Valentine's Past

There are so many reasons why I think My Husband Rocks but recently I've been reflecting on one in particular. I have to say the most memorable Valentine's Day we've ever had was during our first year of marriage. He handed me a Valentine's card that said something like, "Tomorrow night we'll be dining at a very special place for dinner. Be sure to dress up." Then, he told me how he tried to make reservations a week in advance for Valentine's Day but they were already booked solid. Yeah, It's that good! He took a gamble and made reservations for us the following night. Little did even he know how special it would turn out to be. The next night, we dressed up, hopped in the car and headed out for our "special night." Instead of heading to downtown Laramie as I expected he would, Bird drove out of town toward the Snowy Mountain Range. I'm sure I gave him some hassle about not knowing where he was going. The sun was starting to set behind the mountains and the view was absolutely gorgeous! I've seen some of the prettiest sunsets while living in Wyoming. Anyway, we pull up to this place called the Vee Bar Ranch. It's a working cattle ranch with log cabins and a big lodge. We walked into the lodge and were taken to a comfy seating area by the fireplace to warm up. We thought we were waiting there until the other guests arrived. It turned out, we were receiving a special treat because we were the only guests that night. The entire lodge/restaurant was ours! Talk about ROMANTIC! They served hors d'oeuvres while we snuggled on the couch in front of the cozy fireplace. They also took our orders while we cuddled. Soon, we were invited to come to the table and eat. The table was also near the fire. I ordered the steak and Bird ordered the fish. SO GOOD I tell ya! I think that night was one of our most romantic evenings ever! I'll never forget it and how waiting an extra day to celebrate our love made our Valentine's Day Extra Special. To learn where MY HUSBAND ROCKS began head on over to Katy Lyn's Place.
