Our Sweet Valentine’s Day 2025

Hey y’all! 💕 Today I just had to come on here and share a little piece of my heart with y’all—something sweet, unexpected, and oh-so-romantic that happened between me and my husband, Nate, this past Valentine’s Day. It was one of those nights that just felt magical from beginning to end, and I couldn't keep it to myself!

So let me take y’all back to how it started. We were rushing around, trying to get ready for our date night. I had every intention of filming a cute vlog to show off all the outfits I packed for our little Valentine’s weekend getaway, but whew—time was not on our side! We were already running late for our dinner reservation, so I looked at Nate and said, “Baby, the outfit reveal’s gonna have to wait ‘til we get to the hotel.” He laughed and nodded, and we kept it moving!

Now listen—Nate looked so good that night, okay?! I had convinced him to try this man bun hairstyle, even though he wasn’t really feeling it at first. But let me tell y’all something—it was giving grown and sexy. It matched his outfit perfectly, and I was sitting there like, “Yesss husband, you did that!” Sometimes they just gotta trust our vision, right ladies?

The best part? I had no idea where we were going. Nate planned the whole evening in secret, and let me tell you—he did that. When we pulled up and I saw the sign, my jaw dropped. He had made reservations at this beautiful, cozy live jazz restaurant. The vibe was everything—dim lighting, soft music floating through the air, candles flickering on every table. It felt like something straight out of a movie.

We kicked things off with a wine tasting, and oh my goodness, the flavors were amazing. Every glass we tried had its own little story, and it was just such a fun and grown-up way to start our evening. And then something kinda wild happened—people started recognizing us! We were just out there living our little moment, and folks were walking by like, “Aren’t you...?” One of the wine servers even came up to us later and said, “I knew who y’all were right away, but I didn’t want to interrupt your date.” That honestly touched me. It’s moments like that when you realize: you never know who’s watching. That’s why I always say—just be yourself, stay kind, stay humble.

Dinner was chef’s kiss. We had a full five-course meal, and each dish came with its own perfectly paired wine. I’m talking flavors that melted in your mouth and made you close your eyes like, “Mmm!” The jazz band played in the background the whole time, and it just felt like time slowed down a little bit. We were soaking it all in—every look, every laugh, every bite.

But y’all know Nate wasn’t done being sweet! We got back to our hotel later that night, and waiting for me in the room were fresh flowers and a box of chocolates. My heart just melted. And when I pulled back the curtains, the view from our window took my breath away—the KCKO bridge lit up in the distance, glowing like something out of a dream.

This Valentine’s Day was everything and more—romantic, peaceful, and full of those little surprises that stay in your heart forever. 💗 I’m so thankful for a man who still believes in creating moments like this. And I’m thankful for y’all too—for being on this journey with us, through the real, the fun, and the unforgettable.

Whether you're boo’d up or flying solo, just remember: love always starts with YOU. Take time to celebrate yourself, your growth, your joy. Self-love is where it begins, and everything else flows from that.

Love y’all, and I’ll see you in the next video! 💋
