Sooo.... it's been a while since I've posted a new blog! I forget I have this thing.... (Like, anyone really reads this anyways. ;))
I had a pretty wonderful Valentine's Day. Gavin and I started out our day like normal. Wake up, eat breakfast, clean up, and get ready for the day. Gavin had some Valentine's cards he needed to deliver so in the car we went. Our first stop was Frontier Middle school to see Mimi. She was very surprise when Gavin walked through the door. He loves his Mimi but since there were a few kids around her desk he wasn't so sure. Once Mimi called him over he went running to her. He handed his Mimi his Valentine's Day card that was for her and Papa and gave her a big hug and kiss. He saw a few other adults in the office that he recognized that he seems to be fond of. There was even a pretty blond girl hanging around my mother in laws desk in the office and Gavin REALLY liked her. He kept going up to her and wanting her to hold him. He's so funny. He loves older women and if they're blond then that's even better. He's had a type since he was about 7 months old. =)
After that we went over to my mom's house. My mom had just has surgery on her neck on the 10th and I hadn't been over to see her since she returned home on the 11th. He was excited to see his Bestemor. He was excited to give his card to her too. Bestemor gave him a wonderful card with a small box of chocolates that contained three pieces of candy. We had a nice visit and I'm glad my mom is doing a lot better than we expected.
Afterwards, Gavin and I went to Safeway to pick up some last minute things for dinner. I was so happy I went to Safeway instead of going to Harvest foods. I ran into two friends I hadn't seen in a way. Makes me wish I was better at being more outgoing to see friends. Afterwards, I was starving and knew I couldn't wait until dinner so I stopped by Taco Time to grab something small to tide me over. However, I didn't find out until the next day that the lady at the window never gave me back my card. I called and they said it wasn't there. It wasn't in my wallet, diaper bag, or anywhere else in my car. I went in today and told them they still had it and they told me they couldn't find it. The wonderful lady at the drive thru stole my card. Still waiting to see if any charges come up on my account that I didn't make. Card is canceled and I should be getting my new card in about a week. Hopefully!
After I got home, I got Gavin down for a nap. Ate my food and started to prepare dessert. Strawberry shortcake. Weight watchers friendly too. Got the strawberries chopped and in the fridge to chill. About 30 minutes before Matt got home from work I started preparing the veggies. Asparagus, zucchini, squash, onions, and garlic. Chopped up some red potato's and seasoned them with some Citrus Basil rub. Oh man... it was so yummy. However, I don't think anything could have tasted better than the T-Bone steaks Matt cooked on his brand new grill. Everything tasted so amazing and I'm so happy that I bought Matt that grill for Valentine's day. Such a great investment.
Now, Matt and I opened our gifts on Friday the 9th. This is because Matt (and Gavin) bought my gift and put it in the trunk of my car. He told me not to look in the trunk but he also had mentioned he might take my gift with him to my brother in laws house so I wouldn't get curious and peak. Well, my sister in law Mandy and I were at my mother in laws house dancing our buns off to Just Dance 2. Gavin was getting cranky and it was getting late and so I thought it was time to get going home. I had to take Mandy home since Matt and Chris went back to Chris and Mandy's house to watch a movie. We go to get into my car and it won't start. Great.... I forget completely about the gift and I go to grab my jumper cables and there was a CD player for my car. (Yes... my car only had a tape deck) Matt paid for the CD deck and even scheduled the install for me. How amazingly wonderful! It was such a wonderful gift. I've had the car for four months. I inherited it when Matt's grandfathers passed away. Four months of dealing with crappy radio stations.
I bought Matt a video game for his PS3, a nice BBQ grill, and a $50.00 gift card to Starbucks. I scored on the BBQ grill. Matt picked it out because since he's the one that will be grilling I felt that he should tell me what he wanted. He happened to pick one of the nicest ones that we could find at Walmart. So, you know our selection was awesome. However, the one that Matt wanted was on sale for $75.00 and they only had one left.
Gavin got a cute little stuffed dog, but he was more interested in playing with his card and pretending to read it then he was in his dog. Such a cute and silly boy. So.. there was our special day. I hope you all had a pretty enjoyable day and hopefully no ones debit cards were stolen other than mine! =)
