Valentine's Day

I know you are all on the edge of your seat, waiting to hear about my Valentine's Day. :0) I will say that I have never been into Valentine's Day. I think it is nice and I do expect it to be acknowledged in our house. However, I don't expect gifts. This Valentine's Day we decided that we were not going to buy each other gifts. I did make Josh his favorite dinner - Chicken Casserole. Then I attempted to make a strawberry cake. It fell to pieces and looked awful. It did taste really good. How could the icing not be good? It had a stick of butter, 1 lb powder sugar, strawberries, and cool whip - come on, YUMMY! We ate it despite the looks of it. Anyway, when Josh got home from work he told me that we were going on a date on Friday night. Hannah was going to stay with Gramps and Granna. This was the best Valentine's present I could get. Hannah had been a little bit of a handful on Thursday & we haven't been out by ourselves in a long time.

Friday night we went to Petrucelli's (sp?) to eat. It was DELICIOUS! (as one sweet little boy would put it!) I love italian food. Then we went bowling. I don't think I have been bowling since our first date. It was fun, although I was TERRIBLE like always. (I took a bowling class at Faulkner and made a "C") Josh did a lot better than me. After we left the bowling alley, we went to Target. Then we rode around and looked at the houses in Mountain Brook. There are some beautiful and huge homes in that area. We had a WONDERFUL date! I am so glad that Josh planned that for us. We love Hannah but it is good to carry on a conversation with your husband without anyone screaming from the backseat of the car or trying to keep her in her highchair at dinner and not disturb the whole restaurant! My husband is the best!
