happy valentine’s day, friends! this morning we started our day with pourover coffees and chocolate croissants (the perfect combo, although i’d probably say that about anything that lets me feel for a moment like i’m in paris instead of omaha). i found a new corner in our kitchen that has great natural light in the mornings, so i snapped a few photos of our breakfast along with the tulips that kevin told me i could get while we were grocery shopping last night. that conversation went something like this:

h: (pointing to flower section) “want to just get it over with now?”
k: “yeah, grab whatever you want. oh look! tulips are on sale.”

you know you’re married when.

what are your plans for valentine’s day? we decided against going out at all – too expensive, too crowded, we’re old and cranky, etc. we picked up a baguette and cheese for appetizers and some steaks and brussels sprouts for dinner, and i think we might try making these heart-shaped roasted potatoes, too. i’m going to go pick up some wine & champagne from tj’s later, as well as almond cupcakes from our wedding bakery, and we’ll just stay in for a quiet night together.

hope you all have a wonderful love-filled day with whomever you’re celebrating with! xo
