We had a wonderful Valentine's Day, made all the more special by Joern, who can be incredibly romantic :)
Our original plans were to have a quiet dinner at home, and work on our "Us Book," which was Joern's Valentine's gift last year. As we drove to work Thursday morning, Joern said, "What time is your movie (National Treasure: Book of Secrets) playing tonight?" I could not believe it! I really wanted to see the movie, and it has been playing in English for 3 weeks now, and I knew that it would not be playing much longer. And, Joern never wants to do anything after work. This was so exciting!! So, we decided to go see the movie right after work, at the Corso, which is the original version movie theater here. The best part was that we were the only people in the theater, so we had a private screening of the movie! It was so enjoyable to see Washington D.C, and we could even talk about it during the movie :)
We didn't realize that it would be so long though, the movie got out at 7:00, so we didn't get home until 8:00. When we got home, Joern gave me beautiful flowers, a heart pillow, and a heart Berliner (jelly donught.)

I made dinner. This was the first year I had not planned ahead very well, and we didn't have Filet Mignon. Instead we had a salad, steak and shallots with a red wine sauce, wild mushroom risotto, and panna cotta for desert. It was so yummy!

And, while we ate, we discussed plans for our Valentine's gift to each other- a weekend in Paris! We still haven't set a definite date, because I am waiting for my passport, and we might go away the week before Easter, but we will spend a romantic weekend in Paris in the not-too-distant future.
I love love!
