late night valentines.

the mister and i have been together for about 6 years now... and we have never really celebrated valentines day. one of us has always had to work.

this year was no exception. chad had to work all night bringing food and drink to all of the happy couples.

however this year, as opposed to others, we live together! so i was able to have a few valentines surprises waiting for him after his long night's work.

i made fettuccine alfredo a la the pioneer woman. chad wasn't home until around 11 so it was perfect. simple and quick, but delicious.

(i'm still working on making good on my new years resolution. last night was a start.)

after our late night dinner we sipped wine and listened to records in the little valentines fort that i built inspired by the ever amazing design sponge.

it was wonderful.

lonely hearts club.

currently: home alone on valentines day waiting for my mister to get home from work

(it could be a looooong night for him in the restaurant business.)

i've got a semi-prepared meal just waiting to be cooked.

a bottle of red waiting to be opened

and candles waiting to be lit.

so, while i wait, i'm playing around with photobooth in yet another valentines surprise that i've got waiting... the things we do when we're bored.

(hint.)

happy valentines day to you, wherever you my find yourself tonight.

i hope you know that you are loved.
