Our Valentine's

We got home from our trip on Friday night, and had plans to have dinner and a movie on valentines...but of course that can always change. I got food poising on sat and was basically stuck at home. Nick was so cute, he got me a huge bottle of lemon lime soda and stuck by my side the whole gross and yucky time. What a true guy! So on presidents day we both had it off and after we got the house back together and did some errands we went to lunch at Red Lobster and saw a chick flick. It was so fun. I really do have an amazing husband, I love him so much. If have met him, you know that he is truly a caring and sweet person! Love you Babe!!!

Our ship

This was our last night on the cruise


Last week Nick and I went on a cruise with Nick's mom and brother. The trip was really amazing. I saw the many beautiful things and had such a wonderful time. It was really in every way a VACATION. We got nice and tan, but ate every thing in sight. It's funny what a girl does for this sort of thing, I worked out hard, I got my hair done, went tanning, even did some touch on whitening my teeth. Though while I was there all I could think about was how much fun Nick and I were having.

We went to the Bahamas and did so many exciting things. We did the sea-doo's around the ship on one island, while on another went snorkeling,kayaking and dolphin watching. They were both so much fun. I loved The sea-doo's, I have never done any thing like that. Though I did feel as though I was about to fall off every moment. Then the kayaking was so cool, there was sting ray every where in the water, and the snorkeling was just shocking. On top of having so many fish up close in cold water in the ocean, a shark swam under Nick and I. We loved that! Then, last we went dolphin watcthing. They were so playful! They were like dogs rolling around at the surface of the water. They were jumping and yet swimming so elegantly. I loved seeing them just swim in such a natural way.

Of course with the ship there was the food. I had worked out hard and decided I was not holding back! LOL, and I didn't! Nick I and both thought we had each gained 5 or so pounds from all the delicious meals and treats. But when we got home I only gained 1 and Nick only gained a couple. But what's funny is I got food poisoning the day after getting home and lost 4 pounds. We had a good laugh over that one. (food poising not from ship, from airport food*)

Our trip was amazing and I was so grateful to spend time with my wonderful mother-in-law and brother-in-law. They were so much fun. It was a great trip with so many memories.

Super Bowl CAKE

I am not a big fan of eating cake, but I sure love decorating them!

I had to look up online who was actually playing and what there colors were

For the big game I decided to make a super bowl football cake! I had so much fun with this cake. It was easy and fun to decorate. Plus, I even made little end post with cardboard and foil.

But besides the game, that sunday was great because all of us kids were there to give a very late, but thoughtful christmas gift. As siblings we all came together and made a book with some of my moms favorite recipes. It also had a message to both of our parents with pictures of all of us about and said how much we love them and how grateful we are for all the wonderful things they do for each one of us.

A Good Cause

For the past couple of months I have been saving all of my yogurt pink lids. For every lid sent in a donation is made towards the Susan G Koman for a Cure for Breast Cancer. Plus I really just love yogurt!
