Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! Happy Chinese New Year! Happy Daytona 500!

I thought I needed to post about a holiday other than Christmas. :) Matt and I really celebrated Valentine's Day yesterday. I would hate to try to go to a restaurant today with all of the other people that don't want to cook tonight. We went to Tree Steakhouse for dinner last night and then stopped by a Redbox and got "The Proposal". Matt really wanted "Zombieland" because he heard it was really funny, but they were out and we both enjoyed "The Proposal" anyway. Matt also got me flowers, a Carebear (he picked it because he said it looks the most like Simba), and a card and I got him a couple of cards that we have yet to open. Maybe we'll open them after our Valentine's Day dinner, Papa John's pizza. Yum!!

A third Christmas post!

So it's Christmas all year long in the Wurdeman household! I have a 4 day weekend because Friday was our winter break and Monday is President's day. I decided that I was going to use this weekend to finish my Christmas tree skirt. I only had 2 snowmen and 2 letters left to outline. I have no idea why I didn't finish it before Christmas this year, but I think it's because Lisa got me hooked on Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook. Anyway, I was making such good progress on it yesterday morning that I decided I would finish it that day. After 4 years (and a few other projects in between), it is done. I have a friend that will help me get it cut and sewn to really finish it, but the hard part is done.

Here it is:


Showing some of the details:


Monday Matt and I are going to Orlando to meet with his dad so we can get the nook. I know Matt is really excited about getting it. We are meeting at a Barnes and Nobles so if there are any issues hopefully someone there will be able to help. We are also going to go to Ikea. I'm looking forward to that because I've never been to one and I hear they are pretty cool!
