Seven Sweet Years
On Valentine’s day Matt and I celebrated seven years together. I like to say it’s the day Matt came to his senses and realized I was the girl for him! Seven years ago Matt and I shared a picnic lunch and he asked me to be his girlfriend! It was a very sweet long awaited moment. I’m thrilled to say that after seven years, a long distance relationship, marriage, a long distance marriage, several moves, and baby I am more in love that ever before.
This Valentine’s day we celebrated in a laid back fashion. I didn’t want to dress up and have a fancy dinner so we went for fun and casual. We didn’t make reservations for dinner and went where our tummies lead us. After 2 strike outs our third restaurant was a hit. We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Cantina Laredo. The Cantina is authentic Mexican cusine and simply fantastic. Our meal also came with margaritas, one pomegranate and the other a sunrise. Both margaritas were new to me but will soon become frequent fliers in my book. After dinner we had plans to meet up with some friends at a piano bar near our restaurant but once we arrived we saw that Valentine’s must be the night for dueling pianos because the place was packed! We opted for some fun and games at another bar in town and had a great time.
Dean had a special Valentine’s day treat too. His grandmother “Honey” came in to visit. They shared a smooch filled night at home while Matt and I were out.
It was so nice to have a night out with my honey. It’s always nice to spend some time reflecting on our relationship and appreciating how far we have come.

What a great night it was! One for the books. Add it to the list of V-days we have to recall each year in the car on our dates. I love you sweetie. I can’t wait for the next 7!
