Lately

We’ve been taking advantage of the beautiful weather by going on hikes/walks. It feels so good to unplug… Well, sort of unplug since I did take my phone to take these photos! 😉

Brandon completely surprised me this past Valentine’s Day with an amazing dinner at Hamamori! Our usual Valentine’s dinner consists of In N Out because it’s what we had for our first Valentine’s together at art school.

Fun Fact: Brandon and I use to work at the art school library. Our first Valentine’s together, I had to work the evening shift and close at 10. So Brandon surprised me with a candle-lit In N Out dinner with rose petals and all at the back of the library after our boss librarians left. So creative! 😉 We found out the next day that when they opened the building, people smelled smoke so a crew of firefighters were called to inspect the whole building. They didn’t find anything but it was prooobably from the candles we blew out the night before. :X Oops! Haha! (Sorry, Pati!)

So yes, this course dinner was a major upgrade to all those burgers we’ve had the past 10 years! 🙂

Baby Bear celebrated the 100th day of school! His assignment was to bring in 100 of anything. Naturally, he chose Snoopy so we drew 100 Snoopy’s together on a shirt. It came out so cute and now he’ll be able to wear his own work of art!

Last week, we got the happiest news of the year! 😀 I’ll share more details Friday! What’ve you been up to lately?

Lots of Smiles,
