Balloons and chocolates and food, oh my!

Happy Valentine's day everyone!

Unfortunately, Alex works the majority of the day....but we already celebrated our Valentine's day! So here's a little re-cap:

I recently read the book The Five Love Languages and I realized that Alex's love languages are Gifts and Acts of Service. So I thought I would combine the two and make him a delicious home-made dinner! He chose chicken pasta primavera...and I have to admit I did a pretty awesome job. Here's some proof.


First I cooked the chicken


While that was cooking, I got the rest of my ingredients together


Added the veggies while my pasta was cooking


Enjoyed a nice glass of wine out of my queen wine glass ;)

AND VOILA! A super-mega-yummy-dinner!


Next up was Alex's turn!

First off...what girl doesn't swoon when they get this text message


That would be the number of days until our wedding :D

Okay so later in the day Alex was suppose to work all night, but instead he texted me and told me to be ready in 45 minutes. He showed up with the BIGGEST balloon I've ever seen, and a box of chocolate kisses.


Alex doing his sorority pose...what a goon.


Seriously 


SO


BIG!

To finish the night off right, we went for dessert at the Melting Pot. We chose the Snicker-doodle option which was chocolate, butterscotch, and then a shot of Bailey's mixed in. It was heavenly!

I also feel like Valentine's day isn't just about your significant other...but for everyone you love. Therefore I stopped by one of my favorite coffee shops in GR (Madcap) and got myself a delicious almond milk cappuccino, and I delivered a scrumptious mocha to Laura at work! 



Thanks Madcap!


That's all for now! Laura and her Valentine are celebrating tonight so look for her update soon!

xoxo, K
