Snow Day

FINALLY, College Station got to experience a little bit of winter and school was promptly cancelled! 

A snow day is just what the doctor ordered. 

I spent my day off relaxing...and that's it. I was going to take pictures of the snow but, 

there really isn't much. 

In other news, like my new background? 

I'm just getting in the holiday spirit. I love Valentines day! I don't really know why, I never do anything really grand on Valentine's but I think I get my love for it from my mom. 

Her favorite shape is a heart, her favorite color is red and her birthday is the day before.
Exhibit A:

 

So, naturally, she loves it. 

We even send out "Valentine's Cards" instead of Christmas cards, "Just to be fun" as my Mom says. 

She would always give me and my brother a little gift like a book or a movie (and usually a slice of leftover white birthday cake with white frosting) so I have fond memories of Valentine's day growing up, I think it is kind of sad when people call it "Single's Awareness Day" I think of it more as a family day actually! 

People should be a little more enthusiastic about that day! I think it celebrates many types of love, not just romantic! And isn't that what life is all about? Loving people the best you can? 

I think so. 

My challenge to you, few readers, is to enjoy Valentine's Day! Wether you're single or dating, enjoy the day for what it celebrates, give your friends some chocolate and a hug, if you have a Valentine then tell them how much they mean to you, tell your family you love them, do something nice for yourself too and sport pink or red garb.  

And Mom, I am glad you made Valentine's so fun growing up, I hope I can keep that up!
