Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentine’s Day

Amy’s in the bay area again and I get to spend the day with her. It’s been awesome to reconnect, spend a large amount of time together, and just be together for a day.

One of my favorite Valentine’s Day traditions is having a dinner with Amy and Ryan and then hanging out with them for the whole day. I remember my Aunt Flo (who is an amazing cook and has created some amazing meals) and her from when we were kids. We always have a lovely dinner at our house in Boulder and have a house party in Boulder. There are always romantic moments in the evening and then the rest of the day is about whatever happens.

Last night Amy and I had a romantic dinner at The Backwater, one of my favorite hangouts, with my cousins Kenny and Jamie. I just remember the food, which was superb, and the conversation, which was very laid back, mellow, and romantic.

Some of my favorite verse from Broaddus’s American Dream:

You know I’ll make you a new friend And tell him how beautiful that country is Is that all you need to know?

Happy Valentine’s Day.
