"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences."
-Gordon B. Hinckley

Will you be my Valentine?

Look at me! I'm blogging about something that didn't happen a month ago, but just this week! Crazy huh? ; )
Valentines Day is such a sweet holiday, I just love it. I did my week of Valentine gifts, candies and little notes for Brody in his Mail box (this years box had to be bigger, due to the gifts). He got plenty of fun little things he has been mentioning for a bit. : ) It is also fun to do!
He surprised me with this beautiful necklace!! I've been wanting one like this for a looooong time, but haven't seen one I really love.
This one...I love!! : )
Brody with one of his Vday gifts. He got some fun accessories for his iPad. : )

Then we headed up to the parks for dinner! We had such a nice dinner at Cafe Orleans, seated right by the walkway overlooking the 'Rivers of America', it was beautiful and very relaxing!

Splash under referb.....can't wait till end of May when it opens back up again! : )
Us on Gadgets Go Coaster in Toon Town. TT was empty, so we did a couple rounds on this....and found out it is the fastest ride in DL, clocking in at a whopping 25mph! We kinda believe it....space just feels faster than that at times! : )
Last ride of the night! We got in line 1 min before closing!


haha...I was blowing a kiss and he was pretending to catch it...but his arm was cut off!
I am so grateful for my Valentine and all the fun and joy he brings me each day! I am one lucky girl!!

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day!!!
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
We had a fun low key weekend---and it was just right. We went to dinner at one of our favorites, Pei Wei then got some Hot Chocolates and headed back home to watch the Olympics! : )
Brody is SO good at Valentines, Birthdays, Anniversary's and so on...He always picks the perfect cards and writes the sweetest things in it, everything is so very thoughtful. I do my best to keep up with him, and return the love : )
This year's idea: I got some heart post-it's and while he was at soccer I wrote some of the things I love most about him onto each one and stuck them all over his desk---with a balloon, candy and a single rose (a little inside joke). I kinda ran out of time (since he was on his way home) but it got pretty well covered. I also got him a really nice iPhone cover and holder he has had his eye on! I couldn't help but to take some photos while we were exchanging gifts....and then post them....he's just so cute! : )



Happy Valentines Day love!!! I love you so very much! : )

Dinner & Dancing

Happy Love Day!!!
I love Valentine's Day, it is such a sweet holiday! We had such a wonderful Valentine's Day! I finished up my '7 Days of Valentines' for Brody (where he gets a little surprise everyday) & I woke up to tons of rose's and a cheese bagel w/plain cream cheese, my favorite!! He is just so sweet & knows me so well! =) We then went to Brody's soccer game for the Semifinals & they won!! We are so excited and really hoping we can win league this session! =) Brody took a nice nap and then we headed up to Disneyland (for the first time in a little over a month) for some dinner at one of our favorite Mexican food places!
(I really can't explain the chip photo, except to say that we like to goof around)

After dinner we did what became our most favorite part of the whole day! They had this wonderful live band at the Carnation Plaza that was playing all the great big band love songs (I am sure those of you who have been, have seen bands like this there)! As we walked by they were playing 'The way you look tonight', how can you resist that song?...Brody asked me to dance & It was so much fun!! We just loved it, and ended up spending a lot of the night there! =)
There were plenty of young people out there like us who didn't really know what they were doing (but Brody did work in some moves...some dips and twirls & such), but there were also those who did know what they were doing, and we thought it would be so fun to know some basic dance steps! Not sure yet how we will do it, but we know we would love to. It was so neat to see some of the older couples who knew all these great steps---it made us want to someday be one of those cute older couples who can dance together like that! =)
After dancing up a storm we got some hot chocolates and jump on the train. We ended up getting off at Tomorrow Land and going into Innoventions, where they have all this new technology for your home and other things.
We ended up upstairs playing games! It was really fun!
See how focused I am? I'm racing! =)

We jumped back on the train and got to Main Street just as the fireworks started! =) It was just such a fun & magical night!! I am so grateful for Brody & all the love, fun & joy he brings to my life everyday! I Love you so much!! =)
