It's almost Valentine's Day Eve!

Hunter sat nicely tonite so I could get a Valentine's Day picture. What a cutie!!

This was a meme that was posted online that I thought would be fun for Valentine's Day.

Speaking of my mate....Here he is with me at our Christmas Party this past year.

Hunter celebrated Valentine's day at school today since he doesn't have school on Thursday. It's a teacher work day. He took some Diego Valentines in for his friends. He got some really cute ones in return. I think my favorite was the one that said "God made you special". How true is that! I think we're the special ones because of God's love. He is so gracious and kind. I thank him so much for this baby. We're so thankful for this little girl, and our little boy, and good health and a roof over our head. All the things that we have and take for granted. It's not about us, it's Christ in us.

The week is flying by, it's going to be WEDNESDAY already. I have an early morning meeting, a couple errands to run on my lunch hour and then, going home to clean up a bit. We're not going out Thursday night but a family night at home would be nice. Mike and I are planning to go to Dinner on Friday to celebrate Valentine's day, when it's not so crowded. I just don't want to fight the crowds on the actual day. Mom and Dad said they'd keep Hunter Man so I think we're planning to go to Olive Garden. (MAYBE to Coldstone Creamery afterwards, since I have a coupon) It's just nice to have a night out, once in a while for a "Date Night". I'm looking forward to it!

I'm going to go get ready for bed. I need to iron some clothes before going to sleep. I can hardly keep my eyes open now. I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday. (It's Hump Day:)
God bless!
