Why we celebrate Valentines Day.

For most, "Valentines Day" is a celebration of one's love for his/her sweet heart, and though we celebrate this too, we also celebrate it for another reason. You've prabably already guessed.(the pictures are obviously a dead give away) Our second son Maddex was born on Valentines Day of 2007. I've never received a better Valentines gift, nor will I ever. Besides, what on earth is more intimate and full of love than bringing a child into the world, that together husband & wife have made? So thankyou Brandon, for my Valentines gift. It's one that will last forever. Andrew thanks you too, for giving him his best friend. He's been the best big brother in the world. So this Valentines, we will be celebrating the love of a family.

PIPE BREAK!

So we had a pipe freeze & break in the night, which I discoverd at about 6 o'clock in the morning. Standing at the top of my stairway, I could hear the sound of gushing water, and at that moment, I new exactly what had happened. My husband, father, & father- in-law all working graveyard shifts were all unavailable & unreachable, so I ended up calling my savior of a brother in law, Kevin to come & help me. (bless his heart).
Note to women : Know where & how to turn your house water off. It may be very helpful in times of need.
So now I get to do what I've been wanting to do for some time now: remodel my downstairs!(and we only had to pay a $500 deductable)
Bye-bye ugly wall paper & hidious forest green carpet, hello freshly painted walls & the glorious aroma of new carpet.
