Month of February

Well, so much has happened in the last month and I promise that I will get to that, but first I need to get 

caught up.  Here is the month of February in pictures. 

This was me on Superbowl Sunday.  Brian and I put together awesome snacks to eat while we enjoyed cheering for the Saints.

Valentine's Day was on a Sunday so we decided to celebrate Saturday and Monday with each of us being in charge for the day of activities.  Brian planned Saturday's activities and here's what we did:

First we had lunch at the Paradise Cove restruant in Malibu.  We enjoyed some yummy seafood while looking out at the ocean.  I ordered coconut macadamia nut crusted shrimp and Brian got a couple of fish tacos.  The food was good!

And here's a picture of us at the beach after wards.  

We then drove to Thousand Oaks for some gelato at a place we both love.  Yum!  And we made a stop at Great Harvest a bakery that sells delicious breads and treats.  Brian offered to take me to see a Chick Flick at a movie theater, but I opted to watch a movie we had at home instead to save us some $$.  Movies in theaters are expensive these days.  It was a great day!

Unfortunately the day did not end very well.  My grandmother who had been put in the hospital Friday night wasn't doing well and I was called and told that she was going to pass away.  Brian and I headed to San Diego Sunday morning to be with my parents and I got to say goodbye to my grandmother.  She did indeed pass on Sunday evening.  I'm grateful I was able to say goodbye and that I could be there for my mother at this difficult time.

Brian and I traveled back to LA Monday afternoon and we decided to exchange Valentine's gifts and decided that I would plan our special day on another day.

I got Brian some chocolate, and the movie "UP".  I hadn't seen it yet, but I knew he liked it and I had a feeling I would too.  :)

Brian spoiled me.  He got me some sparkling cider, a box of chocolates, a movie, and then 2 beautiful cider glasses and an awesome apron.

Here we are with our cider in the new glasses.  Oh, and yes we wore red on purpose.  Ha ha.  

Brian and I also happened to celebrate our anniversary in February.  We decided to start dating (via long distance) on February 22, 2009.  I thought we had decided not to give gifts since we just celebrated Valentine's day, Brian got me another book!  I do love to read, so it was perfect!

And I think that wraps up the month of February. <3<3
