This was our first Valentine's Day as a married couple. On Friday evenings our plans changed and we ended up at home. For some reason when I (Alex) want to celebrate I am always drawn to breakfast foods for dinner. I don't know why. We pulled out the chocolate peppermint waffle mix, made frozen fruit smoothies, and had fresh strawberry and pineapple. Delish. We settled in for another romantic evening watching the Olympics as Arthur snoozed in his recliner starting about 8pm after some early mornings at work.
Our activities on Saturday for this weekend of love included going to the library (we love books) as well as a trip to purchase a bike for Arthur (we love biking as well). This is Arthur's first bike since he was a kid so we are excited to hit the roads and trails once the weather warms up. Plus, if you couldn't already guess, watching more of the Olympics (we love sports).
That evening I made a special dinner for Arthur. After all the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. We had flat iron steak, baked potato with cheese and broccoli, corn bread, and fruit cups. We both dressed up to dine at our card table in the kitchen. Afterwards we danced around the kitchen to some memorable songs from our relationship. And finally, the main moment was pulling out the cherry cheese cake I made for Arthur. I then I realized I don't have a pie server so presentation left some to be desired since it ended up as a glob of cheesecake. My husband doesn't like cherries though but he requested cherry cheesecake. Being the dutiful wife I am, I separated all the cherries out of a can of cherry pie fill to use just the filling part to cover the pie. Love makes you do crazy things sometimes. Omnia Vincit Amor.
