the post that keeps posting...

so as we all know, the outcome of the Superbowl didn't go our way...but that didn't mean we couldn't still have fun. we watched the game at our friend Daniels place with a bunch of our other besties....

Superbowl is a big day for us because way back in the day (2004) our first date was a Superbowl party at 'non other than' our friend Daniels house! then 4 years later i was proposed to on Superbowl Sunday AND the theme of my bridal luncheon was Superbowl. I'm guessing you get the point...I hate football? Nope! I love it!!





our spread consisted of tacos, cookies, brownies, buffalo chicken dip, pickles wrapped in cream cheese and beef, smokies, and veggies. i brought the healthy buffalo chicken dip and the wrapped pickles....which by the way needs a better name than stating how I made them and every ingredient....someone at the party mentioned they are called snake meat (or that could have been the screwdrivers talking?...doesn't really sound like the title of a recipe card I would get from my grandma)


Daniels was the perfect place to spend a snowy day...he lives in the country and has one of those barns filled with lots and lots of toys....aka...snowmobile & four wheeler!

i was so happy my mexican friends could join us

we all thought Bridgestone had the best commercials, hands down.

i'm sure i'll be getting a big THANK YOU text for posting those...

ryan had school and work on V-day, so we celebrated Sunday with a little Taco Bell To Go, while driving to Clinton to find each other gifts at the Antique Mall... i know, i know how romantic

i went home with some jewelry and a 1973 edition of Boggle, while ryan's treasures included a book about Adlai Stevenson and a batman belt buckle (not pictured)

that night my parents, siblings, grandma, aunt, and ryan & i went out for a V-day supper celebration. Rhys had to work, so that made our restaurant decision easy...off to Joe's we went! i didn't bring my camera, but i'll give you a little play by play of our night...

- we took 30 minutes to decide what to order, when it should have only taken 5 minutes because we always get a cheese and a pepperoni pizza...not sure why that night would have been different

- a couple fights broke out

- a pop was spilled

- rhys flashed us with his apron....twice

BUT something that I wasn't expecting was the Valentines Day gift from my dad. he passed out cards to mom, elizabeth, grace and i, and we were told to open them at the same time....

SUGARLAND tickets!!!
