I'm engaged!!!

Happy (Belated) Valentines Day!!!

For dinner I set up our table so it wouldn't seem like every other day... it seemed kinda fancy and was really nice for a change!

My Lil Monkey really enjoyed the marshmallow hearts and candy hearts in his champagne "glass" (his was plastic)


He made me this in preschool... I love things he makes, especially if it includes handprints!!!

It was a good day... I had planned to exchange our gifts at dinner time but, since I live in a house full of impatient people, myself included, we did it that morning. Weather permitting we are going to get ourselves a Wii tomorrow, which is a late Valentine's Day gift to us, from us. I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day!!!

I'm feeling a little blah today... not sure why. Maybe because I'm not getting instant gratification from my workouts. I'm home with my monkey today and I am out of ideas for things to do - could be because I'm just not in the mood to even be awake today... and it's not a good feeling... so he is playing games on the computer and here I sit... I'm about to see what kind of activities I can find to do... Even with our heat wave of 41 degrees, there is still enough snow outside to be too messy to want to deal with. I hope everyone out there is having a better day than I am...

I joined the gym this week, and have been twice already, LOVIN IT!!! I have to be at work at either 5 or 5:30 in the morning and I'd much rather start my day with a workout than to work out after work when I am pretty much exhausted... so I get up at 3 in the morning. I honestly was a little unsure about how that would work out, since I am not generally a morning person. But I have gotten up both times with no problem. I was even off work today and still got up at 3:30 - WOW! Before Logan got up for school I had a great workout, shower, cleaned the kitchen, and watched most of a movie with my sweetheart (he works nights and was off last night). My goal is to be what I was 8 years ago... 50 pounds lighter. This is going to take a while, but I am looking forward to the journey :)
