I want to know what love is...

This year was my very first real Valentines Day (very American thing that is slowly finding its way into countries of the former Soviet Union now but was not common while I lived there). I wasn't quite sure what to expect or what was expected from me. Everyone was giving me ideas as to what a perfect Valentines Day should consist of. My heart was pounding. What was I going to do?

I guess I was so overwhelmed by the pressure to make it perfect that I didn't do much (oops). I did make a decent Valentines Day breakfast... hope that counts...

Bryan seemed to like his heart-shaped pancakes (oi, a little while back I would laugh at anyone who'd do something like that and now look at me...)

Bryan, on the other hand, exceeded all my expectations (or whatever ideas i might have had in my head about what it would be like)... I got it all - card, chocolate, flowers...

... and a lot of undivided attention... and that's only in the morning.

After work, I came over to Bryan's house and he had a candlelight dinner set up for me...

...and we even had homemade chocolate fondue
The craziest thing we've done: we started watching Hitch and there's that scene there that has Sarah and her friend at Rice to Riches. We look at each other and...

It was wonderfully spontaneous. After Rice to Riches we walked down to Battery Park and then took a train to our respective homes.
The sweetest thing: Ephithany (a teenager from the Bronx who insists on calling us Mom & Dad) wrote Bryan a step-by-step Valentines Day instructions. so cute :)
So there's most of my Valentines Day adventures. I will post some news on my Valentine Day Party @ Palladia Rehab in a separate post.
