I heart Valentines Day!

Hey everyone! How was your Valentines Day? I hope it was great! We had a great one! It's hard when it falls on a weekday because Jordin works such long hours, but it was still fun.

Jordin said that all he wanted for V-Day was money to buy an axle for his Blazer, so I made him a candy axle! (With a little money to put towards his axle.)

Here are the pieces. I looked up a Dana 60 (the type of axle he wants) online to see what it looked like. There is a sucker in the middle and technically it should be larger, but it was the largest i could find. :)

Here it is all put together!  Pretty cool, huh?!

I added foil to make it metal. It's almost real-looking, right? Yeah, he loved it! :)
He came home with a gorgeous dozen long-stem roses and a BIG bag of dove dark chocolate candy. Mmm.
This color isn't altered at all. The flash got to it a bit, obviously, but mostly these are just the most beautiful roses ever!

I love V-Day!
My present is also getting my hair cut and colored! Yay! I told Jordin that because I can't buy new jeans because of my ever-expanding waist line, I will still feel nice looking by getting my hair done! Happy Valentines Day to me!!

.. And to all of you! ;)

In honor of Valentines Day, Let's celebrate what marriage really should be.


I found this video on a friend's blog and I thought it was great. It talks about what marriage really should be focused upon.  Now, for me at least, some of the doctrinal things talked about are a bit different than what I believe, but that doesn't take away from what the underlying message is. And it is delivered so beautifully. So watch!
Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day!

It's been a while...

Hello! It's only been over 2 1/2 years since I last posted. Nothing really has changed between then and now... except most everything! :...
