Valentine's Day 2009

Well it is my first Valentine's day without my dad. There will be a bunch of these days this year...but today was pretty hard because I can see how painful it is for my mom, and also my dad always got me the best Valentine's cards. My mom and I exchanged little gifts. I got her a box of chocolates and 2 kitchen tongs cause she only had one super old pair so these seemed useful. I also got her a card from Kai as well as one from me...which basically expressed how much I love and appreciate her and how I wouldn't have been able to handle the past few months without her. It made me cry when I wrote and and it made her cry when she read it. But I think its healthy for us to cry sometimes and just kind of get out emotions out. She gave me some money for a new pair of jeans (which I need)...and some cute dollar store stuff with a pink theme (like a picture frame, socks, some toe separators, and such) and a box of chocolate kisses. I got Kai this adorable monkey from Petsmart with crinkle stuff in the hand a feet and a squeaker in the head. He loved it...he loved it so much he's already ripped stuff out of it. I swear this is the most destructive Yorkie in history!! Oh, I also went and got my mom and I each a ticket to the AMC Theaters Oscar event thing. I'm pretty excited for that! It'll be a long day but it is sure to be lots of fun!
