i have some advice.. when in a new relationship, dont go valentines day card shopping last minute. real dilemma there. ive never spent so long looking for a card for someone. there are some limitations when you are in a new relationship.. you can't get a card that says - love, i love you, or you are my forever and always.. but you also cant get a card meant for a friend.. anything saying - i wish you a special valentines day, hope your day is fabulous or happy valentines day to a good friend. stay away from that! but of course, these were the only kind of cards left when you are last minute shopping (4 hours before your boyfriend is picking you up for dinner).
initially i had full intentions of making a card.. especially after reading sam's DIY valentine's day cards.. she had some adorable ideas. i also had intentions of making some red velvet cupcakes (what can be more valentines day appropriate?!) and some cookies. soo anyways, both these ideas flopped. i had so much work to do with school this past week i just had no time..
after going to hallmark and looking around for 25 minutes, i gave up and went over to carlton cards.. spent another 10 minutes there until i finally found an acceptable one.. yay! then i decided to get him some chocolates.. who doesn't like chocolate!
walkers chocolate is amazing
he agrees - i definitely got a text from him after he dropped me off saying
"this chocolate is so good" :)
i knew terry was taking me out for dinner and i needed to dress up but he refused to tell me where he was taking me. i settled on wearing a simple black dress, some patent heels and my hair half up.. i know.. i lacked red but i dont own a red dress..
he ended up taking me to a bistro/wine bar which was absolutely amazing.. valentines day fixed price menu consisting of appetizers, main dish and dessert.. mmm chocolate cake.. perfect! i loved it!
