Our Valentines Day

This year was my favorite valentines day ever! Usually we are rolling in stinking poor, but this year our tax return came in so we were able to do a couple of things that are unusual for us (doing our part to stimulate the economy).

I spent the morning cleaning the house and taking care of E while Andy slept, and then when he got up he went out for a haircut and came home with a flowers (a plant of calla lilies, my favorite!) and a box of hand picked See's chocolates. mmm

I spent all afternoon getting prettied up, and then we picked up Mike to babysit and went to dinner at On the Border (I had a gift card there) and I was fancy and got a Virgin drink (which is how you know I am having a good time- right Alex? LOL). After dinner we went to the adult dance at the church building for Elk Grove Stake.

Kent Ropers band played (it's not actually Kent's band, but I know him the best) and they were SUPER! I spent most of the night being silly and running around with Jacki and Janicca and occasionally dancing with Andy (thanks to brother Watkins for encouraging him : )

After the dance, we went through the McD drive thru for ice creams on the way home.

Hooray! What a fun night! I am so grateful for my valentine and all the fun times we are able to have together.
