February doesn't seem to be all that exciting of a month....don't get me wrong, we have done quite a bit, but February is the time when I start longing for spring. Last week gave us a small glimpse into the not to distant future with a 68 degree day. It was so wonderful! We took Belle on her first long walk on Kelly Drive (she did so well, we are such proud parents, haha) and I even put the windows down in my car! HOW AMAZING! Unfortunately it was short lived as ridiculous winds led to cold days as well as another round of snow last night that brought 6 inches of snow. Anymore 6 inches seems like nothing around here....crazy.
Like I said, not much seems to happen in February. Dan and I don't even really celebrate Valentine's Day, so that isn't a huge event for us in February. We did however have the wonderful opportunity to rekindle our love during Valentine's weekend at a marriage seminar called The Art of Marriage. It is from an organization called FamilyLife and it was a 6 session video event on different aspects of marriage. Dan was completely skeptical of this event and didn't see why it was necessary. He pictured an old guy up on stage talking about marriage for hours and he thought we would have meet in small groups and talk about our feelings, haha. Well luckily it was nothing like that! It was so wonderful! We learned so much about each other and our marriage. It was very refreshing to be able to take some time out of life and really strengthen our marriage. We have a new perspective of not only our marriage but how we both fit into it. I could go on forever about how great it was.....but I will spare you. Don't think you have to have issues in your marriage to go to something like this. My parents have been married for 30 years this year and got a lot out of it too. We HIGHLY recommend this event for newlyweds or even engaged couples. It is a great way to start your marriage off on the right foot!
Other than that we have been hanging out and living life. I am in the thick of rehearsals for shows in March and April. Dan has been working a lot of overtime, including Saturday's. We had the chance to have my old roomies over to our house for brunch (we missed Jenna though as she was sick...booo). We are still attending Grace Church and are learning a lot. Dan got a new motorcycle, so he is heaven, haha. What can I say, life is good here in South Philly!
