Happy Valentines Day

Micah and I started dating back in February of 2004. Our first Valentine's day was spent at Rizzi's (on State Street in Downtown Peoria) with our friends Chris and Jessica. It was a wonderful evening and Micah thought it would be romantic to spend our first Valentine's Day as a married couple at the same place. He had it all planned out just for the two of us, but then of course i suggested our favorite couple friends join us. And although i do not doubt it would have been a wonderful night just the two of us, it was an incredible night with friends (as always).
Everyone met at our house and we piled into our jeep to head downtown. When I say piled into the jeep, i do not like. There were 4 of us sitting on top of one another in the back seat. I would put a picture up BUT we were so smushed I could not use my camera. Once we got to Rizzi's we ran in as it was rather chilly, and were seated at our table (reserved by my oh so wonderful husband) We had a wonderful dinner with our usual random conversations, and then headed back to pile in the car. This time, it was a bit tighter as we were all fairly full.

Once we got back to our house we hung out and talked...and of course...played Dominoes (if you didn't guess that was going to happen, you have not read the last few posts :o) The TV didn't even get turned out. That's how you know you have wonderful friends. You are the entertainment for one another. I am so thankful for our friends and so glad we all live close enough to hang out 90% of each week. Yes, I just said that I was glad we live close to one another, which is probably as close to saying "I am glad I am back in peoria" as anyone will ever witness.

Jennie and Dave...this is Jennie's personality caught on camera. I believe the thumbs up are because she just kissed her hubby. haha Dave is such a good sport.We are so close we share husbands...haha Not really but it is not uncommon to hear Micah call Jennie babe and Dave call me babe. I think we are all together a little too much :o)Jennie and Micah being coolThe Guys being AWESOME sports with my picture taking. I think they are used to it by now, but they all actually smiled. We are still waiting for Dave to show his teeth while smiling, but a smile is enough to make us happy as of now.My favorite twins EVER. Love you both so much. Thanks for making the move back to IL enjoyable. I don't know what I would do without your love and support.

It was such a wonderful evening that Jennie and Dave ended up spending the night. Micah and Dave talked until 4:30 and Jennie and I are early to bed girls so we both fell asleep. Rather than waking Jennie, Dave just opted for staying in our guest room. Love good friends.

Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's day as well.
