Well, I guess once every two weeks ain’t too bad. But here it is the day after Valentine’s Day and I need to write. First, we got a dog. Booda is his name. He’s about 10 months old and just newly neutered. He will be getting stitches out in about 2 or 3 days. We have about a week and a half till moving day. We are getting really excited. I see a lot of things changing in our lives for the better.

Bryce and I did something really romantic tonight. First, being Valentine’s Day he had asked me what I wanted. I said only a Whitman’s Sampler. He was going to take me out for dinner tonight but I didn’t have enough time, so I’ll treat him on Friday. We just got back from a romantic walk. Yes, it’s 2:30 am and yes, it’s –4 degrees F, but we walked “the long walk” on the oval. As we walked, he explained to me that if you walk the long walk hand in hand with the one you love, you would be with them for the rest of your life. And it was a Long Walk. I told him we should make an annual trek to Columbus for that on Valentine’s Day. It was really, really nice.
