"Oh...the burning fires of love"

Valentine's Day was something else. Who's surprised. I mean honestly, put Matt in charge of anything and every detail is going to be way over the top, more than you expect, and unbelievably wonderful. I woke up to breakfast in bed which consisted of pineapple upside down pancakes with creme anglaise, cherry lemon pancakes with whipped cream and a blueberry compote, bacon, tator tots, and fresh squeezed orange juice. When I say fresh squeezed I mean he was in our kitchen with our juicer and some oranges taking care of business. Needless to say it was incredibly tasty and thoughtful.

That night we went to Gumbo's for a lovely dinner, came home to a romantic foreign film that he had read all the reviews on to be sure was exceptional, chocolate truffles with flavors like pommegranite and salted caramel, love songs playing on pandora... I mean is this guy for real? I think he should coach guys on how to win ladies. who's with me?

Other delightful happenings this month include two family visits. My mom came out from UT to play the piano at a fundraiser we had for Denver Health. of course she was fabulous. and Ryan came out last weekend to interview for a pharmacy residency in Fort Collins. Good times were had by all. I can't believe how quickly 2011 is happening - but things seem to be going okay... such is the battle.
