Valentine's Day

Jared and I celebrated Valentine's Day twice I guess you could say. We had some movie tickets and a Chili's gift card, so we had a date on Friday night almost for free! Can't beat that :) We enjoyed some delicious dinner at Chili's and then headed over to the new MegaPlex in Centerville and watched "The Vow." It was a good movie, but I wished the ending would have been a little bit better. It was still fun to get out of the house and enjoy a 'night on the town' before our little one gets here.

Here's a self portrait of us before heading out the door on Friday. I hadn't realized how chubby my face has gotten too! Good grief! My eyes squint up WAY more now than they normally do!

I got a delivery at work on Valentine's Day from my sweetheart. He had these beautiful tulips sent along with a very very sweet note. They still hadn't bloomed when I got them, but over the past few days, they started to bloom. They're gorgeous!

And inside the box was this note in an envelope that said someone was thinking about me. I sure am one lucky lady to have this wonderful man as my husband forever!

Jared had school on Tuesday night, so he stopped at home for about an hour to get some stuff done and then he headed up to school. He usually gets home around 8:30, so while he was gone, I ran to the store and picked up a few balloons and a yellow rose and got the table set with some candles and our etched glasses we got for our wedding.

We enjoyed a nice dinner of homemade lasagna, garlic cheese bread, and sparking red grape juice. It was great to spend a fun evening with Jared. All in all it was a great Valentine's Day for both of us!

Almost finished!

Our nursery is coming along great! We found a new pack n' play on clearance at Shopko and a nice 3 piece furniture set at Wal-Mart. The set included a crib, changing table and dresser. We've gotten most everything else out of Alexander's room, so now it looks more like a nursery! :) We're very excited and we're down to 11 weeks, which seems SO crazy!

Here's a picture of the crib and the changing table

Looking in at the crib and rocking chair

This is the AWESOME Broncos blanket my friend Linda at work knitted for Alexander. He's going to love it (if Jared will ever let him use it) ;)

Here's our clearance pack and play. It's also got the raised bassinet which we love.

And last but not least, a picture of the rocking chair again and the dresser as well. The dresser was horrible to put together, but we finally got it. The crib was super easy to get together, but I put it together in the living room, only to come to realize it wouldn't fit through the door to his room! So we unscrewed it and put it back together once we took the pieces into his room. All in all, things are coming together.

We have our baby class at McKay-Dee on Saturday and then Rachel's throwing a shower for me later this month. We can't believe in 11 short weeks our little bundle of joy will be here!
