It all started when P and I decided to quit using our credit card after reading a "How To" article on saving money and finding discounts on the internet...He then put a 1 year ban on me buying anything "decorative" for our home (choke). In return I banned him from us eating out for one year. Then we went to Pizza Hut to discuss our decision. He got online to view the "deals" that were discussed in the article. He decided to make one more purchase on our credit card and planned a VALENTINE WEEKEND EXCURSION! Yippee!!!! I love surprises so he promised not to tell! (Save money? Who us? Well he did "save" money on the tickets...)
Saturday morning we woke up, loaded the camper, and headed south! For two reasons this was music to my ears! 1. Warm, warm, warm 2. Warm, warm, warm! We said our traditional traveling prayer and pulled out onto Ohio Avenue with the camper, Jonas, Sasha, and 75% of our house in tow. Somewhere around the "Bulldog Carwash" (~ 1/4 mile from our home) we get pulled over by a cop...Our trailer tag expired 4 days prior and he thought he would give us a warning...Whatever Fritz...(he looked like that guy from the Sound of Music - seventeen going on eighteen...).
After we got away from Valentine's Day RUINER...we drove through McDonald's and got a cheeseburger cause' that just makes it better. Once we arrived in Tampa, lovely warm Tampa, P set us up in a campground - It was kinda in the ghetto, but there was a fence so if you closed your ears where you couldn't hear the gunshots it was like paradise...jk (kinda)...
THEN we got dressed and ate at Olive Garden. Yummy! We were seated in like 10 minutes, had a great server, Jonas slept the whole time, and I got Raspberry Cheesecake! YUmmmmm!!!
THEN (drum roll) we head to St. Pete Times Arena where we had 3rd row center ice seats for the Washington Capitals vs. TB Lightning...(We fell in love with hockey and the Caps in Washington D.C. one year...our lives just wouldn't be the same without hockey)!!!!!!!!!!! The game was AWESOME! We won 5-1 and saw the best goalie we have ever seen. Which really doesn't say much since we don't watch hockey at all except when we actually go to a game...but he was still really good!
THEN, and this was a surprise for both of us...Edward Cullen (aka Rob Pattinson) was outside the arena, waiting for me!!!!!!! Well, he wasn't waiting for just me...he was waiting for like 30,000 screaming teenage girls and I just happened to be among them. But he and I made definite eye contact...as evidenced below about 27 seconds into the video. I know, I know...what more could I ask for on Valentines Day than to spend it with my three dream guys Patrick, Jonas, and Edward...(sigh) Watch and weep girls!!! and THEN Patrick decides to bash all my dreams by telling me that it's not really Edward (ACK!) Seriously - watch the video and then VOTE in the comments section...Is it Edward???? (It is, but I just need some smart girls too back me up when I tell Patrick). Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!!! XOXOXOXO (i love you Patrick, Jonas, and edward ;)
(excuse the stupid camera guy that kept getting in my way-
MOVE!!! - doesn't he know I'm watching EDWARD!!!)
Has anyone seen my phone???? It's MIA. I'm not ignoring your calls. I can't FIND the stupid thing anywhere...if P would not make me put it on silent in church I could have called it and Nnnoooooooow I'm sure it's dead! Whaaaa! :(
