Cupid, pull back your bow

I love Valentine's day! Even if you don't feel romantic love for someone, it's still a really good day to do something nice for those you feel friendship love for.

I found these bad boys at Wal Mart:

Recipients so far have been co-workers, friends, and the homeless man who sits at my freeway offramp.

Poor Sister Hakes!

I hope you stay by the fire and eat lots of warm soup!

About a month ago I traveled to Thousand Oaks, California to reunite with some friends from the BYU days. Leland and Tash were gracious enough to host all of us at Leland's parents house. We watched movies, ate delicious food and burned christmas trees on the cold and beautiful LA beach.

Things that make me laugh
