My mother and I began planning for Valentine's Day back in January when we found out her club was doing a romantic four course dinner. This is my most favorite place to eat in the world so of course I told her to get us a table! Linc and I don't normally do anything for V-day so to spend it with my parents was not so out of the ordinary. We met them for drinks at the club where we were presented with a beautiful red rose and found out that our table was ready early. The dining room was all decked out- red napkins, candles everywhere, beautiful flowers, and the best part of all...a harpist! She was playing the
most amazing music while we enjoyed our dinner and company. The first course was my favorite, a cup of lobster bisque soup complete with heart shaped biscuit on top! Following the first course was a very colorful hearts of palm salad with mango dressing. I wasn't a huge fan but ate every bite of mango there was! We had a short break to enjoy our wine and champagne and then our waitress brought out the main dish- Filet Mignon and crab cakes. There were two delicious sauces that met in the middle, a few asparagus, and a side of mashed potatoes. It was the 
perfect blend of tastes and I ate every bite (except for the potatoes of course...). After ordering another bottle of champagne we ate our dessert of mini chocolate molten cakes with a side of raspberry coulis and hazelnut ice cream. What a treat! Even though it was a prix fixe menu we were able to choose ahead of time and what I was imagining couldn't hold a candle to what we actually got. We had so much fun reminiscing with my parents and updating them about jobs and what has been going on around home lately. I would say this is the best perk of living so close to them and I 
really enjoy all the time we are able to spend together! We parted ways after a few photos and Linc and I headed home to go to bed! I finally put on the new flannel sheets we got from The Company Store about a month ago with our cute monogrammed pillows. While the night wasn't romantic per se, it was so much fun and exactly what we wanted. The best part of all was waking up to a handmade card from my thoughtful and loving husband. I hope you all had as much fun as we did and spent time with the ones you love! Happy Valentine's Day 2009! xoxoPS- Don't forget to check out the new header I made for my
