February!

Well shoot! I had this post all typed up and almost ready to go yesterday, when things started popping up and then I forgot all about it! Oh well. Just pretend you're reading this yesterday.
 
Happy last day of February! This tends to be a dreary month for me – thank goodness it’s so short! Winter’s ready to be over, but spring hasn’t quite come, so it makes for some yucky weather. And Utah has definitely been guilty – it will be nice and sunshiney and almost warm one day, then it’ll snow and be nasty for the next three days! Not a very nice trick for someone who’s been missing the sun. Oh well, tomorrow is March and we will (hopefully) be on to better and warmer days!
This month was pretty uneventful for Dan and me. I think the only part of February worth actually mentioning was Valentine’s Day! For him, I made a little treat bag of various Hershey Kisses with a little note (thank you Relief Society activity!). My day started off by discovering a little box of my new favorite chocolates (Mrs. Cavanaughs) in my purse, with this note attached to it:
Isn’t he cute with his little heart exclamation points?! And what was in the red binder you ask? Well, for the sake of preserving Dan’s manliness, I won’t share a picture of that. But I can tell you what it was – a sweet little love note expressing how awesome I am. ;) And then I had work, which kinda sucks, because I like to think of holidays as days off! But that was okay, since a couple hours before I got off, Dan surprised me by coming into the office with a vase of pretty flowers! Yay! That night, I made a conscious effort to do NOTHING except have dinner, decorate cookies, and spend time with my awesome husband. It was nice to just chill out. Since we’re poor, and didn’t want to wait 2 hours to get into a restaurant, we just had dinner at home… I can’t even remember what it was now! Probably something super delicious. Anyway, instead of dinner we went out for dessert – that’s my favorite part anyway. We went to the new Cinnabon in the mall, and it was amazing! (The extra frosting we ordered probably didn’t hurt, either.) And that was it! Happy Valentine’s Day!
 
Oh, I guess the one other thing is we went to the last Twilight movie. Yes, as much as I hate to admit it, I have read and watched all of the Twilight series. It wasn't too bad, it was at the dollar theater, and the popcorn is amazing - so all in all, I'd say it was worth it! I mean really, we all know we're going to the movies for the popcorn anyway. Don't deny it.
So other than that, not much happened this month. But at least I kept my monthly posting resolution. Next month is Dan’s birthday, so that’ll be fun. He’s getting kinda old, but more on that later!
