be home late because he had another class after work.

So since it was the national day of Love I decided I was going to surprise him with a magnificent dinner (because let's face it, I'm the best cook ever...RIGHT!---For all those who really know me, I HAVE been learning to cook since my aunt gave me a new cookbook for Christmas and Matt has so much night school.) Anyways, so I searched through Valentine's Day recipes... and those were too hard. So I typed in the website for the Campbell's Cookbook (my new best friend) and found a simple but delicious dish to try.

Then, after reading my friend's blog (she wrote a fantastically hilarious poem for her husband), I was also inspired to write Matt a poem.

So after work, I ran to Target to buy romantical Heart shaped plates and fun V-day striped cups. I also picked up the few items I needed to be able to make my spectacular dinner and I was set.

Matt came home to this:

And this was there too when he got home:

(The poem is written on the heart. It says: "Roses are Red... Violets are blue... I'm learning how to COOK because I LOVE YOU!"--genius. I know.)

And then a few minutes later this came out of the oven:



And we totally watched ABC's "The Bachelor" while we ate it.-- So Romantical I know.

P.S. Matt was definitely amazed by my poetry writing and cooking skills.

We gave each other our gifts on Saturday. Matt bought me a watch that I LOVE! and I bought him a new belt (which he bought the exact same one on his way home from work that day... don't worry, I'm making him take his BACK!). Oh Accessories!
