Valentines Day

Ha! Ha! So, I'm a little late on getting this post up, but better late than never right? Ryan & I decided (when we first got married) that we would trade who was in charge of Valentines plans everyother year. This year was mine! My friends Candace & Heidi & myself planned a lavish five course meal with rounds of The Newly Weds Game played inbetween each course. It was sooo much fun!
Appetizer: Fried Tortelini with alfredo
Question: What meal would your husband make for you?
Ryan: green chicken enchiladas
Michelle: Sloppy joes
Soup: Tomato Basil Bisque with cheese twists
Question: What is your favorite meal that you would want your wife to make you?

Entree: bacon wrapped Steak, twice baked potatoes & asparagus
Question: How did your husband show you that he loved you?

Dessert: strawberry topped Chocolate soufflee's & Vanilla Panna Cotta with strawberries & mangos (yeah! I know & it was just as good as it sounds!)
Question: What day does your wife's birthday land on this year?
Ryan: "Tuesday I think?"
Michelle: Tuesday!
There were alot of other questions with alot of other answers (alot right & some totally WRONG!)We tied for first with Hiedi & Jared.
We exchanged some homemade V-day gifts!! I made Ryan this really cool picture cube (thanks for finding that Heidi) that had pictures of us with scrapbook-y layouts on each side & Ryan made me a book full of segments that he had written in his journal about me & us. Starting from when we started dating to our first wedding anniversary. Sooooo romantic & so sweet! We had a great one & we hope that all of you did too!!

If You Give You Will Recieve....

So, whenever there is a blood drive Ryan always donates; the Red Cross loves him! Well a few days ago we got a phone call from the American Red Cross to let Ryan know that his name was chosen for the American Red Cross Dream Vacation get-a-way. We get 6days/5nights in the San Diego Marriott on the Marina and a South West gift card. We couldn't believe it! We won....well Ryan won, which means I also win by extention so ... We won!! We are tre-mundo excited and are planning on using our trip for October when we celebrate our 5th year of blissful marriage! So next time you're asked to give something - give it - you may get something back in return!!
