Happy Valentine's Day

The Navy really knows how to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day. Justin's XO called him today to tell him he needs to report in 2 weeks for a 6 month deployment. Thanks Navy! We really didn't want to get too used to living together anyways (Justin just moved here on Friday).

Fortunately, Justin and I did our Valentine's celebration a few days early. We've developed a tradition over the past few years of cooking together for Valentine's Day. This year Justin made lamb chops and I made chocolate crème brûlée. He loves crème brûlée and I love chocolate, so this year they came together.
