A Secret Date!

Jeff took me on a secret date tonight! It was a very special time.  I came home from working out and was expecting us to have the typical discussion of "Where do you want to go?  I don't care, where do you want to go?  I don't care...."   But no!  Jeff says "You have 25 minutes until we are leaving on a date."  The anticipation was killing me. I don't do well with that.  I mean, it's fun but I was continually begging for clues or hints as to what's going on.  So anyways, he took me to the Olive Garden in Kokomo (He had the best dish I have had anywhere in a LONG time.  It was called braised beef tortellino.) After the Olive Garden, we went to WalMart where he gave each of us $5 to find a gift for the other person within 15 minutes. So fun!  We did that last year in Tennessee with my family.  After WalMart, he took me to Target and gave each of us $20 to find a gift for the other person.  This one took a little while longer but was still so much fun.  What a creative husband!  Then we went to Chili's to have dessert.  Each step of the date was a surprise and I didn't know where we were going until each place.  So anyways, just wanted to give kudos to my husband for being so thoughtful and creative!  We have a big game at St. Francis tomorrow.  Go Wildcats!  

Wow, how fast time flies!  We are into conference games now and each game seems to come quicker and quicker.  I realized at the last game that I may get into it a little too much.  I am really going to start trying not to shout my disappointment at the refs but only encouragement for our team (yeah right, huh Jeff?) But I will do my best. 

These past few weeks have been such a fun time with family and friends!   My sister and her boyfriend came home over Christmas and I got to see my cousin Cassie, who is doing missions in South Africa.  And of course my brother, Justin was there :) And my parents moved into their new home!  I'm so happy for them!

Back to basketball...we had a couple of the guys over tonight to eat homemade pizza, play dirty marbles and watch some of the Fiesta Bowl.  Amy and I both love to entertain people.  It makes for a fun time being coach's wives.  

How cute is this ornament that Jeff got me for Christmas?! A little snowman family!!! :)

This is Amy and I being silly with Photo Booth.

And this is my niece, Emery who is soooooo cute and sweet!

Redeem the time,
