This year was different than others in recent years past because I had a valentine. Brent sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers (white daisy mums and pink roses--see above) at work. I was the only one to get flowers. :) Bella and I drove up to Hickory Friday night. Brent made a fire and we sat outside, sipping some mixed beverages while Bella had a hayday (haynight?) with the number of logs/sticks/twigs at her disposal; which, also provided us with nonstop laughter. Side story: Bella loves big sticks (ones that are much longer than she is). At one point, she tried to bring her "stick" (really a tree limb) into the house. She was coming in, but had the stick in her mouth so she rammed into the house with the stick. Priceless.
Saturday night, Brent came back from his game around 6:30 and surprised me with 8:30 reservations at Table 220, downtown. He was sneaky...He picked up flowers and took them to the restaurant to be put on the table before we arrived. Very sweet! :) After dinner, we stepped next door to the Tap Room for a couple brews before heading back to the house. Sunday, he had a game & I cleaned up the house a bit (since Bella's shedding like a beast!) before we ate lunch. Unfortunately, I didn't feel too great afterwards. He was very sweet and ran out for ginger ale and 7up. I stayed Sunday night too and got up in the wee hours Monday to drive back to Charlotte for work.
It was a great Valentine's Weekend up until Sunday night...even though Sunday night was still great since I got to spend more time with him. :) Sounds like everyone else had great Vday weekends too!
Next up: Cyst Removal (FINALLY!!) on Wednesday 2/25; NCISAA Basketball Championships @ Charlotte Country Day (Ravenscroft reunion?) 2/26; Bella to Banfield 2/27 to find out if she still has mange (even though she sure does love her drugs!)..& Chicago on Saturday 2/28! :)
