Valentines

This year we have been trying really hard to eat healthy most of the time. Chris wants to get in shape for all sorts of races this year, and I want to help him out and maybe get skinnier too. Anyway, I've found that I really crave chocolate, especially when I don't have it around anymore. All I wanted for Valentines Day this year was for some tasty chocolates to stash away for my late night treats. Thankfully, Chris came through. See's to the rescue. He also brought me and the girls some tulips. They were super excited to get flowers. We celebrated on the weekend with a date downtown for some tasty dinner at La Buca, followed by milkshakes at Moonstruck. It was a great Valentines this year!

All dressed up

Chris was nominated for another Nike Maxim award this year. We had the chance to get all fancied up and go have a catered dinner downtown. It was nice to actually know a few people this year that we could sit by. The food was really good. There was salad, super tender steak, and some kind of strawberry custard dessert. The best part was that he won! That makes 5 years in a row that he's won an award. That's crazy awesome. It's pretty hard to even get nominated. I'm so proud of him.

I decided that for this fancy party that I was going to go all out with my hair and makeup. I spent an hour on you-tube watching videos on eyeshadow and hair styles. :)  (I know I am a little bit crazy, but hey, it was fun) I was finally able to pull off the smoky eye look. It actually worked, and I was quite pleased with it. I ended up curling my hair and then pulling it into a low side pony, and then pinning the curls all around to make a curly messy bun. The pictures don't really do it justice, but we had a great night, even if my girls thought I looked "weird".
