Another Ice Day

I haven't been on in a couple of days so I didn't do any Valentine's Day posts. I hope everyone had a good V-DAY and celebrated the day with the one you love. I told Rob I didn't want us to buy each other gifts this year. I had been doing little things each day-1 for every day of Feb until the 14th. He got me a really romantic card & he surprised me and took Valentine's day off (normally he would work 8:30am-7:30pm and we wouldn't have gotten to go out). This was the best gift of all b/c I enjoy spending time with him. Between him working full time at Alltel and being a pastor-I feel I don't see him much. He's been off the last two days so that was nice! He took me to Colton's that night for supper. I had the catfish-yum-o! We've had ice here the last couple of days. It's really slick out there. I've got some laundry to fold, dishes, beds to make and vacuum and then the rest of the day is mine so I'm going to do some crafting! If you've got some "nice" weather going on that's keeping you stuck inside-make a day out of it! Read a book that you never have time for, read a magazine (my two favorites are Woman's Day & All You), work on a craft project you've been wanting to do or curl up on the couch and watch a romantic movie that you know your hubby will never watch with you! At any rate-this is your day to do what YOU want-so relax and enjoy it! I know I'm going to!

Looks, like SNOW, but it's ICE!!!

Our slick driveway

The sidewalk in front of our house

It looks like snow but it's not-its a thick layer of ice. This was taken Monday morning, the day it was raining. We had a ice storm all day and night Monday night. It's still on the ground today. A lot has melted but as cold as it will be tonight, it will freeze again. The pics I took are looking out my front door. Chloe thinks its snow. It's a doozy walking on our sidewalk. It's really slick. I can't get my car out of our driveway b/c it steeps down. Well-I could probably get it out, but coming back in, I'd probably slide right into the house! The schools have been canceled Since Monday but I think they will be going back tomorrow. Chloe and I have just been hanging out here. A friend of mine from church and her 3 kids came over yesterday. We went out for lunch and the kids played at the house while Michelle and I visited. It was nice to get out for awhile after being cooped up inside the last coupe of days! Chloe has her valentine's day party tomorrow at school. We made her box earlier today. It was her first box. She's excited about her party tomorrow! I'm off to figure out supper, so everyone take care and Happy Valentine's Day!

Sweetheart Banquet @ church

Sweetheart's Banquet King & Queen 2008


The Newlywed Game Winners!

We had our Valentine's Sweetheart Banquet @ church Saturday night. It was SOOOOO much fun! The men cooked for the ladies and served us and did the dishes! I even have pics for proof! Rob & I were one of the 4 couples to play the newlywed game. Rob's mom & stepdad attend church there and they played the game too. And they won! They made a good comeback b/c in the first round they were losing but they made a comeback and won the game! It was so much fun! Rob & I were crowned King & Queen! Ahh! We also had categories for the hen-pecked husband, the man with the best hair (a bald man won that one!!!) and the most love sick couple! An older couple won that one! It was so much fun! I can't wait til next year! Yesterday was the 6th anniversary of the day Rob proposed to me :) I've been doing a valentine for him every day since the 1st so yesterday I gave him a valentine card that when you open it up it plays the song "At Last". I would say yes to him a gazillion times over! He's my best friend, my soulmate, the love of my life. He's the best valentine in the world! I got more valentine's in the mail today and when I get all of them, I will post a pic. It was fun participating in the V-day card swap. I want to do this every year! Well-I hope everyone is enjoying their day. We are having ice rain today. The roads are slick. There's another storm on its way now. I hope that it won't get too bad where we're without power. That happened to a neighboring town 2 hours away last winter and some parts of that town still haven't fully recooperated and that was a year ago. So-please keep our town and surrounding areas in your prayers. Have a good week and God bless!
