Is it Over Yet?

I've decided that February is the worst month of the whole year, which is why it is the shortest. If it were any longer we'd all go crazy. It's the month where everyone is finally sick of winter and just waiting for spring. It seems like it is always gloomy and everyone is always on edge. I can't exactly explain it but I just know I've decided I don't like it. The only good thing about it is Valentine's Day. I think it's great there is such an uplifting holiday right in the middle of the month - it just helps make the last half that much more bearable. So....seeing as I never posted about our Valentines I thought I would, to celebrate that February is finally over!! We went with our friends Chase and Raquel to a really nice restaurant called M. There is a guy (Cameron Mitchell) out here that is very well known for all of his restaurants so far all of the ones we have been to have been great. M is his most upscale one and we had tons of fun!

I actually got to spend a nice night out with my hubby for once, it was awesome! They even gave us this semi private room for just the 4 of us which made it that much better!

As you can see Shayne was very excited about the half of a cow they brought to him!

This was my delectable chicken dinner, it just melted in my mouth!

And for dessert? Creme brulee, sooooo good!

This was the decor in our little room, wasn't quite sure how I felt about it, I'll let you decide for yourself.

I know, I know I am easily excited and had to take a picture, but this is what we found in the women's bathroom, all sorts of fun stuff. Now that's what every women's bathroom should have don't ya think!

To top off the night, here we are poor students at a really nice restaurant. We had to valet park our mercedes (did I say mercedes? I meant 4 runner - I tend to get those two confused) Well, we went out and the valet guys said they couldn't get our car started. Besides the fact that it was a bit embarassing, Shayne's car ended up needing a new starter and battery. Thought that was nice of the old runner to wait until then to let us know! All in all, it was a great night with awesome food and friends, thanks guys we can't wait to go back.

Card Making

Raquel and I have been meaning to make cards forever. She kept telling me she had done it before and I have wanted to learn, so on Saturday night we decided to give it a whirl. We heard Joann's was having a sale and so we went and bought a few fun tools (an embosser and crimper) to help us with our cards. It was tons of fun making cards and listening to the old Whitney Houston classics, we may have even sung along to a few! Here are some pics of our first effort, not quite "stampin up" material but we did the best with what we had. I dare say this just may have to become a permanent new hobby, it was tons of fun and I can't wait to do it again - thanks Raquel!

These are Raquel's masterpieces - way cuter than mine!

These are the cards I made - ok I guess for a first attempt. I hope I can only get better!

FIRZLENIFFLENOFF

This is my brosky Scott, aka Firzlenifflenoff (don't ask) and today is his 24th birthday. Since I don't think he ever looks at our blog he will probably never see this, but regardless I wanted to take a minute and wish him a very Happy Birthday. He is the best little bro and I love him lots. Ladies he is even single still, so those of you still looking, he's a great catch. He is always making everybody laugh which I really miss, thank goodness for webcams! So...my much bigger little bro thanks for all you do you're the best and I hope you have a great day - wish I could be there with you to celebrate.

HAPPY 24th BIRTHDAY FIRZLENIFFLENOFF!!

Work OR Play?

That's exactly what I was wondering while Shayne and Chase were working on their wax ups for school. Using little tools, fire, and models of teeth to sculpt stuff sure sounds and even looks like it might be fun! However, after seeing these guys at work I have a new appreciation for what they do all day in the lab. Although it may look fun it is very tedious and time consuming. I am proud of them for how hard they work and it was fun to finally see what they do all the time since all I ever did before was hear about it. At any rate since they have to work so hard on all these projects, I hope they are having a little fun while they're at it.

The Day of L-O-V-E!

(I realize this pic is from Christmas but it's the only one I could find at work and besides he looks super cute in it)

This is my hotty husband, Shayne, and I just wanted to tell him Happy Valentines Day and let him as well as everyone else know how much I love him. These are just a few of the things I love about Shayne (in no particular order) thanks for all you do babe
