Happy Valentine's Day!

Bella and I started Valentine's Day with a run to the library. Well, two runs to the library because it was not open the first time we got there. And then we ran Nick's truck out of gas, blah blah blah... Anyhow, at some point we finally got to the library. While we were making our selections I got a call from the girls at work that flowers had been delivered for me. I thought it was odd that Nick would send the flowers to work on a Saturday since he knew I didn't have to work, but then decided he must have ordered them not realizing that Valentine's was on a Saturday. When I got to work I found...

These beautiful roses from a patient! He is one of my favorite patients- his calls always brighten my day because he truly appreciates everything that we do for him- he doesn't think he's entitled to anything. This was very sweet.

I have been rambling for months about wanting to get a vacuum that picks up our pet hair. After a lot of reading on the internet every pet owner review I could find led back to one vacuum. The Dyson Animal. It was on sale today at Sears and my mom gets an extra discount for being an employee. I decided (in the wake of a large tax refund) that I was just going to get it. With one large, very sheddy dog and two cats, we have a lot of pet hair on, well, everything.

I have vacuumed our living room and was just as shocked as all the reviews said I would be. This was in my carpet, in only my living room, after one time of vacuuming with the Dyson. Ewwwww gross!

So as we sit here, feeling like we have won the battle of pet hair, we are just waiting for the Valentine's Day treat that Nick and I decided to share- pure happiness for $2.39. Mmmmm, life is good!
