Valentines 2015

I have no pictures. Failing at that resolution so far!

We kept Valentines pretty low-key this year. It isn't a top holiday for either of us and fighting the crowds for a night of prescribed romance just isn't our cup of tea.

This year the holiday fell on the same weekend as parent/teacher conferences AND President's day. That meant we had a 4 day weekend!!! Whoopee!!

Saturday rolled around and decided to just pal around together. We went out and got Coach some fancy new running shoes. He's training for a half marathon and it was time to buy into the program. Literally, lol. The shoe shop was right down the street from a Kansas City staple- Andre's! So he got fancy running shoes and I got fancy chocolates.

We swung by Macy's to pick up a cast iron pan then headed home for our own gourmet dinner. Coach really knocked it out of the park with delightful bacon-wrapped filets cooked perfectly in the new pan. I pitched in with chedder gratin potatoes and salad :). Then we settled in with some glasses of red wine and our DVR.

Not an exciting holiday by many's standards but it was perfect for us. It's not often we both have time off to just run around time together so it's enjoyable when it happens. One of my favorite things about having found "the One" is just having a partner to ride along with me,
