Valentine's Day 2011

John and I were able to go stay with some family over Valentine's Day weekend (Friday morning through Monday evening) for a couples getaway. It was wonderful! The kids all stayed here with Grandma Sue all weekend and it sounds like they had just as much fun. Our first date was 14 years ago, yesterday, so it was nice to be together all weekend. We relaxed, played cards and games, went to see a movie, went to a Swap Mart (flea market), ate out and took some couch naps. A special thanks to the Grothes (and John's grandparents) for letting us stay with them and hang out with their family all weekend. It was a huge blessing! We love you all very much! Oh, and thanks to United who gave us vouchers in Hawaii last Feb when were stranded there. That's the other reason this trip was possible. We don't plan on traveling much now the rest of the year :) But happily await a few visitors this Spring and Summer!

Ahhh, some time alone. Having a new baby postpones that dream for me for at least a year! It seems you were in AZ? Next time, (if ever) you are in the PHX area, give me a holler!
I am impressed by your DR experience. My sister did an internship there, teaching about bathroom hygiene. SHe loved it!

Alexis, we should have met up with you. We stayed in Queen Creek and it was beautiful there - 78 and 80. We might go back this summer and if we do, I'll give you a call. Sounds fun. Your son is precious, I just caught up on your blog.
