Candlelight dinners are best in your own home...

Ryan and i celebrated our 6 month anniversary with a beautiful candlelit dinner-in our own home!

Ryan prepared it and cooked it all and asked that I relax and enjoy the evening while he did all the cooking:)

What a treat!

For an appetizer, he made avacados filled with shrimp and crab. WOW. it was amazing.

For the sides he made buttery potatoes and asparagus cooked in red onions and garlic. mmmm...

and for the main course, we had oven grilled steak, in a red wine and butter sauce. best steak i've had in Storm Lake! this is how the main course looked. Beautiful isn't it?

It was the perfect steak-sooooo good.

Ryan even put together a mix of songs by Frank Sinatra and other suave music. it was like going to one of those fancy nice restuarants that we used to go to all the time in Chicago-but this was in our own home!

and here's a picture of the fabulous cook-my man and love:) I'm so proud of all the work he put into this amazing meal!

the evening was beautiful, romantic, and perfect-the most wonderful anniversary dinner because of all the love that was poured into this meal:)
