January was the first time we really breathed in awhile. We went to the cabin with Bee's dad, her sister & brother-in-law, and their kids because we were having a Christmas do-over with Bee's grandparents who live nearby. It was tough, and I think it'll be awhile before we're ready to attempt another trip with everyone.

The Celebration of Life was the weekend before Superbowl, and it went really well. Tate's Oma had a bunch of wonderful people in her life, and we're hoping to be good about keeping touch with them with her gone.

Speaking of the Superbowl, a lot of my friends are still miffed that the Ravens didn't get a "holding" call at the end of the game, but honestly the Niners were about to get walloped and the power outage was a stroke of good luck for them. So we got one bit of good luck, one bit of bad. C'est la vie. There's always next year.

This weekend we're cleaning out our front bedroom. We keep going back & forth about whether we want to rent or sell this house, but we have to finish our remodel either way for us to feel comfortable moving on. So we're clearing out the front room and going to insulate/paint it soon.

I'm glad I'm not currently working hospitality, but I think this may be the last Valentine's Day I get to say that. Since I don't have to work but don't want to go out, I'm wondering what to plan for that evening. I'll definitely buy flowers, but trying to think of something interesting for us to do.

What's your plan for Valentine's Day?
