Happy Valentine's Day!

So, Dan and I dropped T-Bone off at my parents at 11:15 this morning and jetted off to the movies. What a blessing that it wasn't packed nor were there very many kids. We saw 'Friday the 13th', my gift to Dan. Not that I didn't want to see or that I didn't enjoy it - we just never see things when they first come out. But, since we DID run off to see the Zombie re-make of 'Halloween' for me, it was only fair. It was GREAT! A bit gratuitous in it's sex and nudity...to say the least, but aren't ALL the 'Friday the 13th' episodes like that? We had soooo much fun watching it. I grew up on horror movies, thanks to my older brothers. I LOVE them. I've made it one of my "pilgrimages" to find movies I've yet to see that are actually scary. But, after I lost Ebed to such a violent accident, it's been difficult to watch gore and death. Of course, I slowly got to where I could watch again. But, alas, pregnancy and the journey into motherhood has changed me yet again. I can watch the prelude to the violence and I can watch the aftermath, but I can't watch the act. So, we had lots of fun with me curled up in my seat, prepped to cover my eyes up to avoid the "act". I've NEVER been that "girl" in the audience. Now I am. Strange, huh? Afterwards, we went to Spring Creek BBQ to catch a bite and then stopped by the 31 Flavors to get a snackity-snack-snack. I just loooove that Creole Cream Cheese with some chocolate sprinkles. Another gift from my son is my ability to have dairy products again - although the ability to gorge myself on ice cream and cheese cake isn't necessarily a good thing...

We're on the countdown for our second anniversary. It's just too cool. I know we'll have many, many, many more of these. I hope that we will be fortunate and blessed enough to both see our 40th just like both of our sets of parents are celebrating this year. What great examples they are! I'm looking forward to our night of super-cajun broiled crawdaddies and, perhaps, a 3D horror flick that I've been dying to see. I'm so excited. As much as I miss my T when weren't not together, it's really, really sweet to spend alone time with just Dan. We've always thoroughly enjoyed each other's company over anyone else (of course, Troy is in a different league than others) and I look forward to enjoying more of it.
