So I have this life-dream of getting myself a Sillouette cutting machine. These are amazing machines that make it possible to make a LOT of stuff. My problem for now is that I definitely don't have the funds for it right now... But a woman can dream right?! My how the possibilities are endless... However I have found a few giveaways on some of my favorite blogs. Check them out and see what this machine is capable of!

Happy Valentines Day!

There is nothing more romantic than the Valentines Day I had with my hubby this year... :) We realized that this is going to be the last official holiday that we will have alone... a crazy thought but we took full advantage!
My amazing husband found us a couple's massage deal for yesterday evening. It was a first time for both of us and I'll just say, we've been converted! There is nothing better for a poor aching body like mine than a slow, deep massage addressing each achy muscle's complaint. When she pushed on my hip it was like my body didn't even know my hips were tired and sore... but they instantly felt better... mmmm... It was wonderful and I highly recommend it to anyone, but especially any pregnant woman who might be thinking about it.
As we were up in the area, we stopped by to pick up an order of the Buca di Beppo Antipasta salad for our dinner at home. I made shrimp tortolini alfredo and we lit the candles. Oh so romantic...
The rest of the evening was magical... I had to finish grading papers for the class I TA for so Bryce got to watch the Super Bowl commercials online and play with the DVD recorder. I took a test and we went to bed. Pretty exciting... Happy Valentine's Day my love!

Showers of Love!
Yesterday my aunts threw their first baby shower! They did a fantastic job with the decorations and the delicious custard parfaits and cupcakes... mmm.... It was so fun to see family and friends that I haven't seen for a while and I am so very grateful for all the wonderful gifts that the baby got! He is definitely going to be the best dressed baby around! I admit, I was a little baby happy when I got home and had to go into the back room and organize the clothes and blankets around the crib... *blush* Big Bird came in to help a little but he mostly just chuckled at my excitement over the little pants and socks... :)
So a very public (at least to those who actually read this...) thank you to my dear aunts who planned the food and made the amazing diaper cake and planned the games. Thanks to all who came to support us in our family's little addition, and a most humble thank you for the gifts that will get us underway as parents! We (that includes the baby) love you all!
Now to figure out the name for this little bundle of energy...
P.S. pictures to come soon!
