i love the day of love

Ahh . . . Valentine's Day. It was a fun few days of celebration. Here's a rundown:

My sweet Edward treated me to a delicious dinner on Saturday at Sawadee, one of my favorite places to dine. Scumptious Thai food. Mmmm mmm mmm. I do love massaman curry. :o)

No, this photo is not from Vday weekend, but we didn't snap any new
shots, and this is one of my favs, so I'm including it anyway.

We decided to celebrate Valentine's Day on Saturday to avoid crazy masses of people at restaurants on actual Valentine's Day. We also got together Friday, Sunday, and Monday. Monday, we just enjoyed a nice casual meal at Cafe Rio. It was great!

Edward spoiled me with a new charm for my Pandora bracelet. He got me this cute new panda charm. My nickname with my family since I was a baby has always been "Randah Bear." Plus, Randah rhymes with panda . . . so it was perfect! And P.S., "he went to Jared." haha. We laughed about that all weekend.


Because I do so love the day of love, I decided to be super creative and domestic, and I made cake balls to share with my co-workers (and Edward's co-workers) and the girls Tricia and I visit teach. Here are my yummy cake balls. Confession: I might have eaten a few too many of these over the weekend. Oops.


Mmm. Cake balls. What are your favorite combinations? I did fillings of chocolate and strawberry--with milk chocolate and white chocolate on the outside. They turned out delicious. :o)

What did all of you do for Valentine's Day?

community classes = fun (surprising, huh?)

So, my roommate Tricia and I, along with our friend, Amanda (and their moms), have been into community classes lately. Who knew community classes were fun? We've taken two cupcake decorating classes and then Tricia and I also took a pizza-making class. Here are some photos:
