Valentine's Day Post

Well, I have no pics to post this time...I'll need to take a few for next week's post. Reagan had a Valentine's Day party at pre-school today and absolutely loved it. She is really into any kind of party. Aren't most kids? We made little treat bags to give away to all her classmates. She called the party her class was going to have a Valentine's Birthday party. I think she believes every party is some type of B-day party... who knows.

My grandfather passed away on Sunday. (My dad's stepdad) The funeral was today. It was good to see people I haven't seen in a while. But, my grandmother was very sad. My step-grandpa used to be the choir director of the church the funeral was held at...so the pastor chose to play a few hymns he had led back in 1984. Wow! I didn't realize he could sing so well. It was really neat to be able to hear him singing. - very moving. Austin, along with some other men, was chosen to be a Paul Bearer (sp?) He asked me what a "Pole Bearer" did b/c he had never heard of that before! :)
He had to sit at the front of the church to carry the casket in and out of the service. He was sitting on a row with all the other men and I thought, "Yea, he's definately the best looking, and he's mine!" :)....he looked sooo handsome in his suit!

We went out to dinner just the two of us Saturday night for our Valentine's Day dinner. Austin said it was a surprise. I asked him what kind of restaurant we were going to so I would know what to wear. He had made reservations at a pretty dressy place, but I guess he didn't realize how dressy it was. He had never eaten there before. I had, but it has been years ago. Anyway, he said he was going to wear jeans and a sweater. The only pair of my jeans I can wear right now have a few holes around the knee. They don't look bad, just very casual....So, I didn't know we were going to this certain restaurant, so I wore the jeans. HA! I was very under dressed. Luckly I could hide my legs under the table!! We had a lot of fun though. It's always good to get out ALONE! You'll never value your alone time more until you have children. And everyone said, "Amen!"

Enough of my ramblings. I will post some pics next time. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!
