My Friend Penelope
Okay, so I finally bought my first designer purse. I had a gift card to Von Maur from Christmas last year (from my bosses), and finally decided on a handbag I really liked, so I figured this would be my Valentine's Day gift to ME. Here is a pic of my new Coach handbag. :) It is perfect because it goes with everything, which is a prerequisite for me if I am buying something that costs more than my monthly car payment!!! Yay!!
Happy Valentine's Day to ME
Okay, maybe a little bit of bragging here but I think I have the right. :) We had a great Valentine's Day this year. First pic is of our table for our nice dinner at home, followed by Casey toa hsting the camera. 
Next up is the beautiful flowers Casey surprised me with on Friday, along with the pearl jewelry he bought for me at Borsheims today. Everhyone loves the silver box with the burgundy bow!!!
Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day!!!!

Then she will likely start physical therapy to rebuild the strength and motion in the leg. We're making progre

Laundry room project
Here are some pics from the laundry room project...the "new" color looks almost white but it really is a light blue. It is WAY better than the robin egg blue that I first had on the walls!!! You can see the contrast in the pic where the white door is visible. We are still working on painting all the shelves and then should be close to done after that. Will put up some more pics when its all complete.
