Valentines weekend!

      This year was a great Valentines, I might even go as far to say that it was my favorite. Since Valentines was on a Monday i feel like i got a whole weekend of valentines activities :)
       To start it off on Saturday I went a very fun date with Josh and Lily. We went to Tucanos and till we were stuffed. We had everything from fish to chicken hearts. I was not the biggest fan of these, but Josh and Lily LOVED them and had quite a few helpings. After shoving our faces with meats and delicious things from the salad bar, we decided that we just weren't stuffed enough, so we had ice cream and brownies :) YUMM. After dinner we just spent the evening coloring pictures, talking and enjoying each others company. 
       Sunday was wonderful. I enjoyed many great lessons and talks at church. After church i decided i wanted to make valentines for people. So i went home and busted out all my baking and candy making stuff. I spent the whole day in the kitchen, singing along with the radio and watching Disney movies. I ended up make cookie lollipops, and chocolate suckers. Considering it was my first time making these, I think i did a decent job.

THE FINISHED PRODUCT!!!

         Monday ( the 14th) i spent all day at work helping couples feel pampered and relaxed. Surprisingly, it was a really fun day! the day flew by quickly and before i knew it the day was over! After work i went and enjoyed family night with josh and his family, It was so nice of them to let me join them on valentines day so i wouldn't have to be alone. We played games and enjoyed some delicious ice cream. it is probably one of my new favorite desserts! Vanilla ice cream with coconut and cinnamon. So delicious! I also opened the gift my parents sent me... a video camera!!!
      I am so thankful for all my friends and family who made this valentines so much fun! I am grateful for all that you do! I am looking forward to next years Valentines... lets see if it will be even better than this years.
