It took about 2 1/2 hours to get everything all set up, prepared, and cooked. I loved every minute of it (even when I burned myself)!!
Ben bought me a square of white cake with white buttercream icing from Wal-mart's bakery (what a good man...he knows how much I LOVE that combo!), not one, but TWO beautiful bouquets of flowers (he admits he got carried away and just couldn't help himself...but, hey, I'm not complaining!), and then he took me to see the movie Dear John (based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks). It was cute! I enjoyed the sweet romance between the couple. Sure, it wasn't the best movie ever, but I'm a chic that enjoyed this flick! :)
What a fun night we had to celebrate this day set aside for love. I sure do love my husband and am blessed to be married to him. I LOVE YOU, BEN!!

Your dinner looks just wonderful! Great Job. The pie looks yummy and pretty. And of course, the decor was great. I love your pillowcase idea; with the black ribbon it looked very chic. And Ben chose really nice flowers, so you two were set!!
Happy Valentines Day! It looks like you guys had an awesome evening together!!
soo cute janelle, looks awesome
How cute! I made John a Valentines dinner once, but it wasn't nearly as elegant as yours. The food looked super yummy! I wanted to eat it through the screen! Next post... maybe the recipe.... ?? :)
