Valentines Day

Ben got me the coolest Valentines Day present (I told him I didn't want anything). He got me the cutest camera ever. He started telling me all the stuff the camera can do and I said, "Ben, it's Red, that's all I care about" :-) He also got me a black camera case with pink stitching. He gave it to me the day before Valentines Day (we both hate surprises). (I got him a really cool watch that runs without a battery, I'm sure he'd love to show you). Valentines Day actually really sucked for Ben and I. I woke up with what I thought was the flu (it is actually a breast infection, and now I have a prescription for it). I felt awful! It reminded me of being pregnant...yeah, I don't want to do that again...I love my two boys and that's probably all I will have. Anyway, so Ben stayed home half the day. He took Ryan to Preschool and went out to find that the Sequoia had a flat tire. He took Ryan in the truck, then came back to check on me and let me sleep until he had to pick Ryan up. He pumped the tire up and took it to get repaired. They said they could not repair it, because it was too close to another repair job...and they said all our tires were pretty low on their tread, and we'd need to get new tires. So while Ben was supposed to be home helping me, he had to stay at the tire shop and get all 4 tires replaced. It really sucks when you just buy a car, then a month later have to replace all the tires. So $800 later we have new tires. I guess we'll have to look more closely at the tires when we buy a car. Anyway, we're going to pretend Valentines Day is Saturday. My mom is going so sleep over and watch the kids for us so Ben and I can go on a date (hopefully I'll feel better).
