Reflecting Back On Valentines Day

Flowers, cards with cute little poems, chocolates, and many other gestures of affections. Welcome to Valentines Day, the holiday to celebrate love. A day to show family, friends, and that special someone how much you care.

Valentines day is celebrated in many different ways. It made me curious as to how my readers celebrated yesterday. Those in a relationship, how did you celebrate? Did you get out and do anything special with your boyfriend/girlfriend? And my single readers, how did you celebrate? At the end of the night, how many of you were able to change your relationship status on things like Facebook? Please post below and let me know how you spent yesterday.

I spent yesterday from 7:30am to 3pm doing school. Then, I read a little and enjoyed some sketching. As of lately, I have been sketching more and more. Animals are the easiest for me to sketch, and they look the best when I am done. Haha, my people have an alien-like affect to them when I sketch them. Either animals or inanimate objects, I'll sketch, dependent upon my mood. Yesterday, I sketched animals. I did a little creative writing, and ended my artsy evening by jamming to some songs on my Ipod. My family and I celebrated our Valentines Day over dinner. Mom made awesome pizza. She has been experimenting some recipes on us. She made two pizzas last night, a BBQ one and a bacon/chicken/ranch one. Personally, the latter was my favorite. It had bacon, and (honestly) anything with bacon takes top place with me. Ever since my mom found out she couldn't have bacon (or anything pork, for that matter), we have had to make do without it. Which, has made me quite sad...

Anyways, Mom decorated and arranged some really cute cupcakes. Rose and Matthew handed out their handmade valentines. Rose performed a ballet, lyrical, tap routine for us, which was choreographed pretty nicely if I do say so. 

Then, I chatted it up on Facebook before heading to bed. There was a hockey game on last night, which held absolutely no interest of mine (even though I heard the Red Wings made history...). 

I didn't spend Valentines Day in any romantic way, with anyone 'special'. Trust me, I wanted to (secretly) (no, my family would disagree on the secrecy part...haha). I keep trying to tell myself to make it through at least high school... yet, I feel like that goal may be a little hard to stick with. So, I don't know, maybe next Valentines Day will be different. All a girl can do is hope.... :)

Anyways, post your adventures of yesterday!!!! Love to hear what ya'll did!!! 

Thanks for reading!!!

Hello Cold Weather!!!!

Hey Guys!
How are you? I am doing quite well.
How was your summer? Mine went pretty well.
I located a job this summer. At a hardware store. I know, I know, it doesn't seem like the first place a girl would go looking for a job. I have really enjoyed my time there, though. I have learned a LOT about hardware. Though, I'll be the first to admit, I am far from knowing an efficient amount about any of it. I did get to mix ten gallons of paint yesterday! And load 15 bales of straw! And carry four 40 pound bags of water softener salt! So, everything is going seemingly well. I've come to meet quite a few interesting people while I have been working at the store. Though, being one of the only girls working at the store, I have become butt of many jokes. Self-control is something that works quite nicely in a job like this. Haha! If I didn't have it, I probably wouldn't still have this job. It has it's good points, and it's bad points, I guess. In the end, though, doesn't everything?
Cold weather has finally come!! I don't know about you guys, but I missed it while it was away. It seems like it is never here long enough! I enjoy all that the winter brings with it. Christmas, skiing, and starting snowball fights. Curling up in fluffy blankets, with a cup of coffee, and a good book on cold nights. Mmm... so many good things come in the winter. ♥
Thanks for reading!!

A Look Back on Easter...

Hi Guys!
How was your Easter? Mine was amazing. We went downstate to visit with my grandparents, my uncle, and their dogs. It was really great seeing everyone again.
We left early Saturday morning, and we eventually made it to my grandparent's house by about noon or so. We did make a few stops along the way. We all visited for a little while, then the parents headed out. Grandpa, Connor, and I all left a little later. We were on a mission. Then, that trip got sidetracked as Grandpa's truck pulled into McDonald's. We grabbed goodies for everyone, then headed back. (No that was not our original mission)
We then enjoyed watching some movies, playing with the dogs, colored some eggs, took some naps (the grandparents and I), and ate a really good dinner (tacos!). Mom and Dad got back later, only for us to find out we didn't have the right set of dominoes for our late night game (Chickenfoot). Grandpa and I ran into town, retrieved the right set, and hurried home. Unfortunately, neither of us could claim a win that night.
The next day, (Easter) everybody got up and ate breakfast. We had colored eggs, bagels, and juice. Yum!
Then we all got in line for a shower, and cleaned up the house. My uncle arrived about 9:30 or so, into a very 'colorful' political argument between Mom and Grandpa. Ah, the holidays....
We followed our uncle's suit of being 'Switzerland'. We, then, helped set the table for Easter dinner. The smell of the ham baking slowly came around the house, giving a wonderful aroma. Soon, all sorts of delicious dishes made their way out onto the counter top. We all said a prayer then, in an orderly fashion, moved to fix our plates. By the end of the meal, our stomachs were full and we were all happily involved in conversation. We later  played a game a catch, Chickenfoot, and then basketball. As we approached evening ,though, my family had to say our good-byes. We had a long trip back up north.
In all, this Easter has made my favorites. We had so much fun!
Love you Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle D.j., Buddy, and Rocco!!
See you all soon!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all of my readers! Hope you have a lovely weekend!
