Fun Weekend, and Valentine's Day Plans

We had a good weekend! We didn't do a lot, but we had fun. One thing we did on Saturday was we woke up early to take Guinness to the dog park (we wanted to get there before the ground thawed and the park became muddy), and it was SUCH a success! It was maybe the most successful time we've ever had - Guinness had lots of fun running around and socializing with the other dogs, and he was super well-behaved. We'd also brought a few tennis balls, and he had a blast fetching them too.  We were very proud of our little guy when we left the park!

Our handsome pup!

On Sunday we didn't do a lot, but we did make some chalupas in the CrockPot to eat on nachos for dinner. I thought the Super Bowl was really great! I was definitely rooting for the Broncos, so maybe that's why I liked it so much... But I thought both Defenses made it so incredibly exciting. I'm happy for Peyton Manning, and I hope he retires now! 

We were going to go to the gym this morning, but I was SO tired so I bailed on it... And tomorrow morning there's going to be too much snow to go, so we'll go Wednesday. We went three times last week, and that feels like a good amount!  I don't know if that'll happen this week since I bailed today, but maybe...

This weekend is Valentine's Day! We don't like to do most of the traditional stuff, but we have a few of our own traditions that we're planning on doing again this year. One tradition (that continues from my days of being single) is watching a horror movie at home on Valentine's night, and we're planning on watching Crimson Peak. I'd wanted to see that since it was in the theaters, so I'm excited to finally see it! I hope it's good. The commercials for it creeped me out, so that's a good sign!

Another tradition that we've done every year on Valentine's Day is make a nice dinner at home together. This year we're thinking of making homemade pasta! It'll probably depend on how motivated we feel by dinnertime, but McGee got me a pasta attachment for my mixer awhile back, and we haven't used it yet! We both love homemade pasta, but we've never tried making it.

I'm doubting ours will look this good... haha :)  

We're also thinking of going bowling early in the day, because we did that last year and had SUCH a fun time! The bowling alley we like is very kitschy and Big Lebowski-esque, and they have a nice beer selection and amazing food! And they take your order and serve you at your lane, so you don't have to go up to a counter or anything.  It's super lovely! And last year they had all sorts of cheesy Valentine's Day decorations, so that was funny.

I hope you all have a great week and a great weekend!
