I used to look at couples who sat on the same side of the booth and think "Wow really? You can't even sit on opposite sides of the table for one meal?" I'm totally in one of those couples now. In our defence we were sharing a meal... we ate at Boston Pizza and ordered the Pulled Pork Penne (which was just as good, if not better, than it sounds) and for dessert we got the Chocolate Explosion which was a slice of cold chocolate mousse cake with a chocolate crust and chunks of cheesecake inside. It was to die for.
Ian surprised me with some cute little treats and a GIANT teddy bear and a huge jar of olives (I'm addicted to olives).
I'll be making another post on what I gave him for Valentine's Day. It was an inexpensive little DIY (y'know, Valentine's gift on a college student's budget) but I think it was creative and thoughtful and romantic.
As you can see in the title, this Valentine's Day celebration didn't just end there. On Saturday we packed our weekend bags and went down to Niagara Falls (he wanted to play some poker, I wanted ihop, we both won). I wish I had taken more photos down there, but it was an amazing weekend. The first night we just settled into our hotel and went out for dinner at Outback Steakhouse (the chicken is in the shape of a heart so I just had to get a picture).

The little arse.) |
Ian loves Outback Steakhouse and he's been talking about it for the past 9 months we've been together so it was nice to finally get to one and have a meal there.
Sunday was a big casino day for us. First we walked to IHOP which, on an empty stomach quite early in the morning with wind blowing at 5000 mph, felt like death, we got the regular buttermilk pancakes with bacon which were soooo good and soooo filling. We visited both Casino Niagara and the Fallsview Casino. Ian registered for a poker tournament and while we were waiting for that to start we played a little Blackjack (well, Ian played and I "advised", he did really good) and then walked around the touristy shops in the resort. We picked up some fudge, I've never had fudge from a fancy place like this before. Ian got Oreo fudge, I got Canadian Maple fudge, and we got Peanut Butter Chocolate to split.
For dinner that night I forced him to go to Rainforest Cafe. He just doesn't appreciate the animatronic elephants and meteor showers every 20 minutes the way I do. He was surprised when we both really enjoyed the Pita Quesadilla that we split (I wish I had taken a picture, it looked just as good as it tasted) and after that we headed back to Casino Niagara to play some more Blackjack. We didn't do so good the second time around and there was a guy at the table we stayed at most of the night, keep in mind this is a 15$ per hand table, who threw away easily over $3000 just in that sitting. I felt bad for the dealer, we could tell it was making her uncomfortable to have to take his hundred dollar bills every few minutes and give him more chips. Meanwhile I was thinking about all of the clothes I could buy with that $3000... At the end of the night we just went back to the hotel and and watched Olympic Curling. We're both really into watching Curling (it helps that the Canadian team is badass and haven't lost a match yet. Go Canada!)
I hope you all enjoyed your Valentine's Day Celebrations and spent it with your loved one (whether that be your significant other, your best friend, your pet, or Netflix) I definitely enjoyed mine!
I recently made a little Valentine's Day Fonts post that has a bunch of free font download links, you can check that out here if you'd like!

Mmm, all of that food looks heavenly! I wish we had Reeces in the UK, I'm ever so jealous!
