Valentine's Date

My Mother was so kind and watched the boys for us overnight so Ben and I could go out for a "Day Before Valentine's Day" date. We went to the Gateway to go to Tucano's (love this place!). The wait was 1.5 hours because we are smart and did not make reservations. We decided to wait, they were doing a Valentine's thing where they put a red table cloth on the table and put special meats on the menu gave the girls a long steamed rose and gave us both chocolate covered strawberries. So nice! So anyway...
I am a genius and forgot about my last post about high heeled shoes. Well, with the wait being 1.5 hours meant that I had to walk around the Gateway Mall for 1.5 hours with HEELS on. Yeah, that was NOT happening. Ben was pretty tired of me saying "ouch, ouch, ouch" with every step. So we bought new shoes for both of us. We could not resist, look how cute they are (above).

My feet literally breathed out a "thank you" when I took the dumb boots off.

So Ben was SO sweet. He knew I needed some running shoes (because I've been running...go figure). So he got me some for Valentine's Day. He also thought it might not be super fun to get "running shoes" for a love holiday. So he also went to the mall and looked around forever and finally went to a girly store and had a girl help him pick stuff out for me by saying, "she likes layers and sweaters and jewelry. So he got me two shirts with layers underneath and a cute necklace that matches. Super thoughtful!
I feel super lame...
I got Ben his favorite cologne, some of his favorite body butter, and wrote him a super funny/lame poem (it was really funny, because I suck at writing poems...but it's the thought that counts right?) Like, I actually rhymed "school" with "while I drool". Yeah, I'm awesome.

Hope you all had a fabulous Valentine's Day too.

p.s. if you have not seen "Valentine's Day" the the movie yet...don't waste your money. It just was not as good as it was hyped up to be.
