Valentines Day





So this Valentines day was one of my best so far! We have had some really good things come our way and feel truly grateful. Fist Jared got a new job!! we are very excited for this blessing:) He is working for a company called Bard Access, he is liking it so far and is excited for what may come. Jared made it so that his last day was the Thursday before Valentines day so we went out for lunch on Friday to celebrate or Valentine's day. We had a babysitter lined up so that we could go just the two of us, but Jared really wanted to bring Benson along with us ( i love how much he loves his kids) So Benson came on our date with us and we had a great time. On Valentines day i decided to make a fancy dinner for my family. I called my sister Treasure for some main course idea's and she suggested Lobster tail. I have never had lobster but it sounded good so that is what i made, and it was really good. I also made twice backed potatoes and steamed veggies and for dessert, Chocolate covered strawberries. I was busy all day trying to get everything done so that when Jared got home we could just eat and then relax. Well that did not happen, dinner was late getting done and so we had to rush eating because i had to take Austin to his hip hop class. But all in all it was a great day and i am so thankful for my beautiful family. They are truly the loves of my life.
