Happy Valentine's Day!

Ok, so Valentine's Day isn't until tomorrow....but I felt like blogging!

What is new...?  Well, Bobby has officially reached mid-terms!  The time has FLOWN by!  He came down with the flu on Tuesday morning.  He attempted to go to work and then called me 30 minutes after he left home, telling me that his boss was sending him home.  Well, of course she is!   He's back in tip-top shape, but he never gets sick so it's usually bad when he does.  

February keeps us very busy.  Both of our moms have their birthdays in February.  Plus Valentine's day.  Then 2  very good friends have birthdays as well this month.  It makes the month just fly by in a flash!  We celebrated my mom's birthday last weekend.  We had the family over here for dinner.  It's really hard for us to go out because my brother works in the evenings Monday-Friday and Bobby gets off work just as Jeff is going to work.  So we usually end up seeing each other on Sunday evening for dinner, whenever we do see each other.  We're celebrating Valentine's Day on Sunday.  We tried to make a reservation at Pittsburgh Blue in Maple Grove, but the earliest availability was 9:30! And that was a month before Valentine's Day!  So we opted to just wait until Sunday.  I'm going to see the movie "Confessions of a Shopaholic" with my good friend Karen tomorrow.  We've been impatiently waiting the arrival of this movie since we heard it was coming out....way back in October!  The books are SO good, we cannot wait for the movie!

Next weekend, we'll be celebrating Bobby's mom's birthday.  We're having lunch with Pat and Kara on Saturday.  Saturday night will be exciting for me, because I'm going to the first official "Girls' Night Out".  My friend Millie's sister-in-law does this with her college friends.  We were invited in October when they carved pumpkins and thought....hey, this is a good idea!  So Millie got together a few high school and college friends to start doing this every month.  She is hosting a Wine Night at her place next Saturday.  Then someone else will take March, and so on.  I think it's a great thing to just be with the girls once a month.  A good portion of the girls are married, engaged or in a serious relationship, so it's nice to get away from the boys!  

Really not a whole lot of excitement in our lives right now.... just keeping busy with work and school.  I'm still playing Bunco once a month and attending Bible Study once a month.  I felt it had been a while since our last post.....but not a whole lot going on.  Hopefully next post will be more thrilling!!
