When I think back on my all time favorite memory of Zeke, the first thing that pops in my mind is our first Valentine's Day. It was February 14th, 2007. Only a month into the relationship, we were doing long distance from Houston to Dallas, and I wasn't sure what to expect from him other than some flowers and a card (pretty standard stuff). 3:00 rolls around, and the office is covered in pink roses... except for my desk. Everyone was giving me a hard time about it, and I was starting to get worried that the man didn't have a romantic bone in his body. Shortly after, I got a call from the receptionist that I had a delivery at the front. I hung up and said "See, he's not worthless!" I walked into the lobby and there were my beautiful flowers- accompanied by my handsome new boyfriend! He booked a surprise flight from Dallas to Houston, cooked me avocado enchiladas from the Abulelo's mexican food recipe (my all time favorite dish), and even brought the actual sauce from Abuelo's as the topping because that recipe is secret. He carried in on the plane in a little tupperware dish. Talk about setting the bar high!
Throughout the past 4 years, he never ceases to amaze me! Wether it's V-Day, Christmas, B-Day, Anniversary, I know that he will always have something thoughtful and crafty up his sleeve, so I gave up trying to out-do him and just try to give him something he will appreciate.
Today was no exception...

Wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day from DC <3
