Every time I hear this song, I cry. We sang this at church this weekend. It truly is super powerful and reminds me how incredibly awesome our God really is!

Happy Valentines Day!!!
Mike & I are having such a great weekend!
Thursday/Friday we got over 10 inches of snooow!!! It was so beautiful!! We carpooled into work on Friday because the roads were full of snow and slush. I went in 3 hours late so it was nice to sleep in. :)
Saturday we met my mom at Northpark Mall and ate lunch at the Nordstrom Bistro (Mmmm)! The mall and surrounding area was a madhouse since the NBA All-Star weekend in in Dallas tonight. We were able to make it back to Rockwall and to church just in time for an amazing sermon.
Today we slept in, exchanged V-day gifts and made a delicious brunch. We relaxed alllll day and instead of dealing with the crazy crowds at an restaurant and ordering off of an over-priced 'special' menu...we went to Central Market and purchased filets, red skinned potatoes and salad fixings to make our own special dinner. We are also opening a special bottle of '95 Opus One...it's decanting as I type.
I hope you and your Valentine have a love-filled day!!

NAPA!!!
Ahhhh, what a truly AMAZING vacation!!! We had soooo much fun on our trip to San Francisco/Napa Valley. We are already planning our next trip out there! We learned so so much, drank delicious wine, ate wonderful food, had a great time with family and relaxed a lot!!! Unless I write a novel, I wouldn't be able to give all of the details...here are the highlights and most of the wineries we visited....
We stayed at a cute Bed & Breakfast called La Residence--the property was huge with many houses... this was the house we stayed in.
Nestled in the heart of Napa Valley, La Residence is a tranquil, luxury inn set on two acres of lush gardens, beautiful vineyards, towering heritage oaks and redwoods, and peaceful fountains. (If you can't tell...I copied that from the website.)
Napa Valley
Chateau Montelena--Have you seen the movie Bottle Shock?!? It was based on a true story and THIS was the place where part of it was filmed and where (partially) Napa became famous...in 1976
Mike & I at Chateau Montelena
Opus One...AMAZING view from the rooftop deck!!! Cabernet is to die for! $30/glass. GULP!!
Inside Opus One
The entrance to Opus...it was a bit overcast. :(
Mike & me :)
Sterling Vineyards--this is the cable car that you take to the top of their property. The view is jaw-dropping! Wine not so good but amazing customer service and wonderful property!!
My mom & step dad at Sterling
Mike & I at Sterling Vineyards
Lunch on the patio at Auberg du Soleil--SOOOO amazing! Highly recommended!
We visited 10 wineries in total and loved every minute of our vacation. It was great to get away...now I'm just awaiting the arrival of all our wine shipments!!
