How We Celebrated Valentine's Day!

From all of the posts on Facebook and Instagram it appears that everyone had a great Valentine's Day. I saw so many pictures of roses, chocolate and sweet notes from spouses and children. We had a great Valentine's Day too and I will share all of the details with you. I did take the day off of work to watch over my two puppies who are recovering from surgery. They have been pretty calm and quiet which is a change in our house. They do not have to wear their cones of shames since they have been behaving and not licking themselves.

My other half sent me these beautiful roses for Valentine's Day which I did not expect. I told him not to buy me anything and that we would just go out to dinner but he never listens. The prices of roses on Valentine's Day are just crazy!

We went to dinner at P.F. Chang's and the food was pretty good. We had egg drop soup, Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Mongolian Beef, Crispy Honey Chicken and brown rice. The lettuce wraps are my favorite. I can eat those for a meal and be satisfied because they are so good!

The service was pretty good and the food came out quickly which was great because my son was starving. Thank goodness we had a reservation because the wait was an hour and 45 minutes if you did not have one. I don't think I would wait that long at any restaurant!

My favorite part of the dinner was dessert of course! These banana spring rolls were amazingly delicious. I should have never tried them because I am going to eat them every single time I go to P.F Chang's in the future. I don't care how many calories they have and I don't want to know either!

I was supposed to get a run in yesterday but ended up falling asleep. It was 76 degrees when I woke up so I decided to wait until this morning. I ran 6.30 miles and I am so glad that I did since I feel crappy when I get lazy and miss a run for no good reason. It was warm and windy this morning so I am hoping that the weather will not be like this on Sunday morning for race day. Hot and Hilly are not a good combination for me!

Tonight we are going out to dinner again to celebrate a friend's 40th birthday. It should be fun!

How was your Valentine's Day? Did you do anything special? 

Are you a dessert person like me?

I was planning on behaving myself tonight but then I was asked to bring cupcakes for the birthday girl so I highly doubt that I am going to!

Happy Valentines Day!

About 14 years ago I met a man who has really shown me what unconditional love is really all about!  He puts up with me when I am in less than a good mood and loves me even in spite of all my faults.

He is a great father and he always puts our needs and wants before his own.  He wants to give me everything that I want and is always concerned about my happiness.  He finds a way to like everything that I do because he wants to spend time with me. Even though he is not a runner he comes to every single one of my races and is my personal photographer.  

He even cleans the house and gets up at all hours of the night to take the dogs to the bathroom so that I don't have to get up to do it. He tells me how beautiful I am even when I know that I look horrible.  He is intelligent, multi-talented and is successful at whatever he puts his mind to.  He has an endless amount of patience which is necessary to deal me with and somewhat dysfunctional family!

Thank you Honey for loving me so much and for being such a good example to our son. Happy Valentines Day!
