Grateful for my Valentine...

Tonight, Matt and I were able to slip away to celebrate Valentine's Day. Karla was so sweet to watch Elizabeth so that Matt and I could escape for a couple of hours. We ended up going to the Olive Garden...we ate until our little bellies were burstin'. It was so yummy. We started with the Smoked Mozzarella Fonduta as our appetizer, along with pasta e fagioli. For our main course, Matt had the Chicken Parmigiana, while I had chicken fingers, toasted ravioli, and breaded mozzarella slices. If that was not enough, we ended the meal by sharing a Chocolate Gelato.

It was so nice to get away and spend the evening alone with Matt. I am so grateful for him and I really appreciated our time tonight. There are so many things that I love about Matt, that it would be hard to list them all. I don't think that there are enough words to describe how I feel about him. He is just...simply put...my perfect match.

I love that Matt and I think the same way about almost everything. I love that he is so laid back and patient. I love that we stay up late together...just to have some alone time together. I love waking up next to my bestfriend everyday. I love the father that Matt is to Elizabeth. I love that he is a hard-working. I love that he takes such good care of our family. I love how safe I feel when Matt is around. I love that Matt supports me in everything that I want to do. In the end....I just love Matt and everything that he is!

A friend of mine shared a great quote...that really spoke to my heart. It is totally how I feel about my sweetheart...

"You don't have to promise me the Moon and the Stars....just promise that you will stand underneath them with me...side by side."

Happy Valentine's Day...my Love.
