With a Side of Hope

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!!  I feel like it was just Valentine’s Day last year.  Everything is going by so quickly!  I hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day today!  I love the colors of this holiday.  I think the red’s and pink’s are so pretty.  I like the decorations and the whole meaning behind the holiday.  Although, it may be a Hallmark holiday, I do enjoy it and I still enjoyed it when I was single.  The only time I didn’t like it was when I was younger in school.  I remember, I think it was high school, they would come into the classrooms and give out flowers.  You could send them to people.  It was embarrassing if you didn’t receive any flowers.  I don’t think I ever received a flower in school and if I did it was probably because my friends and I sent them to each other.  I’m glad those days are over!

So after work yesterday, I picked Melissa up so we could run some errands together.  We ended up getting everything done that we set out to accomplish.  I was glad about that.  Melissa surprised me with an early birthday gift that was absolutely incredible!  I literally thought I was going to faint when I saw what she got me.  I’m going to feature it tomorrow on Wedding Talk Wednesday because it is wedding related.  I cannot wait to share! 

After hanging around their house for a little while, I decided to head home and find something quick to eat.  I remembered that we had a pack of frozen grilled chicken breasts from Tyson.  I didn’t know what to expect with these but I wanted something quick to eat.  So I baked them in the oven and made a baked potato for both of us.
