February 2012

I never take ANY photos in February, and this year was no exception. It's just a boring month! Well, except that it is our anniversary month and this year, we celebrated 11 years....but guess what?! No photos! We got a sitter and went out to dinner at Bonefish Grill. It was really good. Then we went to the bar where we met (The Green Onion). We sat by the fire and had a drink and then we were home by 10pm. Wow, we are exciting! We did have fun, though!

Then there's Valentine's Day. We got the boys some Legos for a little present and we celebrated at breakfast with heart-shaped pancakes. For dinner we had heart-shaped pizza. I took a half day at work and went to the boys' parties at school. My mom also went along.

The other thing keeping us busy this month is our kitchen remodel. We have gotten new cabinets, countertops, backsplash, peninsula and sink/faucet. This week the new hardwood flooring goes in on our first floor. Finally, the cabinets will be painted mid-March. I am so excited for it to be done. But then we move on to an electrician and first-floor painting, new furniture, etc. So, it will be a long process. I can't wait to see the end result.

We also attended Disney on Ice this month. I hadn't been in years and the boys hadn't been at all. They really enjoyed it and sat and watched the entire time. Jack was sick when we went, but luckily he was on the mend.

And I almost forgot! The most exciting thing to happen this month was that Julie and Nate got engaged! He proposed after dinner while they were on a walk. It was the 13th anniversary of their first date, which was on February 13th. Julie is really excited and happy to finally be engaged, after waiting 13 years! It sounds like they plan on getting married late summer/early fall of this year!
