Love is in the Air!

Yep!... L-O-V-E seems to be completely surrounding me! The sweet sexy smell of cologne fills the air as I open the door from work. I've gotta admit, I absolutely LOVE burying my face in Josh's sweet smelling neck!! I'm sure he doesn't mind a bit either! ;) His bear squeezes are an assurance of his enduring love. His arms, just... somehow release the stress from a hard day at work or other anxieties!

We've planned a date for Valentines Day with our friend Kindra and fiance Franklin. It's the first time meeting Franklin, which I am thrilled about!

If a man can make my friend GLOW, then he must be a catch and keeper!

We decide to meet in the middle, which became downtown Fullerton. So far, the old mainstreets of a few cities we've been to have been great to visit! There is always selective choices of great food, shopping and relaxing nightlife.

Kindra was the one who could smell Cajun food from miles away! So, we tracked down the "Cajun Swamp" and enjoyed some seafood and lots of catching up on life! Of course Josh and Franklin couldn't and wouldn't stop talking about Peru (which was GREAT!), since Josh served his mission there and that's also where Franklin is from. I've gotta say, they hit it off pretty good!  Yep!... kinda like two girls would! But honestly their personalities are so much alike... just easy-going, hardworking, lovable men!

After some good din-din, we decided to try out a club that had a live latin-jazz band playing. I've never been to see any sort of jazz band, but I love music, so it was something new and well worth going to! The music fit the day perfectly, along with the sweet couple we were able to enjoy our time with!  I'm so thankful to have a hubby who is my longtime best friend, who puts up with my uncontrollable spazzy self, and is the absolute most amazingly wonderful man I've ever known!  I love you, my sweet Valentine!

gLuE SoUp!

There's nothing better than warm homemade soup when you're feeling under the weather!!  I'm so lucky to have a hubby that LOVES to cook and definitely takes excellent care of me when I'm dragging my feet and coughing up a lung... or two!! 
Now, I have to give him a hard time every once n' a while because he does think he is Mario Batali (Iron Chef Champion) most of the time.  So!... out of his BIG loving heart he decides to make homemade chicken noodle soup to help cure my nasty sinus infection.  Despite the fact he couldn't get a hold of his mom, who really is the "Iron Chef Champ", he decides to do it on his own.  Well, if you know that making roux for anything goes A LONG WAY, can you imagine what 2 cups of butter and 2 cups of flour did for his batch of soup???!!...  Bless his dear sweet heart, because.... LOL!... Yep!... it made Glue Soup!!!

This picture is actually what the ending results looked like! ;)
Maybe just a lil' less roux next time babe!.... like 3/4 less!! ;)  DON'T give up!.... Keep trying!..... You are a fabulous cook!!!  In fact... you are my lil' "Iron Chef Champion"!!!!
Thank you for taking super duper care of me, especially when I'm feeling like a sluggish, lung hacking piece of garbage!  I'm so lucky to have you!!!

Thought of the day:
"Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'..........

I'm lucky to say that... this is the man I married!!!!
