Valentine's Day 2009
It's really hard for me to get use to celebrating this holiday. I'm not a big fan of it and it just slips my mind until the night before, so I never have time to plan something special.
This time I was so much focused on Friday the 13th and what spooky movie we'd watch; I once again slacked on the job. Some wife I am!
Matt of course didn't slack and sent me the flowers in the picture above to my work on Friday. He's so great.
Mom and Daddy didn't slack either. They showed up Friday night bearing Valentine's Day goodies. Heart socks and pajamas for me and of course, chocolate for Matt.
The Next morning I decided that we should both pick one thing that we've really been wanting to go and do and make a day of it!
I picked going to the Dallas Zoo.
This cracks me up.
Matt's Friend
Until just now, I never knew that green bird was sitting on my shoulder! Sneaky lil devil.
Penguins! 
Penguins! Matt was as tall as an Emperor Penguin.
This baby elephant statue looks really sad.
The Gorillas were not out and about, so we enjoyed these statues instead.
Crocodile Tiff
I thought this was really cute. This Tapir was sleeping with a smile on his face. It must have been a sweet dream.
I love the Rock Hyrax habitat. They are so cute and related to the elephant too. Amazing!
How do you do?
After the zoo we began Matt's activities for the day!
We went for Dim Sum at J.S.Chen's and then went to the movies to see "Taken" with Liam Neeson. I highly recommend it. It was so action packed, it made my palms sweat!
At the end of the night, I had strawberry red soda- a tradition my mom probably doesn't even know she started with me as a kid- and watched "Hot Rod."
It was a very happy Valentine's.

Man you are lucky, I didn't get a Valentine's gift from mom and dad...I guess them watching my children Saturday night was my gift. That suits me fine. Looks like you had good times, that's great!
y'all are too cute! I love the zoo pictures!
