Valentine's Day and more...

Well, considering this is our first Valentine's Day being married, I thought it deserved some attention. We celebrated on Friday because Chris worked on the actual day. After I got home from work on Friday, Chris and I drove up to Incline Village and had a lovely dinner at Big Water Grille... the same place we had our rehearsal dinner! It was delicious, especially because it included those yummy salmon-crab cakes with lobster sauce....MMMMMMMMMMMM!!! We also got an apple salad (also featured at the rehearsal dinner), wild mushroom penne pasta, and some type of fish (similar to halibut, but I can't remember the name) on a bed of risotto with a lemon sauce. We bypassed dessert, though, as we were both stuffed to the brim! That's about it. It was pretty low key. We decided to avoid anything too extravagant because we are trying to save our money for what will be closing costs on our new house. Chris did buy me some flowers, though. Love him!

Later that evening Jared, Mel, the girls and Nanny came for a visit! On Saturday, we all went up to the snow for a day of sledding and fun. Following the snow, was the regular trip to Ghengis Grill (Jared's fave!). And on Sunday with Chris at work, they all filled my Valentine void :) We were happy to have them here; it's always a good time! Oh, and CONGRATS to Jared and Mel on the upcoming edition (now that the news is official)! We're excited for a new niece or nephew!

On a side note, our builders FINALLY broke ground on the beginnings of what will be our new home! We're excited to start seeing some progress; it makes it more real. We'll keep you posted on the progress.

XOXO
