Brandon had class on Valentine's Day, so we couldn't do much. I prepared a themed meal - his favorite - chicken parmesan and white chocolate-dipped strawberries.
He brought me my favorite flowers, tulips.
That weekend, we celebrated by heading to Chicago for a night. He got a great rate on a room at the Ritz-Carlton, thanks to his military discount, so we lived it up in our 5-star digs. I was excited to use my new overnight bag, which Brandon had gotten for me for Christmas.
On the way to Chicago, we stopped for lunch at Portillo's - my first time!
How cute is this Valentine?
It was unseasonably warm for February - my favorite kind of weather! The night we got there, we walked the waterfront, enjoying the gorgeous cotton candy sky.
Dinner was at Lou Malnati's - a restaurant famous for deep dish. It was a long wait, but it was SO good!
The next morning, I got up early to watch the sun rise over the lake. We found a ward nearby to go to church (they were meeting temporarily in a school, which was kind of fun), and then headed home. It was a wonderful quick trip with my love.
