YAY Valentines Day! WOOO!!!!

I awoke to a bouquet of flowers, chocolate candy and the greatest “homemade” poem that I’ve ever laid eyes on. I have the best husband in the universe (and then some!). We decided that we are going to stay in and cook dinner rather than go out…it’s too crowded and expensive. We are going to do a “Stay-in” date with dinner and a movie.

Here’s my personal poem, trademark by Jacob Challis:

I hate our house but I love you in it
I hate babies but I love that you’re my baby
I hate most places but love whatever place you’re in
I hate this font but love that you always know the name
I hate our friends but I love that you will always be my best friend
I love rum…oh wait…this is my hate list….disregard
I hate everything but I love everything about you
I hate stuff but love that you’re HOT STUFF!!!
You’re the only person on earth that I could hate everything with…
and love everything about.
-Love Mr. Challis

PS – Jake doesn’t really hate our friends, but it worked well in the poem! 🙂

HAPPY VDAY EVERYONE!!!!!

It was a sub-zero temperature morning, and we definitely could have used more sleep, but we were excited to get to our warm destination. As soon as we got to the airport, however, it all went downhill.
