Dreams...

I hope everybody had a nice, romantic Valentine's Day!

My Valentine's Day turned out better than expected. We didn't exchange gifts this year...or go anywhere special...but it was one of the best Valentine's Day I've had in a long time. Hubby made us all breakfast and everyone pitched in to do some major house cleaning...but what made Valentine's Day special this year was a conversation I had with my hubby, John. He brought up dreams that we've had for a long time now that have gotten pushed aside in our crazy, hectic, busy, wonderful, wouldn't trade it for the world...lives. Dreams that I honestly thought he didn't care about anymore...Dreams that I didn't dare let myself dream anymore for fear that they might never come true. Those dreams are still there for the both of us...and yesterday I started to dream again...and that is why my Valentine's Day was so special! Some of these dreams might take some time still to happen, but every great dream begins with a dreamer!

Nothing happens unless first we dream.

And of course we had our annual heart shaped pizza! YUMMY!

I Heart San Francisco...

Or I should say I left my heart in San Francisco. Just being there is romantic and makes me feel more alive. I live in a small central valley town about 60 miles from San Francisco so it's always a treat to experience "city" life. We spent our Valentine's Day at Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf. We ate dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe...

Saw Alcatraz from afar...

Watched the sea lions do nothing...

Checked out all of the CUTE shops {chocolate heaven - need I say more?}...

And let the teenagers wander around and have great fun...

I wish I could share some pictures of me, but my gorgeous husband just does not have a steady hand. EVERY single picture of me is blurry :(
I told him I'm going to have to hire a photographer to follow us around and take decent pictures of me. Or maybe it's time for a newer, better camera {hint, hint}

Happy Valentine's Day...

This is where I wish my honey and I were today. We are going to be near the water, but it won't be nice and warm. We are going to San Francisco today {I'll have tons of great pix to share later}.

I hope you have a fun, romantic, sexy Valentine's Day!
