Happy Valentine's Day!

 Happy Valentines day everyone! This year we decided to take pictures for Daddy for his Valentines day present. Unfortunately, our weather has been really cold so the day we went out to take pictures it was 46* and windy (that had been the warmest day all week). Because of that, we didn't quite get the smiles I was hoping for. But, they turned out pretty cute anyway!

I love this picture of AJ

We had to make a box for Nathan to take to school for his Valentines. This is what we came up with- a soda box mail box.

 On Valentines day grandpa Rygmyr watched the kids so David and I could go out. We decided that to miss the crowds, we would go a little earlier that normal. So we left the house at 4 and headed to Lenox mall where there is a Garretts Popcorn (from Chicago). For some reason, traffic was terrible and it took us 2 hours to get there! Once we finally got there and found the Garrett's, the line was really long, but we just drove two hours, so we weren't leaving without some Chicago mix! We waited an hour for some delicious popcorn (and yes, it was worth it!). We had decided to eat dinner at The Vortex and since traffic was so bad we thought we would take the train to midtown. When we got to The Vortex, the wait was 1 1/2 hours so we walked around and found something else. We found The Barrel House close to Georgia Tech and ate there. We had delicious hamburgers without the wait. Then, we had to walk back to the MARTA station. When we got off at our stop near the mall we found out that it had closed- luckily a very nice guy opened the doors for us so we didn't have to walk around the mall to get back to our car.

By the time we got back home, we had walked 3 1/2 miles on our adventure! It was fun though, we hardly ever go downtown, so it was fun wandering around. And the best part was who I got to wander around with! It wasn't quite the date we had in mind, but it turned out to be a lot of fun.

The best popcorn-worth the wait!
