Valentine's Day

On Saturday Greg and I spent the day together snowboarding and skiing at Snowbowl. It was cold but the weather was really nice. The start of the day was a little slow because it was really busy. Everybody wanted to go down the mountain. After lunch was better because it cleared up a bit. I went into the snow park and decided that I wanted to try a few jumps. The first time I went down the row of three jumps I fell all three times and I bet it was pretty funny to watch. I went down the mountain and came back up and tried it again. I was successful my second time through until the very last jump were I completely biffed it and landed right on my butt. It really hurt and it took me a little while to get back up. I had a nice round purple and blue bruise. It is still a little sore but I have gotten over it. :) After the end of the day we were so tired. I guess I feel asleep on the way back to campus. I certainly don't remember the drive home. 

We thought we might be too tired to go out for dinner on Saturday and also every place was going to be packed so we went out to dinner on Friday. We went to Olive Garden. It was still busy but it was well worth going  a day early. I didn't get my gift though until Saturday. Greg made me wait. He got me a card that had coupons for me to redeem that say for example a massage or I get to pick all the TV channels/shows that I want to watch for the day. Also he got me a huge Hersey's chocolate bar for me to eat! A girl loves her chocolate. :) For dinner on Saturday we just ordered a pizza and ate in. That was the best decision that we could of made! We were so tired from snowboarding and skiing all day. 

I love Greg so much. He made Valentine's Day this year very special!

My Dad

My dad has been in the hospital since Saturday and is hopefully going home tomorrow! He has pancreatitis and has been in a lot of pain. He was able to eat some solid food today for the 1st time since Saturday and they took him off the IV fluids. That is always a good sign. He is also off the pain medication they had him on. He is still really weak and has some recovering to do but is on the road to recovery. Which is always a good thing. Thank you to all who knew and have been praying for him. He needs those prays still because he is still not 100%. We never know what life will throw at us, that is for sure.
