grocery list

I asked Austin to make a grocery list of things he wanted from the store. I feel like I always get the same stuff and I have a hard time coming up with different things to make for dinner. This is what I came home to:
  • o.j.
  • bagels
  • vanilla ice cream
  • snacks
  • something for lunch
  • some good dinners
I'm off to the store to fulfill the requests...

valentine's day recaps...

2006 - On the couch with Taryn watching Pretty Woman while eating cheese pull-aparts.

2007 - Our first Valentine's Day together...Which ended in a fight because Austin left to go finish a homework assignment that was due at midnight. I held a grudge about that one for a while.

2008 - First Valentine's day as a married couple. Austin in charge. We went to Canella's not knowing about the 'Special Valentine's Menu' which left us with $100 less than what we had walking into the restaurant.

2009 - Second Valentine's day as a married couple. I was in charge. Didn't make a reservation anywhere which led us to a nearly 2-hour wait outside Trio sharing an outdoor heater with 4 other couples.

2010 will be spent eating dinner at my parent's house. And I can't wait.

What I have learned over the years...Valentine's Day is not all it's cracked up to be. Austin has gotten me on his side. It's a stupid holiday...just an excuse to mark up prices and boost sales. We don't need a special day to celebrate love. It should be every day. Which means, Aust, you can bring me flowers any day of the year!

Happy Valentine's Day!

love,
The Little's
