Happy Valentine's Day!!

Or as someone else I know calls it "Single Awareness Day" which I thought was really funny!

A friend of mine sent me this little Valentine and I thought it was really cute, so I thought I would share it with you:

I hope your day is going well, mine is going great!! It started off pretty early. I drove Nick and John to the airport at 6am. For Nick's birthday (which isn't actually until March), John is taking him to the NBA All-Star game in Phoenix. John started taking the boys away individually instead of us giving them a gift, and it's really nice because then he gets real quality bonding time with them. So off they went and though I was sad to send my Valentine off on a plane, I was very happy that Nick and John get to go off and have some fun together. They aren't back until Monday so I am looking forward to catching up on some chick-flicks and knitting. I know pretty exciting right?

John was really sweet and bought me flowers for Valentine's Day yesterday. They are absolutely beautiful and this really cool orangey-pink color. I'm not sure you'll be able to see the color perfectly in this picture, but you'll get the idea.

So I headed over to my good friend Aniko's house and we did a little shopping and then we made cookies. It really was so much fun! She wanted to make heart-shaped sugar cookies, and then we also made Raspberry Almond Thumb-print cookies. They turned out so well and we had a lot of fun making them. Yummy! We got the recipes off of allrecipes.com, which is a really great website if you haven't already checked it out, anything you could ever want to make is there.

Then my Mom and Anne came over for dinner (see Mom, you did get a blog mention). We didn't have anything too exciting, just some soup and vegetable fried rice. But it was really good, and it really hit the spot on such a cold and yucky day, and it was great to have company! Now I am watching Lars and the Real Girl with Ryan Gosling, which is actually really quite cute, I would definitely recommend it.

Anyways sorry for the play by play and not much travel info, but sometimes I just really enjoy writing!

Talk to you soon.
