For Valentines Day we had a "fancy dinner" for the kids...they loved it!!!
We had Grilled Steak, Salad, Baked potato, cous cous, and rolls...
...AND Sparkling Grape Juice..The kids loved making toasts..they wanted to say cheers every 5 minutes during dinner...
Chad and I went on a date the night before..to Demos' and to the Mall..just to walk around, we never get to do that..then we got ice-cream at Dairy Queen..fun stuff..but here we are..
And here are the kids with their Valentine's gift..Is it Valentine's or Valentines?

Thoughts and Features...
Wow..it's been a long time. Has anyone wondered what happened to me? I doubt it. ;) I just haven't wanted to blog. Wow. What's wrong with me. Just didn't feel like it. But now I do. YAY! Aren't you just thrilled?
Isn't it exciting? The weather??? OH MY GOSH! I'M SO EXCITED! I can't wait to be hot and sweaty in the sunny, sun-sun. Everyday this winter, I woke up, ran to switch off the fan, put on some warm, long, stretchy pants, a long sleeve t-shirt, a sweatshirt, socks and sometimes I even wore gloves. I get cold very easily. Plus my house doesn't seem to ever warm up. I'm delighted by the warm weather coming..can you tell?
With warm weather comes spring clothes..I love spring..I love the colors..my favorite season of the year.
Isn't this cute? I found it HERE.
With this warm weather has come with it, a STRONG desire to run. I even dreamed I was running, running, running last night. It was great, b/c I didn't want to stop and I was running, oh so fast. The only problem is..Chad is away, so I can't just run every evening or every morning like I would like to, b/c I have no one to watch my kids. I will do it though. The goal is to run a 5k this summer. I know you are all thinking wooooopdeeeedooo, a 5k. Well you have got to realize..I have just started running this past fall..I stopped b/c of the cold weather. It's good I'm craving it right? It's a start.
I went to Gap outlet yesterday. I saw this. It's for a little girl..HOW ADORABLE??? I didn't buy it. It was too much. But oh how I wanted to. (The flowery stuff is a Cardigan)
WE didn't get the Job we were hoping for, for those of you who didn't know, it was for a CEO Director position at the Sparta YMCA. We were hopeful for this one, because THEY called HIM and asked for an interview. We were hopeful. But then we were sad. We are a bit confused right now. We don't know what the Lord is wanting us to do. What direction he wants us to go..we are praying and searching and pondering. I'm hoping we will soon know. I want a baby so bad. I can't have one yet though, because we don't have Maternity insurance. Thanks for all the prayers!!
This is a picture of my Brother's, Girlfriend's Sister (got that?)..Annie Rose (the coolest girl I know) sorry, inside joke. And it might creep a few people out to see that I put a picture of her on my blog (i've never even met the girl) But I saw this picture on facebook, b/c my brother and his girlfriend (hi! if you're reading this) were tagged in the album. I LOVED Annie Rose's oufit!! I want it.
I've never thought of putting red shoes with a yellow dress before. Just like that one time on Oprah when they paired an Emerald green dress with Plum Purple shoes. Wow. I need to stop.
I did a Bow Booth at a consignment sale last week! It was interesting. I made a little money. My problem was that I got my hopes WAY up. But I'm glad I did it. I made a good friend in the process. Here is my booth. I'm going to start an Etsy store!!
I made a few new bows!
And I got my business cards in!! (sorry about the quality of the last few pics I took them with my phone)
OH and I want this..for my Easter Dress...SO BAD!
Okay I think that's all for now! Stay tuned for Valentines Day post..I'm a little behind..I know!

Drama Queen
We went to Logan's with Chad's parents the other night and Hallie kept getting up on her chair, to watch the waitress fill up our drinks etc. We kept telling her no, get down, stop it, etc. Finally, Chad got really stern and said NO! HALLIE! She dramatically put her hand to her chest and said, "I just can't control myself!!!" Oh my.
