February just flew by. We started the month with Jared going to UMEA the 1st Friday and Saturday of the month and leaving me home alone with the boys. Jared always has a great time at UMEA, it is a time for him to learn more and get ideas on how to be an even better music teacher. Jared got back late on Saturday and then it was my turn to leave him alone haha. Though I did leave Bo with him so he wasn't completely alone. Sam and I left on SuperBowl Sunday to spend time watching the game with my family and to wish my baby sister (ok she's 22 so baby may not be the best term but whatever) a happy birthday. My mom is a HUGE Peyton Manning/Broncos fan so it was a lot of fun to watch the game with her. She had everyone wear a shirt. She thought it would help her team win. Guess so because the Broncos won.

The next day I went to Jamberry Summit in Provo UT. It was the whole reason I went up. I was able to meet members of my Jamberry Team. We had the opportunity to talk to many people from the home office including the President of the company.

Sam loved getting one on one time with me and some much needed time away from his grumpy big brother Bo. He and I went to Petco and got some treats and a new bed for his crate which he loves. We headed back home on Wednesday. It was nice to have a little getaway with my youngest.
Then we had Valentines Day, which is always a good day. We splurged and got steaks for dinner. SO good! I wish beef wasn't so expensive because I could go for steak way more often. My favorite part of the day (besides the steaks) was being able to spend time with my sweetheart. Things had been so crazy and we spent almost a week apart, so it was nice to reconnect.
The rest of the month we were both busy with work and other activities. Jared had region Speech and Debate the last weekend of the month up in the Salt Lake area, so I headed up too. I was able to spend time helping my grandpa (he has dementia so I try to see him as much as I can). I was able to go wedding dress shopping with Jared's sisters, who are just as much my sisters now. We were able to find Marsha THE DRESS, she is going to knock Eric's socks off that's for sure. It was nice to have some girl time.
And what do you know that's February!
We're really excited for March! Lots of exciting things in the works this next month.
