Our Most Wonderful Valentine's Day!

Ian and I actually celebrated Valentine's Day the day before because Ian knew he had to work late on the actual day. It was the best Valentine's that we have ever had, I think. We planned our night together and agreed to stay home and do mellow gifts. Ian was in charge of dinner, of course, and I was in charge of our project - we decided to paint a picture together! So, dinner was great! Ian made
"sweet heart" steak, garlic mashed potatoes, and asparagus. We sipped champagne while listening to our wedding soundtrack and had plain strawberries for dessert (Ian gave up sugar for Lent - crazy for a pastry chef, I know, but he is doing amazing!). After dinner, we sat down and started painting this huge canvas we had gotten for the occasion. At first, it was looking good, but slowly we destroyed it. It is not a very good looking piece of art, but it was fun to do and I would do it again with him! All in all, it was a romantic, relaxing evening with my spouse and I enjoyed our time together very much!
