8 years ago this Valentine's weekend, Aaron and I were visiting back home for the first time as an engaged couple. I remember being on cloud 9. Aaron had proposed to me on the 7th and I don't think I stopped smiling for weeks! One day we'll have to "re-create" that proposal night by going out to eat at The Old Spaghetti Factory in downtown Minneapolis. That is still my favorite restaurant! For now, I'll be very thankful for my husband and enjoy the chicken and potato dinner he's cooking for me tonight. :)
Tomorrow morning is the big day. I'll be getting 7 teeth pulled...2 wisdom teeth and 5 molars. It will be an anxious morning for me, but I'm praying all goes well and I can keep my nerves under control. God is the God of Peace and I know that He'll be right there with me.
Now time for my 365 photo update!
Meds 2/3/10
I went to the dentist today because I had a really painful tooth ache. It's infected, so now I have two new meds to take. Hopefully the pain subsides tonight so I can sleep well.
Refuge 2/4/10
Still not feeling totally up to par today. This is a photo of our couch which has been my place of refuge the last few days. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for me and I'll actually be more willing to take a good picture!
Hidden Treasure 2/5/10
I started going thru the kitchen cabinets tonight in an effort to declutter some more. Taking baby steps so I don't get overwhelmed by it all. One of the boxes I found was marked "pottery dishes from Dawn" and I found this hidden treasure inside! My husband & I received these as a wedding gift 7 years ago. When I opened the box after the wedding, I only pulled out the blue dish because I didn't want to try to pack everything back into the box for our trip to our house...Imagine my surprise when I pulled out 4 different colors!! :)
My Husband Loves Me 2/6/10
My husband brought me home some flowers this afternoon! Here's one of the flowers. I had a lot of fun photographing this beauty. Thanks for the flowers, hun! :)
Sunday 2/7/10
Today was spent at home in the house because of the snow we're getting...again. So, the flowers from my hubby became my model for today again. Here's the carnation that's in the bouquet.
Love is...Grandmas 2/8/10
We've been hit with another snow storm. We live on the same farmstead with my in-laws and this is a picture of Grandma playing outside in the snow with the girls. She was a life-saver for me at that moment as we've been stuck in the house for a few days and the kids were starting to get a little cabin fever. It's not the best picture, but the best I could get taking it thru a window without them catching me. :)
Love is...A Comfy Hotel Stay! 2/9/10
After having a rough week, my husband treated me to a hotel stay last night. I was able to take a nice LONG, hot shower followed by a LONG, hot bubble bath without any interruptions from little ones!!! I think this was also the first night this week that I slept in a bed instead of on the couch at home. Thanks, hun! :)
Love is...Cuddles With Daddy 2/10/10
This is my husband and son enjoying some cuddles while watching a movie this evening. My son is sucking on his thumb which signals to us that he's getting tired. It was always a nice sign to watch for when he was still a baby telling us it was naptime.
Baking 2/11/10
This afternoon I decided to do some baking. I was planning on doing a few different banana recipes because I had quite a few that were over-ripe. Unfortunately, most of them were too over-ripe that I didn't want to use them. :( I did have 3 that were good, so I made a batch of "Banana Crumble Muffins" and then a batch of chocolate chip cookies. :)
Rubber Ducky 2/12/10
Today my son woke up much earlier than his normal wake-up time which also meant that the normal routine would have to be a little different today. Everything was done earlier than normal, including bath time. I'm very thankful that a bath can completely change my son's grumpy attitude!
Hershey's Kiss? 2/13/10
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and it happens to be my turn to bring snacks for our church's Sunday school. I found this idea online and thought it would be fun to do. These are rice krispie treats made to look like a Hershey's Kiss! :) It was A LOT of work, but it'll be fun to see what the kids think when they see them tomorrow morning. The little flags say "God Loves You!" and "Jesus Loves You!"
