Valentines :)

The first time that I saw Sean, or registered seeing Sean, he had his back to me in a building in Clemson, and Lyndsey pointed him out to say "that's Nick's brother".  I had that feeling about him, like I knew him but wasn't sure from where (and I don't think it was from having seen Nick's picture).  A deja vu feeling if you will.  And I knew very shortly after that, maybe even before we ever talked, that I would marry him.  Obviously, I was right.  I think that that feeling is super weird.  Sean said that when we went into the apartment building that we live in for the first time, he felt that same familiar "I've been here" feeling, and knew that we would live here.  I guess that's God's way of putting a sense of familiarity about certain people/things/places to point us in the right direction.

According to Sean, the first time that he saw me was at a square dance, where we didn't talk.  After that, the first time that he remembered talking to me was with a group of people walking to CP group.  He said that I was wearing jeans and a sweatshirt that said "Clemson Equestrian", and that he took that as a means to an end and started asking me about the equestrian team in order to strike up a conversation.  He referenced that same "at home" feeling talking to me and I talked about when I first saw him.  I think that's really crazy.

So here we are 4 years later.  Anyway, we celebrated Valentine's last weekend in uptown, but I like celebrating on the day, so I decorated our apartment, and tried my hand at making surf and turf.  It was a fun deviation from our standard meals, so here's some pics.

Pretty table :) With the pretty flowers that Sean brought me.

Surf and Turf dinner

Brownie cake that was so delicious

Sean got a book and a movie, and I got tickets to Cirque du Soleil's Alegria, which comes to Charlotte at the end of July.  It's pretty far in the future, but I'm psyched.

I love Valentine's at home.
