Valentines day, early edition
We went on our valentines day date last night. You have to do these things early when you have to juggle working and birthdays and friends availability to babysit and MY GOING TO STITCHES WEST on Wednesday. (There, I said it, I couldn’t keep it in any longer, the excitement is just too overwhelming! Not to mention that I’m going with Joelene!!!)
Valentines day will be the NINTH anniversary of our first date. Yes, do the math, I was 15. Let’s not get into it. But I just have to say, nine years is a long time.
I came home from the yarn store to find this waiting for me.
He’s so sweet, huh?
We went and had a yummy dinner at Outback and then did what you do on dates when you’ve been together for NINE years: We went to Target and bought things, mostly for the kids. But you know, pretty much any moment we are children free, we consider to be a date. Sometimes Jim gets home from work and they’re both still taking a nap and we eat dinner together and marvel at how date-like it feels. Such is my exciting life. But I am going to STITCHES WEST!!!

Have the best time at Stitches – It’s the best fiber shopping… You’ll be awestruck, absolute sensory overload!

Yay for you and Jim! I have to say, I’m really jealous…I will be shocked if I even get to go out on a date for V-day this year…

I wish I could! I was going to work in a business trip but it doesn’t work out this year. That’s probably for the better…of my budget!

Oh I forgot to tell you. It’s The DOG who eats my yarn. The cats just carry the balls of it around.
