Valentine's Day (2/18/06)

Recently, Brad and I celebrated our first Valentine's Day as husband and wife. It was also the 2 year anniversary of our engagement. To celebrate this special day, we recreated the night we were engaged, so to speak. We both dressed up nicely and went to eat at Olive Garden (my favorite!). Just as we were walking up to the hostess, a nice man behind us asked if we wanted his spot. Apparantly, he was tired of waiting for a table (the wait was almost 2 hours), so he decided to leave. We felt a little guilty accepting his beeper, but decided to anyway. We told the hostess, who put our names in his place, and we were seated in about 10 minutes. The salad, breadsticks, and appetizer were awesome, and the main dishes were delicious! As we were leaving, some people dressed up as Uncle Sam and the Statue of Liberty, from Liberty Tax Service, gave us a balloon and a red carnation. It was crazy! We felt like people just kept giving us stuff! After this, we went back to the bench on the Quad at MC where he proposed. We sat there for a while and talked. It was much warmer and dryer than the last time we were there. We also took a few pictures, which I've posted below. Finally, we came back to our apartment and watched a movie called 84 Charing Cross Road. It was really sweet. This was the 2nd best Valentine's Day ever!
