Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things, and still be calm in your heart

Belated Valentine's Day















I have never been big on Valentine's Day. But this year was a Valentine's Day I'll never forget. Since I had a major swim meet on Valentine's Day, Brian and I celebrated on Valentine's Day Eve. It was so sweet. Brian planned to cook this wonderful meal. When he got to my house, he told me that we were going to go out to a local chocolate store, so I can pick out the chocolates that I like...that way I wouldn't get any that I didn't like. As he walked me out to the car, I noticed this beautiful bouquet of flowers sitting in the passenger's seat. They were gorgeous! So, we went back inside to the put the flowers in the house, and as I'm bringing in the flowers, Brian is bringing the stuff for the dinner. We put them both on the counter and went to the candy store.

When we got home, the food was all over the house. The really nice rolls that Brian got for us had chunks missing, claw marks, bite marks, and the plastic bag it came in had holes all over it. Yep. I then found the culprit:




Brian made Valentine's Day wonderful. Then, the next day, I get to school and receive these gifts from my students:















(Yes, this is a half eaten chocolate fish...this picture is exactly as it was when I received it. )















Yes, a cough drop.



























































This card is from the boys... yes, everything is spelled wrong...on purpose.
