Love and Marriage... and Chocolate Cake, too!

Our Valentine's Day was kind of interesting, but fun, too. This morning, I gave Michael a boxed set of Polo Sport cologne and deodorant. Then, Michael and Jonathon went to motor vehicle. Michael had to get another vehicle registration card and renew his driver's license. Michael dropped Jonathon off at home and then took his car to a mechanic to get it inspected. He had a hard time finding a mechanic that does state inspections and had time to inspect his car. Not exactly a priority for mechanics...

While Michael was still trying to do that, I took Jonathon and the rest of the kids to the church for his basketball game. Jonathon played about half of the game. Scott, my brother-in-law, coached the game since the regular coaches weren't there until later. Scott was really good about getting the younger players to have plenty of time on the court. It was a really close game! The final score was 39 to 37. Jonathon's team won! This was the first entire game that I was able to see. Jonathon didn't make a basket and only got to hold the basketball once. However, I talked to Scott afterward and he told me that Jonathon did exactly what he was supposed to do. He blocked the point guard while he was bringing the ball up and possibly prevented them from making more shots. He ran up and down the court, kept his hands in the air and was a good defender! Awesome job, Jonathon!

Unfortunately, Michael missed the whole game...but he was able to make his car legal again!!

On our way home, we got some lunch to take home from a roadside BBQ (so it was in a parking lot, we do after all live in a busier part of NJ!)

Later that afternoon, Michael went with his brother, John, to help move a couch. While he was gone, I snuck over to Kristin's and picked up a yummy Chocolate-Covered Strawberry-Topped Cake and Mini Cake Truffles.

After dinner and cake, Michael and I went out to look at some wedding rings. I lost mine a while back and we are trying to replace it. Unfortunately, my finger is much smaller than the pre-fab rings, so I didn't get one yet. Maybe for our anniversary?

Happy Valentine's Day!
