The Valentines Box

So many of you may remember the importance of the "Valentine's Box" in Elementary school. Every year students are asked to make a box and home and bring it to school to collect all their goodies and love letters. Well this year Brett and Monika worked together to make her box. It is always nice to see the two of them working together to complete a project. They cut pictures and words from magazines and pasted them on a box that Monika had covered in tinfoil. Monika created a design for each side of the box and then Brett pased them onto her box.

As you can see it turned out quite cute and creative; if I do say so myself. I think they were both very proud of their work and I was just content to take pictures of two of my favorite people working together.
Last but not least I have to show you the beautiful flowers that Brett surprised me with. They were delivered to my office while I was out on a visit. I wasn't even going to go back to the office but at the last minute decided to run back in there and make sure I didn't have any urgent phone calls to return. As you can imagine, I was completely thrilled to find a beautiful bouqet of purple flowers (Brett's favorite color) waiting for me on my desk. What can I say, I love that man!

My Purse Has Been Tagged

Ok, so I'm really embarrassed!! I woke up this morning and thought that I would read some blogs. I like to see if anybody has updates. Well I start to read Natalie's blog and my first thought was "Oh dear, I should really clean out my purse because I could be next". Well unfortunately I continued to read the whole thing and found out that I had already been tagged. So the contents of my purse are very random and somewhat odd but here goes. My wallet of course which is so full (of reciets not money) that it can barely close, my work cell phone, and my keys. Those are the items that are pretty normal and I would expect to find in anybodys purse but the rest is where you have to wonder what is going on inside my head, let alone my purse. I had two prescription bottles for prescriptions that I haven't taken in months, a tampon belonging to Shannon, two business cards for local cab companies, a nail file, flower drops, one hard candy (this of course was thrown away), two AA batteries (I don't know if they work), my fishing license reciept, a lighter, a small bottle of lotion, presciption cream for Monika's skin, a travel salt and pepper shaker, 7 (yes 7) lipgloss, and about $3 in change at the very bottom. Of course last but not least the darling picture of my kids taken about 10 years ago that Brett happened to throw in there yesterday. So now that I've laid it all out for you, don't spend too much time analyzing what it might mean. Since I know I'm not the only crazy one, I am going to tag Jessica, Carmen, Tiffany and Shannon.
