Jamie and I usually don't make a big deal out of Valentine's day, simply because it's not our style, but I have a feeling Jamie has something really big planned this year.
I am getting really, really excited for Saturday night.
So, last night I made him these!
They are funfetti with Cherry icing!
He loves them!
And then today, I had a rough day.
I went to lunch for my student teaching, and, in a bad, rough area of the city, (38th and Emerson, for those of you who are familiar with it), 45 minutes from my house, I locked my keys in my car.
Yep. Seriously.
Luckly, one of the teachers from the school also went to lunch there, and he and another patron of that Subway were able to get it open with a wire hanger.
Yeah, I was definitely thanking God for that one.
And, some of the stories of where the kids in my class come from, what they have been through, and how much they are struggling were just really, really wearing on me. By the end of the day, I was an emotional wreck. (yes, part of that is from only having 4 hours of sleep. But still)
After school, I went to my parent's house, and we went out for my mom's birthday!
(Since it is after midnight, I guess her birthday was technically yesterday, but oh well.)
We went to their favorite sushi house, and they ate sushi, and I ate hibachi chicken.
My stepdad told the workers that it was her birthday, and this is what happened:
hahaha, good thing she is a good sport! My stepdad loved it. =)
Then, when I got home, this is what was waiting for me:
I love my husband.
These seriously made me smile so big.
Despite all of the bad things, today was a good day because it reminded me of just how lucky I am to have such wonderful people to call family.
I feel blessed.
