Lucky Girl

We usually don't go too overboard for Valentine's Day...maybe some flowers or a nice dinner in. This year, it just so happened that my laptop AND my watch gave out at th same time. Shane saved the with double V-Day presents.

I've been wearing the same watch since my 21st birthday, so I was long overdue for a new one.

(PS...he got a really smokin' deal on the lap top)
Don't go thinking I'm spoiled....those who know me know that this year is making up for years worth of kinda lame Valentine's Days. Sorry, Babe...I'm just sayin.

Bagpipers!

I tagged along to Shane's Cal Fire union convention in San Diego. I was amazed by the amount of pride and deeply rooted tradition exhibited by the organization. Every night there was a beautiful dinner accompanied by the CDF honor gaurd. The resort was beautiful and located right on the beach at Mission Bay. On the final night we followed the honor gaurd to all the local pubs in Pacific Beach. It was wonderful to have a weekend to ourselves too!
