Me and My Boo

In my opinion, our Valentine's day rocked. :)

We had such a good time. 

We always do, which is one of my favorite parts of being married to this man. 

Zachary opened all his Valentine's goodies, including "Our Little Date Box." 

He already had one of the dates planned. 

He booked a room at our favorite hotel in Qingdao and made sure they had a bathtub! 

 Halleliugh! You have no idea how hard it is some days for this bath lover living without a bathtub. 

I love how the bath tub has a window open to the room. 

Fresh flowers next to the bed.

A nice, big and comfy bed!

Laying back on 75 reasons I love him.

While at the hotel, Zachary opened his "75 Things I love about You" jar. 

I loved. loved. loved. watching his face as he read each one. 

He took each one out of the jar, read it, and placed it carefully on the bed. 

He had the sweetest grin, of a man that knows he's loved.

It made my heart melt. 

After he finished reading the 75 hearts, I thought of so many more reasons why I loved him! 

I should have made it 100 reasons or 150! 

Surely, there are not enough hearts to write the ways you love someone you are married to, best friends with, respect, care for and spend each day with!

Later, we went to a new wine bar that has opened in Qingdao. 

We love it. 

There are 8 dispensers and 32 wines to choose from.

Each dispenser has a price tag on a glass of the 4 bottles, so you can easily try lots of wine and stay on budget. 

There is a Texas flag on the ceiling of the bar, so we knew it was meant to be.

 When there is only two of you and you have a huge camera, it's hard to take pictures together! 

After wine we went to a local Italian restaurant and got a few appetizers for dinner. 

Panna cotta for dessert. 

After a few hours out, we made our way back to the hotel for more dessert & some alone time. :) 

And stayed up until 4 am watching Downton Abbey! I enjoyed watching it from the bath tub. :)
