Valentines Day :)

Happy Wednesday! I hope y'all are enjoying your week... it's half over! Mitch and I have enjoyed these past couple of days. He was off Monday and Tuesday, but he is back at work today.

Monday, was of course Valentines day! I know it isn't a big holiday, but I have always loved Valentines Day! I couldn't believe this was our 5th Valentines day together.. time has flown by!!
Since Mitch was off, I was excited to get to spend the day with him. This will probably be our last Valentines day that we both have the day off, so we took advantage of it!  I wasn't expecting much, but Mitch knows how I love Valentines and always somehow surprises me. That morning I had to go to Fayetteville and take some tests for the job I  have been interviewing for. So when I got back, we had some lunch and I wanted to make a dessert for us to have after dinner.

Mitch wanted to help, so we made a peanut butter pie. We got the recipe from our friend Jenna's Blog. Thank you for sharing.. it is our new favorite dessert and it is super easy!! We always enjoy cooking together, so it was the perfect way to start out our Valentines Day.

This is a picture of the final product.. we couldn't wait to try it, so we put it in the freezer and yes we did have a piece before we went to dinner ha!

After we made our pie, Mitch wanted to exchange presents. I kept saying lets wait until we go to dinner, but he insisted we do it then. So I gave him his, or what I had of his...ha! I got him a Clay Matthew's Jersey.. it is his favorite Green Bay player, but I wanted to wait and order it after they won the super bowl, so I could get the super bowl jersey. I ordered it last monday, and of course it still wasn't here. But I told him what it was and he is pretty excited! So since it wasn't here for me to give him, I bought him a season of Modern Family and of course lots of candy!

He then brought out some little things and candy for me and said the rest of my present is something we are going to go do. I had no idea what he was planning, but never put this kind of stuff past Mitch, he is so good at surprising me.
He took me to the mall and told me we were going shopping. Most people would think this isn't very sentimental or unique, but if you know me.. I loved this!! We normally don't do stuff like this, and I defiantly wasn't expecting it. He told me I could go get some new stuff for our date tonight! It was like my dream date! We spend the afternoon at the mall and we both had a lot of fun!! I ended up getting some new clothes, earrings, a new pair of heels, and the coach wristlet I had been wanting!

When we got home, he had red roses delivered to our house along with a box of chocolates!  He always plans a wonderful Valentines, and finds new ways to make it special and memorable, even thought he does way too much. He didn't have to do any of this, I was just excited he got the day off and I was going to get to spend the day with him.

For dinner, he had made reservations at a place in Fayetteville.. and once again it was a surprise to me. I had no idea where we were going until we got there. He ended up taking me to a restaurant called Savor.

We go to Fayetteville a lot and I always see it and it is always packed! And now I know why.. It was delicious! It was such a cool atmosphere inside.. and it was all decorated for Valentines Day.

It was an Italian restaurant and everything looked so good. We decided to get an appetizer and we chose calamari and shrimp.. it was a good choice! They had pastas and steak, but we both went with the pasta. Mitch got veal ravioli and I got crab and lobster ravioli. It was by far the best pasta I have ever had!! And it looked really cool too... ha!

We skipped out on dessert, since we had pie at home! But they did bring us some chocolate and a long stem red rose for me! It was the perfect Valentines day!

Yesterday, we were very productive! We had to go get the new Arkansas license plate for my car. I have only lived here 8 months, and have already had two AR plates.. ha! That took about 3 hours! The dmv is a place I always avoid going, but we knew it had to be done!
I was also called back for a 4th interview! I have never been through such an interview process. It has been a lot of work, and I just hope it pays off! Thank you all for the prayers.. I know God is in control, and if it is his plan for me, it will work out.

Have a good rest of the week!
