~Valentine's Day~

Valentine's Day was so nice! Unfortunately, it was a Thursday so I did have to work, but I've listed a few reasons of why I enjoyed it.
  • No cooking - I have been very busy with school so it was nice to not have to cook. We went to Pho Hoa (Vietnamese Restaurant) and had Pho and Spring Rolls.
  • Walked Puppies - No we do not have any pets. But our friends Craig and Jaclyn have 2 cute little puppies (Oslo and Ingrid). They are currently out of town and we said we could help walk their dogs. They are soo cute! it was fun walking them around the block. In fact, Andy enjoyed walking them too. He was nervous at first but he liked it.
  • Movie - We watched the movie "No Reservations." It was really cute. I had a free movie rental coupon for Hollywood Videos so we rented it. In fact, it was the last one. I had to ask the front desk if anyone had returned one. It was my lucky day because they did have one. :)
  • My Husband - The best part was just spending the evening with my husband. I just want to let everyone know that I LOVE and APPRECIATE him so much. He doesn't give me flowers very often but I got a dozen white roses and a balloon from him. In fact, he had gotten off work early to buy it from Wal-mart. He told me he was on the 4:40 pm bus so I went to pick him up. As usual, I called him to see where he was. He said the bus was just exiting the ramp. As I was watching for the bus, next thing I knew is I see Andy running up to the car with the flowers and balloon in hand. It was soo cute! It is definitely hard for him to give me surprises since we only have one car and I am usually the one with the car.
Balloon and Flowers Andy gave me....

My gift to Andy...I made "roses" with hershey kisses and put it on his pillow the night before. It was fun to surprise him early. :)

Chinese New Year

So, to celebrate Chinese New Year, Andy and I decided to have a potluck party at our house Saturday night. It was tons of fun!! I made Chicken Lo Mein and our friends brought veggies, curry, and cake for dessert.

After we were done eating, we played 3 games. Andy worked very hard in putting it all together. We played Taboo with pictures, a price game (had to list 3 items from most to least expensive), and then the coach game. We started of with 10 people then the Whetten's joined us later. So, we played the coach game with 6 couples. It was very difficult but tons of fun. We played twice and the girls won! :) Unfortunately, the guys won the other 2 games.

Oh well. Anyway, it had been a while since we had a big party at our place like that so it was fun. We all had a great time. :) I'll have to post pics later.
