ROMANTIC Valentines Day

A Romantic weekend at the Bybee Inn in Jacksonville, OR.... Paul's sister had gotten him a night stay at the inn for his b-day in Nov and I booked a room way ahead of time for Valentines Day! It was wonderful! even the padded walls!! :)... We got to the room and there were 4 choc covered strawberries and champagne and a rose. We then went to town to see where we could eat dinner, we had reservations that Paul made on Thurs for 845 but we didnt want to wait so we walked around town and went to the resturant The Garden and they made all local grown foods! It was delicious and I got another rose. On Friday Paul knew that I had a meeting at the District office and brought a gorgeous bouquet of flowers with a note to wait for me until I got there for my meeting. All in all it was a wonderful Valentines Day!

The rest of the Super Bowl

Sydney, Trigve, Paul, Sydney's Mom, and I had a great time at the superbowl. There was way too much food... and we wore those 3-d glasses multiple times during the night, so did the bunny. Trigve made a Bacon Explosion! It was a great time! :)

Super Bowl

This year for the Super Bowl Paul and I are going over to our friends Sydney and Trigve's house! We are obviously making way too many snacky foods; smoke salmon dip, tzatziki dip, onion dip, hot clam and artichoke dip, 4 packages of pitas for pita chips, boboli just in case... and I made a carrot cake. Obviously I couldn't let it go unfrosted and unthemed so I've spent the morning putting a layer of cream cheese frosting and then making frosting to create the Super Bowl theme. Paul was very excited to see me doing this because he got me a really nice awesome cake decorating kit last Christmas and I have only had time to make like 3 or 4 cakes... Thought these pictures would be fun to share and show everyone that this year I'm safe cooking unlike 2002 when I broke my wrist on super bowl sunday. :)
