Valentine Boxes

We had so much fun making our boxes this year that I just wanted to show the finishing product.

HAPPY VALENTINES

I know this is a day late, but Happy Valentines Day! I hope everyone had a great day!I'm so thankful and lucky to have had my Valentine for the past 8 years. I can't believe it has actually been that long. Paul has been such a blessing in my life. I'm lucky to have him. This year we had a nice and relaxing celebration that is lasting through tonight. We went to dinner over the weekend so we can avoid the long waiting time just for dinner. Then on Monday we exchanged gifts and went to my mom's to a party my brothers were doing with our family and some friends. We made boxes and exchanged Valentines just like we were back in school. It was actually fun to get together and make the boxes though. Then most of us had chinese for dinner. Tonightwe are going out for massages. Paul needs one after all the studying and tests he has had this last week. I want Paul to know that I love him and don't need a holiday to prove it. I hope all of you had fun with your family and loved ones.

This month has been boring as usual, but I am proud to say that Paul found a job that is working with school schedule and we are finally going to have to stop worrying. For those who didn't know, the one he found in October didn't work out. We have been very lucky though. I'm in a rambling mood so I'm going to end this post now. Have a Great Day.

Rachaels Shower

This past weekend, my mother-in-law, sister-in-law Sarah, and I threw a baby shower for Rachael. I hosted at my house, Lynette put the amazing food together, and Sarah pretty much did everything else. She did an amazing job. She decided to do a jungle themed shower and bought the cutest decorations and made way cute name tags for each of the desserts. I really wish I got more pics through the shower, but most of the ones above are near then end and when our hubby's came to help with the clean up and stuff like that.

Rachael got a lot of great stuff. She got a ton of cute clothes for Drako, an awesome wrap to hold the baby, and many things she needed that a baby should have. One of the best gifts came at the end. Before Aunt Carol passed away she had started a blanket she was going to give to Drako, unfortunatley she was unable to finish it. The kids noticed as they were cleaning out her stuff. Our cousin Kathy decided to finish it and gave it to Rachael at the shower. She wrote the sweetest card and every single person was in tears at the end. It was a sweet thing to do.
