Things I Love About Valentine's Day!

I know it is not Valentine's Day yet, but I gear up for this day. It is my favorite day of the year!

10. The Chocolate. You can't beat the cute heart shaped delightful tasty treats that you get on Valentine's Day.

9. The colors and decor. What girly girl, like myself, doesn't love pink and red? I just recently purchased a little heart garland type thing that says Be Mine in little hearts. It is just cute! Not to mention the new cupcake dish towels that Court and I both separately purchased from Target. Great minds think alike :)

8. Sending Valentines. It makes me think of the "good ol' days" in elementary school when you gave everyone in your class a little Valentine and you had decorated mini mail boxes for your treats.

7. Getting dressed up and going out to dinner. Always a fun and romantic event.

6. The no fuss holiday. Unlike Christmas, Valentine's Day is relaxed, and you get to stay home if you want to!

5. Cupid. The idea of cupid is endearing in a weird sort of way. A mini man/baby in a diaper shooting arrows at people; making them fall madly in love. What crazy wack-a-do dreamed that up? Sounds like my kind of imagination!

4. Heart Shaped Pizzas at Papa Johns. I sent one to Greg at work last year. He loved it!
3. The Flowers. What girl doesn't love getting flowers? The outdoor speed checkout line with the tent at the grocery store always makes me laugh too.

2. The memories. I will never forget when Greg proposed on Valentine's Day in 2005. The snowy journey Greg took to Waco with my first Tyler Roses in the front seat in 2004. I also love thinking about the giant stuffed dog, chocolate and white roses with mini daises he got for me on our first Valentine's Day together in 2003. They are some of my most precious memories of our relationship.

1. And my favorite thing about Valentine's Day- My husband. I have so much love for my Greg. He makes my life so wonderful that it seems like it is Valentine's Day everyday!

The Nice Wife Award Goes To...

This weekend started off as any other- Friday night Greg and I went out for a dinner date, slept somewhat late Saturday, met the girls for a movie (27 Dresses is a MUST SEE), and then things took a crazy turn.... Greg and I bought an orange Corvette! Greg is one happy husband, and I am pretty happy too. I like to make him happy, and I know that I am next! So goodbye truck and hello Corvette! Woo hoo!

My Tribute to Friendship

"The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. I have no wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?"
- Henry David Thoreau

"The world would be so lonely, in sunny hours or gray. Without the gift of friendship, to help us every day."
- Hilda Brett Farr

"In a friend you find a second self."
- Isabelle Norton

"I do not wish to treat friendships daintily, but with the roughest courage. When they are real, they are not glass threads or frost-work, but the solidest thing we know."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Friendship? Yes Please."
-Charles Dickens

Over the weekend...

My parents treated us to a fabulous belated birthday dinner for Greg at Four Winds Ranch and Steakhouse in Wills Point. Numerous people have said it is the best steak they have ever had, and we agree! We had a lovely time, and here are some photos. Hope your weekend was as tasty as ours!!!

Sweet Nathan

Little Nathan Andrew is growing up so fast! He is too cute! I got to hang out with Christie and her two boys on Tuesday. We vegged out, had pizza and watched American Idol- good times!

Mr. and Mrs. Moreman Go To Washington

Sometimes my job has perks, and this is a good perk! They are sending me to a foundation conference in Washington DC! The conference is at the Gaylord National, which will be brand spanking new in May! Woo hoo!

We leave for DC on May 3rd, and the conference starts the next day and lasts until noon on Wednesday. After the conference, we are going to switch over the the historical Omni hotel in Dupont Circle- which my DC travel guide Jaran said was a fun area. I got the world's greatest deal on Hotwire for the hotel- which means more shopping, fun dining and a trip to the spa! Greg is joining me for the entire trip! He is going to make himself busy while I am at my conference by visiting the Spy Museum, Library of Congress and other places Jenny doesn't mind skipping out on.

I have already talked to our congressman's office and they are working on tours of the White House and the Capital for us. I am a planning freak when it comes to vacations. I like to know everything about everything when I go somewhere. I don't necessarily have to have everything planned out when I get there, but I like to be an information guru when we want to do something.

If you can't tell, I am pretty excited. Greg and I had an amazing time in San Francisco last year for a similar conference, so I have a feeling this one will be just as good if not better!

Greg Turned 31! Woo Hoo!

We started off the evening at a romantic dinner at Villa Montez, and then it was home for cake and presents. We had a great time!

As promised- here are the pictures. Yeah! I think he really liked that I picked a blue dog theme. Greg doesn't know what Blue's Clues is- so he was pretty impressed that I found a blue dog balloon! Notice the chair he is sitting in, that was his big prize. He is a happy boy!

Happy Birthday Greg!

It is my sweet Greg's 31st Birthday! Just for fun- here is a picture of him as a baby! Wasn't he sweet! He is all grown up now! I got him a puppy dog themed cake. I have a feeling the lady at the bakery thinks that Greg is turning 7 and not 31! Oh well, it is cute!

Jimmy Gets A Wife!

What a fun weekend Greg and I had in Dallas! Greg's best bud Jimmy got married to the very sweet Rebecka at the Four Season in Las Colinas. We had a wonderful time! It was so good to have Greg back with all of his friends! We really need to make more of an effort to spend more time with them!

A Little Reflection on 2007 and Some Hope for 2008

What an amazing year it has been! I can't tell you how much one year can change an entire outlook on life! I found out who true friends are, and how to really love someone when they need you most. I've also learned to be happy with myself now, and who I am becoming. I even got to help bring a new life into the world! Truly Amazing!!!

Another blessing this year has been my sweet new dog Oscar. I can't tell you what a good friend he has been to me- not to mention a work out motivator! Whoever thinks of their dog as just a dog must not have a dog like Oscar. So much unconditional love and trust- I love him!

I am excited to see what 2008 has in store. I feel like my life is headed in the right direction, and I need to keep my faith in Christ and know that He is in control. My wish for this year is that my loved ones are happy and healthy. I also hope to spend more time with my Greg and travel the world with him!





It has been a crazy year, but the sun is rising and it is going to be a great 2008!

Humor Me

Yeah, I am easily humored. Greg and I love these cats!

Life is so good!

I am taking a moment out of my busy day to say- I am thankful, and that Life is GOOD! I have a wonderful husband, and we have great jobs, amazing friends and a strong family. There is not a day that goes by that I don't thank the Lord for what I have, and I must learn to not take it for granted. I know that He is the reason that my life has worked out the way it has.
