Heart Day

Seven years ago on the 14th Tyler and I went on our first date (Blind Date) so we absolutely love Valentines Day. And I don't think I even need to mention how much our girls love it! Pink Hearts, Candy, Candy, and even more Candy. They were in heaven. Tyler and I went to a fancy dinner the night before at the school. We got to dress up all fancy and I even got my hair done at the salon. It was lots of fun to spend an evening with Tyler (and Barry). For Tyler, the actual Valentines Day was spent studying at the school. The girls and I made lunch for him and spent a few minutes hanging out with him at the school. Then we went home and made sugar cookies and decorated them. It was a blast doing it with them. Annie was an animal when it came time to cut out the cookies. We would put the cookie cutters on the dough and before we could get our hands away she was pushing and pulling them off. We had beautiful cookies! During the middle of the night Hallie informed me "Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to make sugar cookies" after her third time to the toilet throwing up.
We had our Fancy Valentines Dinner which consisted of cold cereal, muffins, different fruits, and chocolate milk. This is what Tyler made me for our first date so we keep it as a tradition. The girls couldn't understand why we were having cereal for dinner but didn't seem to mind when they saw the sugar cookie next to the bowl! It was a great day and we loved being together (when we could).

And Tyler takes over the post most triumphantly!

Annie has been doing a new thing: "Hey guys, hey GUYS... why is everyone looking at me?" We aren't looking to begin with, now she just laughs hysterically when she does it.

Barry is supposedly laughing too, but every time Bree tries to show me he is conveniently "not doing it right now."

Bree put together the whole of our Valentines day stuff, and she did a great job. It was way fun to go to dinner and have all the food and stuff that we did. She really is amazing and I am just reminded of that around this time of year, when I think back on all the strange and uncomfortable times that I had to endure till I found her... and until she accepted me.

Other news: We will be getting a new computer here soon, the old Frankenstein machine is dying the slow death. The new machine should be here already, and I could have put it together, but I have to wait for 1 lousy part till Tuesday. Sok though, cause I live in the realm of study, and tests are my Archduke.

It was almost 70 degrees a few days ago, now we have a few inches of snow. I rode the bike to school for a little while and was reminded of how kick butt it is. I need to get front turn signals, so that I can pass safety inspection and get it registered here. Then I will post an updated picture of it, with my new kick-anus paint job on my helmet that Kerry did. I will also post pictures of the new computer, and if I get to get the weights that I want, we will resume the P90x blog, for those that are interested.

School is good. It has been much more difficult this quarter than last, but recently is taking a better turn after the return of good scripture study habits. I have been doing increasingly doctor-like things. Including some very doctor like things, that are a bit sensitive in nature (turn your head and cough type things... ask your husbands) and so we will not get graphic here.

All in all, pretty dang happy, and looking forward to the manly-type post that is coming up here.

(Bree didn't want to put that picture up. Tell her she is pretty)
