Valentines Celebrations

We celebrated V day the week prior by going out to lunch at Braza Grill.  Taylor bought me daffodils and a flower bouquet so he could make me flower jewelry as well.

Valentines Day rolled around and I came home from work to a huge surprise!  Taylor had decked out our door and table in pink wrapping paper with notes written all over them for me and an orange rose on top!  He even made all the ingredients for me to have my favorite meal:  homemade pizza!




The next day, Saturday, my sister was in town so we went to a play and ate dinner and celebrated my Mom's birthday.



On Sunday we went to our branch at the hospital and then met up with Taylor's parents and sister for dinner that DeMarie made.
After dinner we went to my Mom's piano recital where I played one of my compositions.

Some other funny moments of last week:
~Taylor accidentally showed up at my work because he took the wrong bus but I didn't get his texts about it.  I walk out of the clinic and all the sudden stop when I see him sitting there on a bench and think, "what...is that MY husband?  OH NO.  What's the bad news?"  Gave me quite the scare but it was sure fun driving home from work with him!
~My back is obviously hurting because I am not cleaning as much and leave paper shreds on the floor for a few days:

~Taylor teaching Carlie how to draw cartoons for her third graders:

~Going to Riley's for a shake on our first V-day being married to remember our first date 4 years ago
~Red Pepper shaped hearts for the pizza!

The Drake Lately

I've been having fun going to lunch with my Mom and Dad


I've enjoyed making lots of cards with my cricket and cuttlebug





I've enjoyed trying new recipes with Taylor like spinach lasagna, vegetable-full meatloaf and breakfast for dinner with lemon poppyseed bread
The bouquet of flowers Taylor bought me for early V day and to make me jewelry
This was THE BEST lemon poppyseed bread

Taylor's had migraines so he has to wear sunglasses inside

And my Valentines present from Taylor he made with flowers from my wedding bouquet
