On my birthday, Aaron brought me these beautiful roses. Had I known, I'd have looked prettier.
I find taking close-up pictures of my flowers preserves the beauty more than trying to dry them.
The following night, Aaron and I wined and dined at the Olive Garden. Here he is perusing the menu.
Mmm, lasagna. I ate it happily.
Black-tie mousse cake is my FAVORITE dessert ever. I will not share it. Get your own.
Oh God ... it's so delicious.
Before dessert, I was humiliated when Aaron insisted that the waitresses sing to me.
I love him.
We love Schnauzer puppies. This is our favorite, Cracker.
After nearly a week of birthday fun, I gave Aaron my heart for Valentine's Day.
He gave me his heart, too. It's funny how the hearts we gave each other are proportional to us.
A lovely vase of red roses arrived in the afternoon.
And we added them to the love shrine.
