First, I must apologize for going through the entire month of February and not posting a single thing. No need to worry, all is well in the Wiggins family. I've just been MIA for no particular reason at all.
Second, I know it seems a bit late for a Valentine's post, but my dear ole husband was sick during the original date and we were out of town last weekend. So we celebrated Valentine's day last night.
The celebration kicked off around 3:30 when I got a knock at the door. Guess who it was...!? It was a nice lady carrying with her a lovely bouquet of yellow and pink tulips, my absolute favorite flower!! It was so sweet of him to do that and to remember what my favorite flower is.
One thing beneficial about postponing a Valentine's celebration is fighting the major crowds. Well maybe not for one place (our original choice), Julep, which serves southern style food with a twist. Apparently if you want to eat there on the weekend, you need reservations. Being semi-new to the area, we did not know that. So we opted for our second choice, Spice Avenue, a fine dining Indian restaurant.
I have never had Indian food before but since Rob got back from India, I've been telling him I'd try it. I was very surprised at how tasty it was. I ordered the Lamb Curry and garlic naan. It was awesome. We also ordered this smoothie type drink called Mango Lasi. It was also awesome! All in all, I was very pleased. The restaurant was sort of sketchy looking on the outside, with bars around the front doors. The inside was nice and very quite, though. A nice low key place with great service and wonderful food. It was a bit pricier than we expected, but not completely ridiculous.
After dinner we walked around Barnes and Noble to kill some time. We had about 2 hours between dinner and the movie. This is one of the major things I love about my husband. I love how great of friends we are that we can walk around Barnes and Noble, make fun of goofy, teeny-bopper vampire books and have a grand ole time.
After about 2 hours of dilly dallying around, we went on over to our movie, The Adjustment Bureau with Emily Blunt and Matt Damon. It was INCREDIBLE!!! We thought at least. I could see how some would not enjoy it since it's not crazy action packed for quite awhile, but we both thought it was very creative.
In case you have been living under a rock and haven't seen or heard anything about this movie, here is the trailer:
While it is an incredible movie, it will not be exactly what you expect. Not necessarily the plot, but the way it is all played out, I guess. It's full of simple sarcasm and flirtatious conversations, with some action thrown in the mix. Emily Blunt is adorable and she and Matt Damon have great chemistry. It's a love story in a new light and I HIGHLY recommend it.
All in all, we had a great first married Valentine's day celebration. I am so blessed to have such a sweet husband and best friend.
How was your Valentine's Day?
