First off, Ben and I both realized about a week beforehand that we were working all day and all evening on Valentine's Day. SO we decided to spread out the celebrations over three days!
The day before the official holiday, I made a bunch of heart-shaped spritz cookies, using the cookie press that I got for Christmas for the very first time!
I wrote out a (sassy) card for Ben...

...and wrapped each gift in a unique way.
We exchanged gifts that evening. Ben got me some beautiful earrings: an everyday pair and a special occasion pair as well! I got Ben a pair of shoes and made him a hand-crafted vow book with brainstorming pages and enough paper for a few drafts! I'll share some photos in a new post soon!
On Valentine's day itself, I busied myself with a few lettering projects since I had the morning off. I spruced up my coffee...
...and made the fish tank merry!
I also packaged up some of the spritz cookies for my students and fellow dancers that I would see throughout day.
After a long day of working, Ben and I were able to have a relaxed evening in. Ben surprised me with a bottle of Prosecco (plus sparkling grape juice) and our favorite pizza upon arriving. I even found the SWEETEST card he has ever written to me on my bedside table later that night!
We cozied up and watched TV together... a very low key evening indeed.
The day AFTER V-Day, we finally got to go out to eat and "officially" celebrate! We went to a restaurant in Green Hills that we had never been to before. The food was delicious, and each dish had so many complex components and unique flavors: several flavor-saturated sauces and meticulously-crafted sides. It was a great way to finish off our Valentines celebrations!
It's hard to believe that a year from now we will be celebrating as husband and wife... Continually grateful for my man, and looking forward to the summer!
