It has been a little while, but much as happened. My
promotion took effect and I am learning so many new things about my new role. I
have a list going of all the things I want to change, update and keep the same.
I feel very exciting about this role and I feel like I can really make a
difference. My in-laws surprised me with flowers at work! It was such a nice
gesture and they are still looking beautiful today.

Since February 11 (my last blog post), Christopher and I
celebrated Valentine’s Day. On the 14th, we had our pizza making
contest. I made Christopher’s choice pizza of broccoli, peppers and cheese and Christopher
made my pizza – a regular cheese and pepperoni pizza. We put the pizzas to a
vote (thanks to Facebook) and Christopher won. I guess I will have to perfect
my pizza making skills. Then on Friday, we went out for dinner to Salvatores
to celebrate. We dropped Marv (our Sheltie) off at Nan & Papa’s house and
spent the night at the Marriott. It was a great, relaxing and romantic night
out.

Then on Sunday the 17th we celebrated my brother
in law’s (J) birthday. We went back to Salvatores and had brunch. They were
doing a chocolate themed brunch and it was absolutely wonderful! It included
chocolate themed food items, a long stemmed rose for each lady and a strawberry
champagne cocktail. The service was wonderful (as always) and we had the same
waiter as Friday night. For anyone who loves going to Salvatores, ask for Karl –
he is absolutely a delight!
On Thursday I went to our second splurge party group. My
friend Tori won this month’s splurge pot. Our hostess Andrea put out a fabulous
spread and has a lovely home. Fingers are crossed that I win next month…my list
of splurges keeps getting longer!
This past weekend I attended my friend Jessica’s bridal
shower. She is seriously the nicest person I have ever met! Her shower was
lovely and held at Rizzo’s Banchetti’s. We all did crafts and received little
heart measuring spoons as the favor. She and her fiancé Jason were so blessed
with wonderful gifts for their future house. I ended up making a gardening
basket out of a watering can. Inside were a pair of gloves, 4 packets of
seedlings, a set of organic moss pots, trowel, hand shovel, a garden sign and
garden flower stake. I included a picture below of the finished product. This
worked perfectly as all invitees were asked to bring their gift unwrapped and I
still wanted to make my gift look cute and presentable. It was super easy too
to find all of the supplies as Spring is right around the corner.
