As it turns out...

I actually have some stuff to blog about. I've been avoiding this here blog for a while. Why? I don't know. But I went through pictures today and organized them all OCD-like and then decided it's time to share a few.

Valentine's day! It happened, and I may have mentioned it happening, but now I can prove it. 
First we made some delish cookies. I splashed some DaVinci Toasted Marshmallow Syrup into the dough and then splooshed some more into the frosting. It added a really intoxicatingly tasty flavor. I recommend it. We have no cookie cutters for lover's day so we hand-shaped ours...
 We also used our Christmas gingerbread-man cookie cutter and spiced it up.

We both worked and stuff on the actual holiday, so I picked up a frozen (stuffed crust!) pizza, sparkling cider, and a redbox on my way home and we picnicked and pigged out. Romance.


Lately we've been being lazy when it comes to our date nights so we started a new system. We even wrote stuff on a calendar. I'll let you know how it pans out. 

Anyway, last night we went to the aquarium! Yesss.
 Nemo!


 Nemo!


 Me petting the rays and the sharks. 


Yes, that is a baby shark. And yes, I am holding it!

I think for the price and the fact that it's Boise, the aquarium was pretty cool. Being able to pet the fish, sharks, rays, and other sea creatures was neat and made it worthwhile. They are currently working on a sea otter exhibit and a swimming with sharks experience. Yes, I've made it my goal to swim with the sharks when they finish. And that is only because sharks scare the tar out of me and it would be SICK to face that fear.

Have a wonderful weekend. Show off those pearly whites!
