Valentine's Day 2008 was a good one. Mike surprised me with a basket full of goodies that he handpicked so I could enjoy a little pampering. We then went to dinner with 29 other people at Al's Upstairs where we enjoyed lobster bisque with a puff pastry dome, filet mignon and gulf shrimp stuffed with lump crabmeat in a cajun buerre blanc sauce, cheesecake and a pecan praline dessert bowl with fresh fruit, ice cream and whipped cream. Delicious!! It was a really special night since we were invited by our friends, Steve and Melanie. I posted about them a few weeks ago. Steve was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer on our anniversary, December the 10th. Miracuously, 70 days after he was diagnosed they could not find his tumor. He is not out of the woods yet, is still taking chemo, still needs your prayers but what a miracle!!! Praise be to God!!! You can read his story at www.caringbridge.org/visit/stevecaswell. It was not only Valentine's Day, but also a night of celebration with friends!!!

That is so amazing that they can't find the tumor.
