The necklace and earrings that I got from Ben. The earrings on Christmas, and the Necklace on Valentines Day. Smart kid! He said he was relieved that I liked the earrings since he got them at the same time!

Valentines Day. Dressed to go to Church then dinner (a surprise)


The Day before Valentines. The small rose with the little purple flowers was a gift I won from the Valentines Day dinner we went to to support the church youth group.

A close up picture of the earring necklace set as requested! These look red with the light of the camera, but in bulb light they look purple, and in natural light they are green with black and red flashes.

Alexandrite is a beautiful stone. If you want to see a better picture of what the stone looks like visit this site.

Valentines Day 2010

Valentines Day has normally been a day where I was by myself, and I sometimes did something nice for myself, or it just ended up like any other day.
This Valentines was different, the day before, I got some roses, and a box of chocolates, and then we went to dinner at a Church dinner put on by the youth group to earn some money to go on a church trip.
The next day, before church I was given a necklace that matched the earrings I got for Christmas, so I wore them both to church.
After church we came back home, warmed up some leftover pizza, and cuddled up to watch a movie. Then Ben sprung on me that he had made dinner reservations for that evening, and we needed to start to get ready.
He took me to a nice restaurant, and dinner was great. We had a really good time!
There were 2 other couples who were quite lively who entertained us by their antics as well.
So it was a Valentines unlike any other I have had for sometime! Thank you Ben for making it a great weekend!
I will post some pictures later!

Oh just a side note, I got him a subscription to the hot sauce of the month club 

Snow Day

What the heck!! I cannot believe this mess!

Snow in Dallas in February.

I went to 3 stores just to try to find some things for my fireplace which should be common, but none of them had it...They looked at me, smiled and said, it is February...we run out of wood/ and all fireplace items in December, and don't reorder.


Some pics!

A bush nice and green ready to sprout buds!
