Since I have started participating with Meals On Wheels, I've often thought it would be nice to incorporate a program to help the elderly take care of their pets. I guess the thought as crossed my mind before this but more so since my volunteering.
Anyways, so a couple weeks ago I ran across an article about this very thing. In Peoria, Meals On Wheels has added a program that helps provide pet food for the elderly to give their furbaby...even birds. Well I'm hoping to get something like that for those in this area in the upcoming months. The lady that is over the Hamilton area seemed very excited and so hopefully tomorrow I can talk more to her about it.

Snow Day
Today it is snowing out and I should have stayed home in my nice warm bed. But of course I decided to try and go to work. It is crazy out and I am sure it is only gonna get worse. So I decided to not go to work but now I need to get back home. I guess at least I'm safely in Nauvoo and not on the side of the road.
Here is a picture of the lid I was not able to post last time.

Date Nights
I just love this little date night jar I made. It has a little bit of our wedding incorporated as well. The green ribbon came from our invitations and the purple ribbon is from our favors. I also decorated the top but I need to get a better picture.

Picture Time
We thought we would get a picture with the dogs for Christmas only problem no one to take one. So Matt set the timer on the camera and we would quickly grab the dogs for the pictures. Not the easiest thing to do. Guess next time we will have to get some help. Anyways, here are some of the pictures we got.
Wrapping Up Twelve Days
I never really finished up my twelve days of Christmas and here is February. So I thought I would post a quick review of what took place.
Day one Matt received kisses (which the dog ate out of his stocking...foil and all), and a note on the mirror that read "Love Your Kisses". Underneath the tree, which he add to wait to open, was some new pillowcases that read "Always Kiss Me Goodnight" with our names on them.
On the next day he got energizer batteries along with a note that stated "You Keep Me Going".
The third day's theme was "You Are My World". I'm having trouble remember everything that was done for this day. All that sticks out is this.
As for the fourth day we danced to a song we both really like called "You Light Me Up" and he got a mini flash/laser light. Click here to listen to the song.
Day five he received some lovebug magnets and homemade lovebug that read "My heart flutters for you".
That should help bring us up to where I left off ...the sixth day of Christmas. For this day Matt received a bag of FaveRed Starbursts in his stocking and a note that red "You Are the Star In My Life".
The seventh day he got a message that read "You Sexy Thing".
On the eight day the theme was golf, which brought some golf tees and a note that said "You Know How to Hit It". He also got a shirt under the tree that read "Top 10 Best Golfers" with his name listed on the top 10.
For the ninth day he received a note that read "You Make Life Hot". For some reason I don't remember making the note. It was to go with his gift that was under the tree "LCD Thermometer Grill Fork with Light".
The tenth day was a blur... again I don't have a clue what I did and the worst part is I didn't have the tenth day listed down. I'll have to ask Matt... hopefully he remembers.
On the eleventh day, one of my favorites, Matt got pens in his stockings, a personalized calendar and "I Love You Book". There was suppose to be a note that stated "You Fulfill My Life" but I don't remember this either. Ugh.
And the last day he got a shop broom because he swept me off my feet. So there you have it, twelve days of Christmas on top of the other gifts that were under the tree.
