Anniversary vs. Valentine's Day

So, we are very lucky to be able to celebrate our love twice in the month of February. Once for our anniversary on the 8th, and of course for Valentine's Day, which is a week later. You should all know that before we got married, I was very concerned about the closeness of these days and told Todd that I expected to celebrate BOTH of these special occasions each on their respective dates and for no reason should they ever be combined into one celebration. I was NOT going to be ripped off! But, after a couple years of marriage, I realized it was silly to try and do something extravagant for both, and obviously our anniversary is the more important of the two, so for the last couple of years, Valentine's Day was celebrated by a simple dinner at Cafe Rio, which makes me perfectly happy. And instead Cafe Rio this year, Todd made me a really yummy dinner, and got me roses as well! As for our (5th!) anniversary, we drove to Midway during a really crazy, scary snow storm that had me literally SCREAMING at the top of my lungs "I can't see anything!"and Todd saying "Just close your eyes!" (I obviously wasn't the one driving!) We stayed for a couple days at the Zermatt—one of our favorite places ever—and had our "special" dinner at the Snake Creek Grill in Heber City, where I think everyone should go! It was a little pricey, but well worth it. The best was the Black Bottom Banana Cream Pie we had for dessert! It had an Oreo crust, a layer of chocolate ganache in the bottom, the banana cream, bananas, and yummy whipped cream with chocolate sauce. It was HEAVENLY and totally worth falling off the "no treat" wagon for! I'm very lucky to be blessed with such a sweet husband that takes me to such nice places and SPOILS ME with such fun things!
