It was very cool to have my parents there to cheer me on. It kind of felt like I was back in high school with my parents there cheering me on at all my sporting events. We went home where some yummy homemade crockpot chili was awaiting us. Then Clark and I headed out to a friend's birthday party. Lucky for us, we had a dogsitter for Lucy all lined up - my parents - and they were beyond thrilled to watch her.
The next day, Sunday, was Valentine's Day and after having breakfast at Paddy Coyne's, my parents headed back home to Portland (of course stopping at Cabela's on the way home). Meanwhile, Clark brought me a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a card, which told me that I had an appointment at the spa for a facial, massage, manicure, and pedicure. I was so surprised and so excited. So off to the spa I went. It was wonderfully relaxing. When I got home 4 hours later, I had my own Valentine's Day surprises for Clark. I made him homemade Italian meatloaf and homemade macaroni and cheese (made with Cougar gold cheese!). Lucy also got a special Valentine's Day dinner of rice, chicken, salmon, and green beans. For dessert, Clark got a homemade chocolate chip cookie in the shape of a heart as well as personalized Sweetheart cakes. As if that wasn't enough, I treated him with a gift certificate to Puetz Golf to purchase a new golf club that he had been wanting.
It was a wonderful Valentine's Day filled with tennis, family, home-cooked food, and lots of love. I feel so blessed.
The day after Valetine's Day we went to Seattle - a long walk along Alki Beach in West Seattle, some fish and chips at Duke's Chowder House, and golf club shopping
