In the name of love.

I’m beginning to really like this valentines business. Last year we were in Atlanta for v-day. There were LOTS of candles & flowers involved and more importantly, A RING. Can it really ever get better than that?.... Well we can try.

After a long day apart, that involved a lot of studying and test taking, Jake surprised me with a fancy dinner in park city. We got to drive through the beautiful canyon from Provo to park city that is very “over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house we go”, ya got me?

This is off topic—but I was a little scared when I saw this picture of me with “Utah big hair.” Proof that I’ve lived here too long and I’m out of touch. Nothing like a picture of yourself to scare you back into reality.

Where were we again? Oh yes—the most charming and adorable part of Park City—I was in love! I kind of love watching Top Chef, except it makes me crave yummy gourmet food with interesting flavors. Well this was the place—perfect.  For an appetizer we ordered Kobe beef. Each one had a different sauce and came out looking fancy, you’ll just have to picture this in your head because we were too excited when it came out to stop and take a picture.

I got a caramelized pear and blue cheese salad that was soo sooo yummy. We still haven’t figured out why you have to pay more to cut your own lettuce. But I promise this salad was much more tasty than it looks in this picture.

For entrée’s Jake ordered Filet Mignon & I ordered the stuffed chicken with gnocchi. I think I could eat that gnocchi all day long if it wasn’t so dang filling! Jake loves to order dessert where ever we go. He choose the peanut butter bread budding (soo good). When I asked if I could just have a bite, he ordered me my own. [I guess he knows by now what happens when I just want one itty bitty bite ;) ] Once again, we were too excited to take a picture.

As we made our way back to the car we played with our new camera.

Both of us wanted to be the photographer and not the model---guess who won?

Some lady heard us “discussing” who would be the photographer and offered to take a picture of both of us—Lol.

Valentine’s day, it would be much appreciated if you would come back again every month.
