Gary and I celebrated Valentine's day with my Mom here. What a treat for us! First thing in the morning we got up and met some friends at the Bosque School to run the Sweetheart 5K run. It was quite cold...but still SO SO fun! 
Then it was home for some buttermilk pancakes for breakfast! YUMMERS! Notice the extent of my Valentine's Day decor. Lame, I know.
Then we got ready and headed out to Old Town. Another place I'd love to take anyone else who should decide to come visit!!!! It's got tons of shops and stores. It's fun to just walk around and look at everything. AND, every other store sells Turquoise Jewelry which is always fun to look at and now I'm on the hunt for some cute earrings with a specific type of Turquoise called Sleeping Beauty Turquoise.
Since we had gone out for dinner the night before, we decided to avoid the crowds and stay home and make dinner. My Mom brought me a sourdough start, so we made Sourdough Pizza and it was fabulous!
Then we decided to go to a movie. We couldn't decide which one to go see so we voted. It didn't really work out so well since the only one who actually picked a movie didn't even know the name of the movie. We all got a good laugh over this one. She (Mom) meant "Taken" but it was sold out, so we actually ended up seeing "Bride Wars" I thought it was cute...enough. There was a good 5 minutes during this show where I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt and I couldn't stop! LOVE it when that happens! :)
Gary is very proud of the practical gifts he gives me for V-Day (secretly, I love it too). Our first V-Day was a butter dish, then last V-Day it was a pitcher...this year...a recipe book. I was really excited because I saw this recipe book a while ago and told him I wanted it. He remembered! -I guess you wouldn't really know which recipe book I'm talking about since it's actually wrapped in this picture. Trust me, it's a good one and I'm sure I'll be posting some recipes from it on the recipe blog!

I'm so glad you guys had such a good Valentine's Day. It was sad not to have you here at our traditional dinner...maybe next year? ;)
I wish I could have run that race, but I'm glad I didn't sign up b/c there is NO way I would have made it. So, what recipe book did you get???!!! Is it Gathering of Friends?
