Is it Spring break yet?

Justin and I had been hoping to go to Vegas for Spring Break. He turns 30 August 4, so it would have kind of been a birthday trip. Unfortunately due to all of my medical bills from my surgery in December, we are going to have to hold off on our trip. We still wanted to go somewhere and get away for a little while. So we decided to go to Minneapolis for a couple nights. I have never been to the Mall of America and have always wanted to go, so now is my chance. Spring break is still a month away, but I am already counting down the days. I love the kids in my class, but I will definitely be ready for a break!

Valentine's Weekend

I got my Valentine's gifts a day early. Justin gave me a pair of V-day pj pants, my favorite heart candy from the Hallmark store, and the book The Love Dare (from the Fireproof movie). Then we went out to eat to a Japanese restaurant where they cook the food on a grill in front of you. It was pretty good. Unfortunately when we came out of the restaurant it was snowing once again. I am so ready for winter to be over!!

Saturday we had a Valentine's dinner with my mom, sister and her family. My niece wanted to come home with us afterwards, so she came over to spend the night. Try sleeping in a bed with your husband, niece, golden retriever and beagle. Even with a King size bed, it was very crowded. Justin and Wrigley eventually went upstairs to sleep, which gave us more room and I could finally fall asleep.

Our dogs

Here are my two dogs. Wrigley is a golden retriever and almost 7 years old. Henry is a beagle and is 6 months old. They keep our life interesting. We finally had a nice day today (60 degrees) and got to take them out for a walk. Unfortunately there were a ton of puddles from the melted snow and our dogs were filthy, but they had a good time.

One more time

Justin and I finally got a new computer for Christmas, so I will be able to get on the internet more and update this. hopefully :)
