Valentine's Day 2012

Zack and I have always been silly about Valentine's Day, starting back with our first V Day back in 2006. I was a junior in college, and Zack was working at Starbucks and traveling with his band 56 Henry. We were super poor, so thus began the tradition of silly gifts, homemade cards, and cooking dinner together.

We had a great plan this year to make a Brazilian-style dinner (Brazilian chorizo empanadas, rum drinks for desserts, etc.) I had a big shoot on Tuesday, and Zack is transitioning between his new and old jobs...we were exhausted. So...we ordered pizza. But it was great, and just what we were wanting on a cold weeknight. And we watched the King's Speech, which was incredibly brilliant.

Zack was so sweet and thoughtful, as per usual. He got me Flogging Molly Living at the Greek Theatre on DVD and made me a cheesecake (adorable!), sent me some gorgeous flowers from our friend Studio Flower, and apparently I have something coming in the mail. I got him a 6-pack of beers from around the world, because quite frankly, international and thoughtfully-brewed beers are the way to my husband's heart. The rest of his gift was dinner, but...

Brazilian night is on hold for this weekend or early next week sometime :)

Domino's. Extra cheese, light sauce. That's how we roll. 



The cheesecake Z whipped up for me. I love that he made it extra Valentine-y by taking the chocolate syrup bottle to it. That's a "ZM" in the middle there. Precious, no?


Ruby being sweet for once :)

My gorgeous arrangement from Studio Flower! Delivered to my photo shoot :)

I texted this pic to him and asked him to be my Valentine. Thank goodness he said yes!
