Valentine's

Valentine's was uneventful this year. Usually the girls in the family try to do stuff for our guys, but this year it was a little unorganized.
The week before Valentine's I had a small little procedure done to my leg. While the doctor was fixing my varicose and spider veins I had him cut off my tattoo on my ankle. No big deal, right? Well the 4 inch incision became extremely infected and I was unable to walk or go to work, I had to be put on 2 courses of antibiotics. My foot was swollen, red, oozing puss and so painful, I couldn't put any weight on it. I sat on my couch all week. My sister, Harmony, came over for 2 days and made me food, took care of Hayden and cleaned. I was so ticked that it had happened and that I was using my vacation hours at work to sit on my couch. I didn't leave my house for about 8 days. This Valentine's dinner was my first outing. (I will post some before and after pictures when it is actually all healed)
Anyway, the last couple years we have gone to the Valentine's buffet at the Bluebird Restaurant as a family. The food is so good and they have yummy desserts. Since it was a buffet, I sat in my chair and Jeremy served me all my food so I didn't have to walk.
I really enjoy doing things as a family and I know I have the best parents and siblings and husband. I am one blessed girl.
So here is me and my Valentine. He was about ready to boot me to the curb after a week of being helpless, but he never complained. He helped we do dressing changes each day (yum).
Here are the cute Valentine girls. I love these cuties!

Here is the fun group that we went with: My parents and Grandma, Harmony, Steve, Devyn, Cannon and Justine.

Here is Hayden's awesome Valentine's box, this was the first year she got to make one at home.

Thought for the Day

One day, long, long ago, there lived a beautiful woman who did not whine, nag or bitch.
But that was a long time ago and it was just that one day.
The End
