Happy Valentines Day!

I LOVE this Holiday!!!!

I don't know if its because everyone wears pink and red or because its 3 days before my birthday but I have always just loved Valentines day! Or maybe its because it brings such happiness into people's hearts- I just saw a girl walking down stark street holding a pink rose with a huge smile on her face! Its cute things like that that make this day so great! Justin and I went to our fav restaurant Portland City Grill last night to start the celebration of love! We had calamari, then J had Cesar salad and I have tomato basil soup (my new obsession) and we both had steak for dinner. We skipped desert though because we were way to full!
Its at the top of the tallest building in Portland and has great views!
And my friend Camille gave us as our wedding gift a gift card for there because she knows how much we love it!

It was a great night. Now tonight we are going to do what we've done EVERY valentines day since we first stared to date... get the heart shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's and stay in and watch a movie together.

And I am going to make a a big heart shaped brownie- picture to come later, hope it turns out well.

My fabulous husband who claims to hate romance surprised me at work today with these!

I Love you babe! It's so funny b/c Justin hates romance if its forced (like a holiday) but what he doesn't know is he is so romantic everyday. He made me breakfast in bed yesterday and now he brings me coffee to bed every morning! I'm loving that guy!
On a side note, it hit me like a ton of bricks on my way to work this morning how much I miss my dad! He always called me on valentines day and would have chocolates, a sweet card and even flowers for me. He always made me feel so special on this day even if  I had a boyfriend to do that job! I know on my birthday I'll miss him even more because he always did so much for me on my birthday too, this is going to be hard week!
