All You Need is Love!

Happy Valentine's Day!  I know we need more than just love in our lives (like food, clothing, shelter, a means to provide for those things, etc.), but of intangibles- LOVE is what all of us need.  On this day of love I'm thinking of this quote by Maya Angelou:  "LOVE- Each of us was created of it ... and I suspect each of us was created for it."  I am so grateful for all the love I have for others, and I am just as grateful for all the love others have for me.  I know LOVE comes from God.  He loves each of us so much and wants us to love each other in return. 

Leonard and I are hoping to go out for Mongolian Barbecue tonight.  We were supposed to go two weeks ago for Chinese New Year, but I started feeling sick and he was just exhausted.  Hopefully, this time we'll actually make it out.  The kids are all having parties at school (and Hiram even got a Valentine from his friends yesterday  =).  We'll also be having some Nanaimo bars for dessert (I can't wait!).  It's snowing again today (we have so much snow!) and I wish I was at the beach like in my picture, but I hope we'll all still have a wonderful day!

Wedding Plans

I just booked my ticket to go home for this lovely couple's wedding and I'm so excited!  Lynn is my longest cousin on the Barlow side and she's like my second sister since our mom's are sisters too.  I went to high school with Scott, but we didn't know each other then- he was a Senior when I was a Freshman.

I'm bringing this little guy (who's not so little anymore) as my date.  He's also going to be the ring bearer.  I wish my whole family could go, but I'm just so excited that Teague and I will be!
