Love is in the Air!

Yup, you guessed it, it's the magical day when Cupid floats through the air shooting his love darts at people, the day many know as Valentine's Day.  Though Valentine's day is miserable for some, I am fortunate enough to already have my Valentine's date picked out this year and for the rest to come with my best friend and husband, Mr. Mike.  This year for Valentine's day we already had made some plans at the Food Bank with some friends, so we had our "true" Valentine's day dinner a few day's in advance.  We met Sam and Whitney at Cafe Trio at the base of Big Cottonwood Canyon.  Mike thought we were headed for a Mexican restaurant, based on the name, so we were both a little surprised to find it was actually an Italian restaurant.  The food was respectable, however, the best part was the size of Mike's meatball.  It was practically as big as my hand, it was huge!

Although eating the man size meatball was enjoyable, we decided to eat at one of our favorite restaurants, Rancherito's for the actual holiday.  Best Valentine's Day dinner yet! We did a quick dinner before and then headed down to the Food Bank to meet Scott and Meghann to sort some food and do a little service on this day of love.  We had been attending the Food Bank every couple weeks to every month for a little while now.  Scott and Meghann also volunteered there as well as Scott was looking to be a Fireman and so he needed some volunteer hours.  Nevertheless, we enjoyed working there and having an opportunity to serve.  However, we were not always the best at planning in advance and not surprisingly the only day they had left in February was Valentine's Day.  So we thought, what better way to spend the day of love than serving others?  Yup, we are that good.
