V-Day & weekend fun!

I know I'm a little late getting a post on here about Valentines and our weekend. But I honestly have been soooo busy, I really haven't had a chance to sit and type. And of course I forgot to take one single picture of all of the events over the past few days! Sometimes I wonder why I even bother carrying my camera around.
Anyway, it started of with Valentines day. My hubby gave me some beautiful flowers, a sweet card and some really pretty smelling candles. (I love having lit candles around the house) We then had our friends Jason and Rosalie over for some games for a while to kill time until our dinner reservations. After some games we went the the Hibacci(sp) Steak House, we met up with another couple Art & Shiree there. It was a really fun dinner! It is one of those places where they cook your dinner in front of you, our cook put on quite a show for us!! So we all had some really good food and Steven and I also ordered some sushi, they have a great sushi bar there. I haven't had sushi since I've been prego, it was sooooo good!!! So, dinner was great, with some great company, although a little more exspensive then we would normally spend, it was woth it to celebrate Valentines Day with each other and our friends. We gotta spoil ourselves sometiems right?
On Friday night our ward had a Mystery Dinner Party. It was really cool! Even though it was a church event, they had it at a beautiful big house about 15 min. south of Yuba City, pretty much in the middle of no where. We all were givin a person we had to be for the night. It was set during WWII time period, so everyone was dressed so cool, depending on who they were and where they were from. They sent out formal inviations a few weeks ago inviting us to join the Contessa such and such (can't remember the rest of her name?) to a Resistance gathering at her home. While we were there we learned that there was a spy among us who was against the Resistance. So we had to go around and talk to everyone to try to figure out who it was. We were given some clues to get us going. Oh, let me back up again, also a few weeks ago we were given the information on who we were to be for the night. There was quite a bit written about each person, so we could learn about who we were to be so we could act accordingly. I was Ursual Braun a german midwife, currently living in Frankfurt. My husband and I ran a clinic there. Steven was Tomas Farkas a Hungarian gunsmith currently residing in Germany. He was also quite wealthy. It was a fun night, everything was fancy and done so well!! The people who put this on put a lot of time into it!! I am so mad I didn't take on single picture!!
Lastly on Saturday night we celebrated Devan's (Steven's younger brother) 18th birthday! I did actually get pictures from dinner and stuff. But I'll put those up later when I do his birthday post. It was fun hanging out with the family as always! I'll get to more about this later though.
So, all in all it was a really fun weekend! I do have a new belly picture to put on here, but I'll have to do it later because I don't have it loaded on my computer yet. Sorry if this is really bad grammar, I don't have time to proof read it right now, I just want to get it posted!!
