breakfast on the beach
we just got back from a valentine's day breakfast on the beach. valentine's day has always been a big day for us. (i'm 25 1/2 today too!) in 2003, it was our first 'official' date. matt was on snow crew, and since we had a blizzard that night, he was a little late picking me up. i still remember that i was in a white sweater, and he was wearing a blue pinstripe shirt. we went to caribou and talked until it closed. i came home that night absolutely soaring over this cute boy i went out with.
in 2004, we went to candlewood for the weekend. woke up on valentine's day (saturday) to the most beautiful blue sky and fresh white snow. matt walked with me outside to a path of roses on the snow. i followed them down to the dock where he asked me to marry him. later that day, my parents came home with matt's parents - a surprise trip. we had a valentines dinner that night and started talking about the wedding...
in 2005, we spent valentine's day in winnipeg. i've never seen that much snow in my life! we went out to dinner at the keg restaurant, and had the best french onion soup and caesar salad of my life.
in 2006, we watched the westminster dog show in the morning while eating chocolate chip muffins. had some friends over for lunch, then went to the beach in the afternoon. we walked forever, fed the seagulls, and stopped at the starbucks on the beach for a cinnamon dulce frappacino. that night, i made chicken salad with croissants and crackers, and matt brought me lilies and godiva ice cream. we watched the olympics at night. i think it was a mixture of curling and downhill ski jumping...
and this year. on monday night, i came home from work to beautiful pink roses on the counter. last night we went out with all the pastors from our church to The Mango Tree restaurant for a delicious meal. this morning, matt packed a beach breakfast, so we put down a blanket and enjoyed the beautiful sunshine and vanilla frappacino's, mini cinnamon and brown sugar bagels, and fresh strawberries. i'm working tonight, and matt is teaching at church, so it was so fun to have a morning picnic, although the day's not over...
until 2008 - there's our valentine's day history!
