My Funny Valentine

Okay, so I got the most exciting thing this Valentine's Day. A secret card appeared on my desk at work. I can't believe it! It says it's from ?????. It's hand made and someone must really care about me....


Besides the exciting "secret" valentine, I took my valentine to Tepanyaki. For those of you who haven't been there, it's much like Benihana. We had never been there and it was so much fun.
The best part of the night was when the chef threw a piece of shrimp into each of our mouths (I use the term mouth loosely....). Let's just say Boyd was the only one who caught the shrimp in his mouth. Logan was lucky though, his landed right on his eye! It was hilarious! He just picked it off and popped it in his mouth! We all laughed, even the chef.
You may have noticed that Bryant wasn't present for the night's festivities. That's because he was at Young Mens and had what he described was "pretty much a date". Apparently, the boys were assigned to certain girls in the ward, who they had to pick them up from their home and escort them, on their elbow, to the church. Once there, they then opened all of the doors for the girls, pulled out their "date's" chair, and ate a spaghetti meal together, using what manners a 12 year old boy has. Apparently, Bryant has such fine manners that he came home covered in sweat. I'm sure the night involved jumping, running, and probably throwing rolls in the basketball hoopes. At the close of the evening they then escorted the girls home, and much to Bryant's dismay,it didn't end with a smooch (He's going to kill me for saying that!). However, I am proud of the boy, some of the boys refused to get the girls so the Young Men's President counted on Bryant to do the "dirty work". Ahhh, young romance....

Isn't Tepenyaki so much fun?! We go there every year after the end of the School season with the office, it's hilarious to watch 85 year old Lavelle "catch" shrimp, they always hit her smack in the middle of the forehead!

Addie went with us this past year, she was 8 months, and the flames FREAKED her out. It was sad, but hilarious at the same time.

Sweet Valentine! Whoever made that card must love you! Tell Bryant "good job" on the whole date thing. Maybe he was covered in sweat because he was so nervous to sit by a girl all night. That totally makes me laugh. We had a night like that in the 22nd ward when Becky and I were fresh young beehives. Part of the meal was fried chicken from the Albertson's deli, and mine had glass in it! It cut my mouth! And to make matters worse, we had chicken from Albertson's the night before for dinner, and the same thing happened to me! Mom went back to the deli and got a refund. Funny.

That's too funny! Did Bry atleast get a hot date? I hope that he remembered to wear some Brute, or Aqua Velva... that would help cover up the sweat smell. (I guess now days the kids wear Axe)!
Tell Bry to take advantage of any free date he can get. Before too long, he has to start paying for dinner.
