What a great day :-) God is so good, life is so good, the sun is out, and oh yeah, I'm headed out the door to go drive my new car.

Wait, should I say it again? Some of you may not believe me.

I'm headed out the door to go drive my new car!!!!!!!!!

For those of you who have known me for more than 5 years, you've seen me drive a car. For those who haven't, you've been driving my ass all around town that whole time, and to you, I am truly appreciative :-)

But now, Amy has grown up and bought herself a car! No more bumming rides! As you can tell, I'm pretty stoked. I finally saved up enough money to buy a car. It's an oldie but a goodie.

It's an '87 Honda Accord LX, 4 door, automatic, silver/gray, 157K miles, power everything and working cruise control (which has ended up to be my new favorite thing). It's clean, reliable and is going to work great as a little commuter car. Hard to believe I'm driving a car that was built when I was in 1st Grade, but it runs like a champ!

Anyways, I gotta go. Sun's out, time is awastin'!!!!!

I hope you all are having as spectacular of a day as I am :-)

Another Vday Come and Gone

*SIGH*

What a wonderful day.....

I was working away, too busy as usual, and here comes this delivery man with an enormous, fabulous boquet of roses in a beautiful vase. Now, almost everyone I work with is married or at least seroiusly dating, so I didn't automatically assume they were for me (I was hoping, of course).

Sure enough, the man said, "I have a delivery for an Amy Hawkinson"

My cheeks immediatly turned bright red and I smiled so big I'm sure the UBuildIt wing across the way saw it :-) It was a dozen long-stem roses just for me, from my sweetie. It was the perfect mid-day surprise.... I had been delivered balloons before at work, but never flowers. Very thoughtful (thank you baby!).

We then spent the evening together, cooking one of our favorite meal (steak fajitas!), eating by a roaring fire and nice music, with candles all around.

On Tuesday, I was asked to describe my Valentines Day..... I said, "I can sum it up in 3 words"

Perfect........Perfect........and Perfect.

February is going to be a romantic month!!! We just had Vday and now we're going to be celebrating our 3 year anniversary on the 28th! We're SO excited to go away for a weekend. I think we're going to a nice hotel and ordering a bunch of room service (strawberrries and champagne anyone?). Maybe getting a massage or a facial..... pretty damn excited...

Alrighty, have to get back to work!

"We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true."
