February 14th

My beautiful cupcake bouquet. Thanks Husband! Thanks Amber! (for making it so pretty and tasty)

The actual Valentine's Day was perfect. Sweet and Simple just how I like it :) Love you babe!

Valentine's Day & More!

Today is February 12! In my book, that is Valentine's Day! Dan and I have always celebrated on the 12th because we hate how busy everywhere is on the 14th. However, since Vday falls on a Monday it this year it was a lose-lose situation. Everywhere was busy on a Saturday night! We started the night off at Charlie Chow's. Have you ever eaten there? It's just this little hole in the wall place in Salt Lake that I would have NEVER thought to go except Dan took me there on our very first date and I have loved it ever since! I highly recommend it to EVERYONE!

I meant to take a picture when the plate was full but I destroyed these with a quickness. Make sure you get the cheese wantons! DELICIOUS

After we ate dinner we went and watched the fights with Dan's brother and his family at his mom's house. Good times, it's always so fun to see everyone. 

ALL FINISHED! Due to overwhelming response on wanting to see house pics, I FINALLY have some for everyone! I took them for my grandma and figured I might as well share so I don't have to keep emailing them out.

There we have it! I love our cute little house! 

What else have I missed? A lot of things... but I need to get better at taking pictures. I suck. Last week I went to work in Idaho for a few days... the only thing I have to blog about that is this:

This was taken around 6:45 am, Ellie is actually afraid of cars but that morning she jumped in my car and wouldn't get out, she either thought she was coming or I wasn't going. It was tender.
Ellie....
How's Miss Ellie you ask? Since that is ALL I seem to talk about, let me inform you of how our little mutt is doing. I think you all know she got over her pneumonia and kennel cough. Thank god....never thought I saw a light to that tunnel. She was doing really well until Thursday when I took her in to get spayed...

It was quite the dramatic day for this little one. As usual, the anesthesia they give her (and most dogs) causes her to throw up for hours on end and then drop 10 lbs and go back to her starved, unhealthy looking self. I promise we do feed her. 

Over the past few weeks, she's also started getting bald spots so she's even more attractive to look at as if we abuse her. I figured it was food allergies since it started to appear when we switched her food. Nope... turns out she has the worst case of "mange" the vet has seen. Awesome. So now she gets to eat her food with this medicine we have to 'shoot' in with these weird things. You name it, Ellie's got it or will soon have it. If you ever need a dog medication- our house is the place to be. 

Other than that she is doing really good. She loves to ruin anything her eye catches and ripping things apart is her favorite thing ever.... here are some examples.

She actually felt pretty bad about ruining this one, due to the fact it was her favorite.

We had to take off their bed cover to wash since Ellie got sick on it and this is how she reacted to that...

Brandy's Duck...RIP

Her frog is now a piece of cloth. (I had already picked up the cotton before I decided to take a pic)

She got a hold of the candy bucket and smuggled down some Kit Kats, Ding Dongs, Ghiradellis, and other sweets. For some reason, no she didn't die from all of it.

That's all I have for now. I'm loving life! I'm so happy and hope everything continues to be great!
