dinner was lovely last night... we've decided not to exchange gifts until our trip to Chelan this weekend, so it was just dinner, but a nice one. he took me to Pasta Bella, a cute little italian restaurant, where we had our first "real" date nearly 3 years ago... and we went all out: wine/champagne, appetizer (bruschetta), salads (mine: "mista" with gorgonzola, pears and carmelized walnuts; his: caesar), entrees (mine: garlic and portobello mushroom ravioli in white sauce; his: lasagna), desserts (mine: cannoli; his: cheesecake). my mouth waters just recalling it all.
