oh me oh my

okay...i know i've dropped the ball when it comes to blogging and keeping updates acoming your way...

but it's been a crazy couple of weeks.

I've just about caught up on my list of blogs from all of you guys (and WOW. am i amazed!).

i was planning a valentines Banquet for our church. Dinner and a movie (showing Fireproof). it was such a joy to see it through!

we had about 40 + people show up, many from our church, many whom i've never met. Jacob was such a big help and encouragement! i literally don't think i could have done it without him. He really kept me going, calm and cool. it's nice to have Jesus walking with you in the form of your husband.

for our valentines, it was nice. we just stayed home, watching movies, lounging around. Jacob picked up a night shift at sheetz from 12-4 am. so i didn't hear him come in when he got home. i naturally wake up at least once or twice before 5 am, and when i woke up at 4:45 am that morning to not find him in bed, i got really worried. my incoherent brain took me all kinds of places. "what if the store had a hold-up? or if they were robbed? i wonder if he's ok. what if.....what if....?"

then i saw the light in the hall way come on, so i was fine. my imagination!

when i woke up at 8 to get started on breakfast, i came out to find flowers that he had bought for me at a cancer benefit!

if there is one thing about me: i ONLY love pink when MAJORITY (if not all) of the money goes to cancer research. if the money goes to a cancer survivor to help pay the bills of fighting that horrid disease...i love it even more.

then, i found this adorable card, and a poem he wrote for me! Just for me...sorry! :o)

so special!

with everything being as tight as it has been lately, i used (what little) skills i have in the kitchen to give Jacob a great valentines day.

i made a breakfast casserole using bacon and scrapple (called for sausage, but scrapple worked fine), eggs, salt, pepper, a tiny bit of milk and two slices of bread. i cut the bread in little squares and laid them in the bottom of the baking pan. layered bacon and scrapple (again, sausage would probably work better, as scrapple is just a little too fine), then mixed the eggs, milk, and salt and pepper, and poured that on top. added some cheddar cheese on top and baked it for about 30 mins at 350 degrees.

worked out well...

today is jacob's first day at rosetta stone, so...i'm goign to make a special dinner for him! trying to find out what though! :o)

blessings to you all!
