Grow old with me, the best is yet to be!

I'm happy to report that Valentines was much better this year. We exchanged gifts on Thursday night. Unfortunately Erika had to work late that night so it didn't leave time for much...Enough said ;) So we celebrated Valentines on Saturday. We got a babysitter and went out just the two of us. That was a feat in and of itself. The boys usually tag along, but no this time! We started with a romantic dinner at the Chef's Table. It was pretty tasty and very romantic. Although one thing that was a little awkward was the old couple sitting next to us. They were literally right there. We could have talked with them had it not been for the window between us. It was like watching a silent movie. We were sitting with them and could see their whole night, but couldn't hear a word they were saying. erika loves a chance to dress up and be fancy so we had a good time.
After that we hit the mall for a little bit to get ERika a new watch. She's been looking for a while and wanted something that looked more like jewelry than a watch. We hit up the watch store where Brian works and Erika found one that she likes. Of course Brian had to hook us up so we were all happy. Mission accomplished.
After the mall we went to a comedy club iwth my bro and his wife and my parentals. It's not their usual cup of tea and I didn't expect my moms and pops to be there, but my brother can talk my dad into anything. The show was put on by Shawn Dee the hypno hick. I haven't been to a hypnotist show in quite awhile so it was a lot of fun. Who doesn't like watching people make complete fools of themselves?!? Especially when one of the hypnotees (what do you call a hypnotized person?) is a girl wearing a dress with a big slit up the side. We got more than a hypnotist show! Overall it was a great fun date.
I chose the title of this post because it's so true! Every year when I look back on the previous year things only seem to get better. It's probably because of Erika. She would let things get worse. She keeps me in check and does a good job taking care of our little family! The best is truly yet to be!
