Mustache Party

Before

Ready for the Mustache Party

After

It's been a while

Jonathan and I had a great Valentine's Day. During the day we didn't do much. Just had a normal day, but we went to Durango, CO for dinner at Mutu's Italian Kitchen! This restaurant has some of the best food I've ever had.

We got there before our reservation so we could have some wine at the bar and wait, but were able to go right to our seats. We went all out, drinks, appetizers, salads, entree and dessert!! I don't know what my favorite part was. We got chicken skewers for our app. They were wrapped in bacon and had two awesome dipping sauces and a cabbage salad. Jonathan ordered a duo of Ahi tuna and veal for his entree and I ordered one of the specials, pine nut crusted Mahi Mahi with pesto risotto! AMAZING!!! We finished the meal with Tiramisu before heading back to Farmington.

I have had a few more interviews this week. And a few jobs don't sound right for me, but I'll find one soon enough!

Jonathan and I have been talking about taking a vacation somewhere close this summer. So far the two choices are narrowed down to Las Vegas or the Grand Canyon. We probably won't be able to go until July since we'll be traveling back to OK in May & June. This means we will be going to Arizona or Nevada during the hottest month!!! But seeing either of those places would be fun. We haven't decided on anything yet but wanted a place we could drive to a spend a few days them come home. Those seemed like the best options so far. We both want to go drive through California but need more time for that trip.

A recent project Jonathan worked on won the COP Spirit Award. This award is only given to one project in the company and Jonathan project won. He's really excited. Unfortunately, he is no longer in the group he was in so those still in the group that worked on the project get to go to Houston and meet the CEO and accept the award. It is still exciting that Jonathan was involved in a project that is being recognized.

This Friday we are going to a Mardi Gras/Mustache party at a friends house. They are from Louisiana and celebrate all the holidays here. It a lot of fun. Many times they make authentic cajun food for the parties which is always tasty. The mustache part of the party should be interesting. A lot of the men at COP have been growing out the facial hair and are cutting crazy mustaches for this party. It's going to be scary! :) I'll try and get a picture of Jonathan before and after. I'm scared to see him and all the other guys!! I'll post pictures if I can sneak them.

Valentine's

Jonathan "suprised" me today with beautiful pink roses and a TUB of jelly beans. So many that I'll have to go to the dentist if I eat the whole thing!!! But I love them both!! And Jonathan of course!!

I say "suprised" because he called to let me know he was coming home from work late. He always comes home at a different time depending on what he needs to get done, and never calls. So, I thought something was up! :)

Here are my beautiful flowers!! Pink Roses

Today

This is what we woke up to today!!

Front yard

Down the road

All the schools are closed for this, but Jonathan's still at work! I'm trying to avoid driving today. People out here don't know how to drive in this weather and are very dangerous!! (They are always dangerous, horrible drivers, but especially in this weather.)

Here & There

There is not much going on with us. I'm starting the third book in the Twilight saga tonight. I'm still looking for a job. I have another interview soon with a Dr.'s office. We've finished out taxes (Jonathan finished them, I was not much help!)

We went fishing Saturday. It was 60 degrees and beautiful outside. Caught nothing, but it was fun to get out of the house and enjoy the warm day. It was beautiful in Navajo Dam, NM on the San Juan River. There was some snow remaining on the ground there and it was nice to be near the water! Here are some pictures from that:

Sunday it was freezing and snowing. I took a video of the crazy snow from nowhere from our front door! (too cold to go outside)

We have plans to go to Durango for Valentine's Day. We are both looking forward to our date and dinner. It's going to be a lot of good food and fun.

Ellen talks to Gladys

This clip explains itself! The woman Ellen is talking to is from Austin, TX and is hilarious!!!

I had to share! :)

Things

I finished Twilight this morning. I don't think I've ever read a book that fast. I also started the second book, New Moon. I only got a few chapters in before the story took a turn I wasn't happy about and stopped reading! It's too good of a story to stop though, I'm continuing with it this evening.

Jonathan went to ride his dirt bike with some guys he works with, but when he got to the spot to ride the bike died on him. Now he's in the garage with some buds taking the whole bike apart trying to find the problem. I don't know what they are doing, all I know if our garage smells like oil and gasoline and has parts everywhere.
