- We went to go see The Phantom Menace in eye-popping 3D with some work friends of Kevin's. It was good, they added a few new scenes and digital Yoda. As far as the 3D action goes, it was OK. It didn't make the movie any better for me, (Episode 1 is one of my least favorites) but Kevin quite enjoyed it. When my sister asked me how the movie was, I told her it what I thought, and she informed me that according to her boyfriend, I am super critical of the things I love, which I suppose is true. All in all, it was a good fun time, and I learned that I am way too old midnight showings, even though that won't stop us from going.
- I had a student in preschool tell me to, "kiss my ass." To be fair, he has a speech impediment, so it sounded more like "kiss my ask" and he talks to people through movie quotes (much like Abed from Community. Hilarious coming from a five-year-old) so I don't think it was personal, but it was still shocking none the less.
- Our cousin-friends Jake and Ainsley invited us over for dinner and a fun night of games. It was a blast of course, we love hanging out with those guys. They showed us some new games and Ainsley made one of the best chocolate cakes I have ever put in my mouth. Seriously, it's been over a week since we hung out with them and sometimes we still talk about it.
- We celebrated three birthdays in my family! My Dad's on the 8th, my Mom's on the 12th, and my brother Christian's on the 13th. Since Christian is in Ohio, all we could really do was text him HBD, but we went out for dinner for my Dad's big day which I already talked about, and for my Mom's birthday, we made her cupcakes and went over for a big family dinner at my Grandma's house. It's always a big party to get all of the Jorgensen side of the family together. Us cousins mostly talk about how awful we were to each other as kids. Considering how big of bullies we were back then, it's really nice to all get along and have a good time together.
- Valentine's Day! We told each other that we wanted a "real" Valentine's Day, since the last few both of have had have been pretty stinky. I knew that my week was going to be crazy, since I worked two preschool classes a day the week of V-day. Kevin surprised me the day before Valentine's and had a big bouquet of flowers delivered to me at work. All of the ladies were so jealous. On actual V-day, we went out for our favorite breakfast at Kneader's (sourdough pancakes and chunky cinnamon french toast) and I embarrassed myself by knocking a display down that was hanging out the wall. Classic Miquelle. We also gave each other some gifts, I gave Kev a Star Wars themed Build-a-Bear and cake bites, and rock star Kevin got Cupcake Chic to open an hour early to get me my favorite cupcakes. After breakfast, we ran up to Ikea to get some furniture we've been waiting to get with our tax return. While I was at work, Kevin assembled said furniture, and now our apartment looks a million times better. Like I said, rock star. For dinner, we made cedar plank salmon and garlic-balsamic asparagus (amazing) and then watched some episodes of Star Trek. It was a perfect Valentine's for us, and yeah, we love each other.
Picture time! In no particular order...
Lemon poppy seed pancakes! Can you tell we love to eat? And that we love pancakes?
View 1 of our living room, new coffee table!
View 2, media cabinet. Now we have a place to store our Blu-Rays and DVDs. Amazing.
The dark chocolate mint cupcakes we made for my Mom's birthday. Also, my new haircut.

Valentine's stuff. The Koala's name is "Wil' Annie"
Valentine's dinner. Yum, and yum.
I had to add this because poor Kevin hasn't had a picture in a while. This is his work doppelganger. Uncanny?
This next series of pictures features all of the weird places we have found our cat climbing in. What a rascal.
Refrigerator. Gross, I know.
Dryer
This one's just cute.
