Valentine's Day

 

Ben and I decided to celebrate Valentine's Day on the 13th since we were going to the Blue Jackets game with my parents on the 14th.  We went to lunch at Sakura Japanese Steakhouse, which is located on Stelzer Road near Easton Mall and it was amazing. 


We've come to the conclusion that going to a place like Japanese Steakhouse is best during lunchtime because the wait for a table is much shorter, you pay at least $5 less per meal than you would for dinner, plus you get more for your money!  Ben and I both ordered the lunch special: New York Strip Steak and chicken, which included soup, salad, veggies, rice, soft drink, and icecream.  Our total bill was $28 for two!

After our wonderful lunch, we went over to Easton Mall and I was surprised with a stop at Build-A-Bear.  While standing in the long line of young children I felt a little out of place since I was a 23 year old woman, soon to be married, but I always wanted to get a bear from my Valentine on Valentine's Day.  After picking, stuffing, dressing, and naming my bear, Lola, she now occupies a space in our home.


We spent the rest of the evening playing cards and watching the Olympics and simply enjoying our last Valentine's Day before we become Mr. and Mrs.


On another note, it was Sydney's, our English black lab, 4th birthday yesterday!  We decided to stop at PetSmart and purchase some toys and goodies for all of the pets!  Happy Birthday to our little puppy girl!
