Lovers day...

I wrote Ben a self deprecating poem titled "A Not So Poemy Poem", it was very thoughtful of me as I wrote it in 6 minutes. Ben makes me a card every year, so the pressure is always on for me to NOT to give him something from the valentines isle at CVS. We went out to dinner and made dessert at home (although we ended up having dessert twice). Lately we have this enormous need to party-it up and enjoy our time together as much as we can before the baby comes. We have a vision of this baby coming and completely changing our lives, I'm pretty sure our expectations are accurate.

Here's an excerpt from the poem:

I looked hard but I couldn't find the right card for you

Everything out there is too lame for my uber rad husband,

Plan B was to make you the coolest homemade card

Sadly bewteen the pregnancy and the kidney stone...

Nothing got done, and all my plans soon turned to crap.

I'm not not good with poems, I pretty much suck at rhyming,

Sonnets are not much easier since I'm not good at counting either.

I'm not good at many things, but...

I'm good at loving you because that's pretty easy.

Dinner:


We came home and made some of these:


Ben is responsible for this mess, in his defense it was dark chocolate, his favorite.


The night was not complete without some youtube videos while snuggling in bed. Man, we are so romantic.
