my sweet, sweet, valentine's day dinner
first, let me just set the stage for how the day was supposed to play out.
since adam and i usually avoid going out to over-crowded and over-priced restaurants on valentine's day, we typically stay in and make a special dinner for each other.
on monday as i was walking out of the store from where i purchased a wonderful cut of rib-eye, i received a text from adam: "do we have real butter?" and i knew right then he was planning something as well. later that night we discovered we had duplicated our dinner menu, but i figured i would let adam take the lead since he purchased bacon. i'm not stupid after all!
after silvie went to bed and while i was doing something on the computer, most likely searching for marvelous ideas on pinterest (i seriously need a pintervention!), brenner approached me and asked what i thought of the button up shirt he was wearing. i thought it was for his upcoming school dance and he was seeking my approval, but this was not the case.
minutes later, adam took my hand and escorted me to dinner. the house was quiet and brenner was nowhere in sight which piqued my suspicion. minutes went by, adam cleared his throat louder than normal and brenner walked in with the cutest grin i will never forget, and said: "welcome to cheeese bren (omg i died), here are your menus."
the "grin"
the list of instructions adam gave brenner to follow
(are you just melting from this level of sweetness?)
yummy mini caprese bites
(followed by rib-eye steak & brussels sprouts roasted with bacon!)

a serendipity heart in my plate

(if you haven't melted by now you're just heartless. heart. less.)
i remember taking this picture of adam and brenner cleaning up after the most amazing dinner experience i have ever had, and thinking:
wow.
i'm beyond blessed.
and thankful.
and...loved.
