All dressed up in Love!

I hope everyone had an amazing Valentine's weekend! I know I sure did. It has certainly been a love-filled past few days for me, and I found myself marveling at just how lucky I am to be blessed with such amazing friends and family.

I started my weekend off by taking a brief trip down to Nashville to surprise Fry for her birthday. It couldn't have gone off more perfectly, and I am so fortuante to have such a wonderful girl as my oldest friend in the world. Happy 23rd, Fry!

Before I headed home to Louisville, I stopped by THE original Gigi's cupcakes store:

They had some delicious concoctions crafted up for Valentine's Day, so I decided on a Strawberry Champagne and Hunka Chunka Banana (chocolate covered banana) to bring to my dinner date that night:

And what better dinner dates could I ask for, other than Palomino and Julep? Any "Tri Family" dinner has two requirements: 1. Pretty baked goods and  2. Classic Kentucky fare.  We chose to spend our "romantic" evening at Old Stone Inn, in Shelbyville:



Does it get better OR more southern than Shrimp n' Grits?

  It was SO delicious, and we had the sweetest waitress in the world- she loaded us up with Dove candy hearts throughout the entire meal (but we still had room for Gigi's!). The best part of the meal, however, was the company. It's always a treat to have Pal in town, and such a gift to have friends who can center you like my Tri Family.

I had a lovely Sunday prepping for a Valentine's party on Monday night. You can never have too much pink, or too much sugar on Valentine's Day, right?

Valentine's cake balls and strawberry cupcakes!

 The party Monday was such a blast- a wine tasting, delicious food, silly gift exchanges and tons of girl talk!

Truly the best Valentine's on record!
