Lets hear it for love!

I had the most wonderful time on Valentine's Day, it was truly magic. I think that has to do with the fact that I am married to a gem of a man. Joe is sweet, sensitive and thoughtful and all of those qualities were magnified yesterday. I had to work at the Pharmacy during the day and when I got home at five Joe had bought me a rose and a glass candy heart dish that had chocolate hearts and $80 in it (notice below that he had folded the twenties into origami hearts!) and was cooking me dinner. He had also made a Valentine's music mix of love songs and had it playing in the background. I got to just relax sipping delicious Chianti while we talked and Joe cooked me dinner. He grilled rib eye steaks with mushroom onion and Parmesan cheese sauce and Spanish rice and for desert chocolate fudge cake and whipped strawberry frosting. After dinner we had a girl movie marathon and watched The Duchess and Mama Mia. And ended the night with snuggling and talking about us, where we are, and where we are headed. The whole evening was perfect my head is still in the clouds, I have pixy dust trailing behind me when I walk and my eyes are star struck. I never knew it was even possible to be this happy! I am one lucky girl :). Thanks Joe...I love you!

Let's hear it for sunshine...even if it's artificial!

So I got my light box yesterday and I all ready love it! It gives off a very peaceful light that I find myself wanting to be around all the time, I have been carrying it from room to room so I can do just that. The light makes me calm, and even though I have only had it for one day I think it is really going to help. And it came at a perfect time because it is so so so dark and rainy today:).

SAD



The sun doesn't come out in Pittsburgh all that often and it is getting me down. I think I am suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) so we bought a full spectrum light box from Indoor Sunshine that I think will do the trick! I am keeping my fingers crossed anyway.....wish me luck!
