What a great weekend!

Friday night we went out with a bunch of friends for my birthday. We went to a place called Pete's Dueling Piano Bar, which is exactly what it sounds like it is. Two guys playing two pianos facing each other. They take requests, suggestions, and insults surprisingly well! At one point they called me up on stage to embarrass me by making me dance to "Head and shoulders, knees and toes." Thanks to my husband for ordering me drinks and my friends for all the shots!

Saturday we slept in a bit and then my husband surprised me with my Valentine's gift - tickets to see Stars on Ice! We spent a lovely afternoon together watching some pretty neat stuff (heck, half the gift was the fact that he was even willing to go to Stars on Ice with me!) Then we came home and Jason cooked a delicious steak dinner. It was the perfect way to spend the day celebrating our love by spending time together, just the two of us.

Today we went to church, then out to lunch with Jason's grandparents, sister and our nephew. I am absolutely in love with this little boy, and I can't wait until I can take him out and show him off to everyone I know! This afternoon we took our foster dog PB to get his rabies vaccine and then tonight met up with some old friends for dinner.

On the way home from dinner I was thinking about our 5-year anniversary coming up and how it doesn't seem like that much time has passed already. I think back to other relationships I've had (none of which ever made it this far) and how they all just seemed to lose something at the end (probably why it was the end for most of them.) I thank God that not only do I still love my husband, but I still want him to be around all the time. He's the only friend I've ever had in my life that I've never felt like we spend too much time together. Even though I know I'll see him every day when I get home from work, it still feels like a schoolgirl crush when he visits me at work because I get all smiley and excited. And even though I know it with every fiber of my being, it still makes my heart flutter when he says he loves me.

What a great weekend!
