Giveaway #2 - VALENTINE'S LOVE!

O.k, so let me explain this one: what is the first thing you think of when you hear the word valentine's day? It should be your boo, your lover, your whatever you call it...but me I think of CHOCOLATE (of course Mark follows because someone has to give me the chocolate, duh, I'm not that insensitive) so guess what this giveaway is, yup, it's all chocolate and I scored the good stuff too - none of that imitation cheap stuff for my blogging buddies! The Lindt truffles are our favorite. And men, if you are smart you will drop your name in here too so that the chocolate will be in the house on Vday and your lady will be totally high by the time you get home with your forgotten flowers and card!! So drop your name in the comments, or email me and the question you must answer is...what did you have for lunch? We'll stick to that theme this time around, it's more interesting than I thought learning what you guys are eating and I really think you're being honest too, I love shameless honesty!! Remember it ends Monday Feb.9th at noon, good luck!

Giveaway #1 - HAWAII

Sorry about being so slow to post this, the pandemonium has already commenced I know but it's been a crazy week! When we returned from Japan we had a giveaway and now that we have returned from Hawaii we've decided to do another giveaway! Giveaway #2 (Valentine's love) will be posted later tonight but I wanted to keep the two seperate so that you could put your name in for one if you didn't like the other or you can put them in both! It was a little hard coming up with two and so I hope you like what I came up with for this Hawaiin themed giveaway. To be honest, the only part of it that actually came from Hawaii is the chocolates but I slaved away making the placemats! There are 4 all together and the back is a solid pale yellow. So if you are coveting what you see below then drop your name (only once) in the comments or email me or Mark if you still haven't quite figured out how to leave a comment! Along with your name you must answer this question: What did you eat for breakfast this morning? This is our attempt at making sure you are keeping up your metabolism?! It's really just the first thing that popped in to my head, so whatever...we are only keeping the giveaway open for 3 days. The goal is to get people their prizes before Valentines day (sorry to anyone outside the U.S, it probably won't make it to you on time!) It will close on Monday the 9th at noon and then we'll announce the winners!

Congrats

Happy 3 month blogaversery!! I just didn't want you guys to forget that it has been 3 months since we started rockin the blogisphere together, thanks for reading and we'll be doing a giveaway shortly. There will be 2 prizes up for grabs, one for today and one for Valentine's, that means 2 winners! So stay tuned...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGELA!!

Today is my beautiful sister in law's birthday! We love her to pieces and here are some reasons why:

1. This is my first time ever meeting her and yes they met and married while I was a missionary but they came out about a month before I was released and I loved her right away!

2. She agreed to marry my brother!

3. And she makes him ridiculously happy and we love how perfect she is for him.

4. I love her sense of adventure! She traveled to China with her sister, how cool is that?

5. She is MULTI- talented - check out this footage we snuck (she's also VERY modest!)

6. And finally she is the greatest mother to her 2 girls. She is so patient and loving with all her kids (especially Jake!).

Just a few more things to add...Angela is one of the worlds best listeners! When I'm talking to her she makes me feel like I'm the only person in the room. Thank you Ang for listening and giving advice over the years, I love our chats! She is also constantly striving to be her best and to choose what's right for her and her family. I'm so happy that we have birthdays to remind us to celebrate the people that were born in to this world to bless us so much! WE LOVE YOU ANGELA!!
