My Valentines

This is Savannah.

She has rosy cheeks, dark hair and brown eyes, all of which she gets from her dad.

Her favorite food at the moment is tacos, rice and fries.

Her favorite toys are stuffed animals, and magnets.

She likes being in charge, and has an attitude.

She loves to dance and run.

In fact, she never just walks anywhere, she has to run.

She loves to color, especially on the walls.

She brushes her teeth about 5 times a day.

She cries when it's time to get out of the bath.

She doesn't like to be messy, ever.

She's got the personality of a firecracker.

And I love her.

This is Bryant

He has freckles, dark hazel eyes, and dark hair.

He likes to sing.

He loves to read and can read an entire series in a matter of a couple of days.

He's a people person, and makes friends easily.

He loves sports, and he plays, refs, and coaches them nearly every night of the week.

He's a Star Wars nerd.

His favorite food is anything with meat in it, and he likes to cook.

He thinks I'm cute with my glasses.

He's a very hard worker, and is always reaching for new goals in life, and obtains them.

He owns 6 of the exact same shirt.

And I love him.

Our Valentines Day kind of went down the toilet. I've had a medical issue that requierd some antibiotics, and on Thursday, I woke up in a lot of pain. Bryant origionally planned on going into work early in order to get off early, and then we were going to take Savannah out to dinner and a movie. But instead, he took the morning off and drove me to the urgent care, where we waited for over 2 hours, just to get a change in the antibiotic prescription. When we made it home, I took a 3 hour nap while he kept Savannah busy so she wouldn't come wake me up. Later that night, he had to go into work to make up for his morning off. 

I'm happy to say I'm feeling a bit better. Valentines wasn't a complete bust though, last night we went and got a couples massage while Bryant's brother babysat for us. I wish massages weren't so expensive, because they really make me feel amazing. She worked on my sciatic nerve a lot, which was super painful, but worth it, it feels so much better today! 

I don't need a day set aside for Bryant to shower me with gifts or love and affection, because he does that for me every day. I'm so blessed to have him in my life. Our marriage grows stronger every single day because we work at it. We work really hard at it. We communicate, we offer thanks and praise to each other, and we never forget that we promised each other that we would be together forever, no matter what challenges came our way. We are not quitters. We are hard workers who are in love with each other, and in love with the little family we have created.

I love you Bryant, Savannah, and Baby #2.

Happy Valentines Day!

Don't you just love date nights?

I Do!
And it had been WAY too long since hubby and I had a proper date.

Lets rewind real quick here and talk about SUPERBOWL SUNDAY first!

My grandparents invited us to their house to watch the game, and I was lucky enough to find a girl at work that would work from 3:30 to close for me. The ONE Sunday a month I have to work and it falls on superbowl Sunday, Sheesh!

Don't they all look like a happy bunch? The girl on the left is my little brothers friend Missy. She was super cute and I think everyone was pretty shocked that Colter actually had a date for once. That, of course is Bryant in the middle, and my Grandpa Peacock on the right.
My brother Colter, and My mom Anna.And thats my other brother Sawyer, My dad Lance, and my uncles wife Nicole playing mancala with my little sister. Nicole is the one who owns Reggie, if you remember him from a couple posts ago...

Now, on the the highlight of MY week.
Bryant and I.... well, mostly me... Have been dying to go on a date. Usually when we go out, it's just to go to a movie, but there was NOTHING playing that we wanted to see. Not one thing. We needed to go to the mall to Kay jewlers to get my ring cleaned, since I have to have it done every 6 months to keep the warranty on it. So we went there first to window shop while it was being cleaned. Next, we headed to my work (yeah, I know, but i'm not the only one who goes there on her day off...) where we bought Bryant the next 3 books in his series (it's been less than a week and he's almost done with those!)

Then, since there were absolutely no good movies playing, we decided to go to trafalga and go mini-golfing! They have a cool glow in the dark course!
It's an under water theme, it's pretty cool.
Bryant even got a hole in one on the last hole and won us a free game!
We had bought this date-night pass thing which was pretty awesome. It's 25 bucks and it gets you golf for 2, dippin dots for 2, 8 tokens for the arcade and 2 activites which you choose from either the batting cages, the go-carts, a 3d ride thing or you could exchange one activity for 50 tokens. We did the tokens and they said we could come back another time and do the batting cages or the go-carts. We didn't do the 3d ride cause in sea world, we did a helicopter one and we both left it super sick. We didn't want a repeat.

So between the two of us, we won about 100 tickets in the arcade, then one of the guys that worked there gave us 300 free tickets for no reason! I really wanted a stuffed animal, but you had to have over 1000 just to get a small one, but the guy let us have one anyway, and since Ace chewed up my mickey, we got him a stuffed Brian Griffin from family guy that he can chew up.

So overall, it was an AMAZING date night! I absolutely loved it! In fact, I liked it so much I made Bryant take me to see the lightning thief tonight (he got a gift certificate for the theaters from his work!)

I thought it was actually pretty good. Now I understand why I get a million people a day asking for the books at work. Plus, I love me a little Greek mythology every now and then...
Speaking of mythology, this is one of my favorite stories, Psyche and Eros. I got to see this scultpure in the Louvre and it's one of my favorite sculptures as well. I even have it on my fridge...

Did you know that I took honors english in high school? That whole class was about mythology from all over the world. Pretty awesome eh?

And guess what? We might even get to go on a THIRD date early next week in honor of valentines day (plus, bryant got another gift certificate for a restaurant from his boss!)

I'm so excited!
