arghh..it was two months ago.

So Valentines this year was extra special- the guys were in charge and they did an amazing job- SO it took "weeks" of planning- lots of little meeting at Hooters over some wings and drinks- I guess it gets their brains thinkin or something- SO they planned a fantastic evening- UNFORGETTABLE that's for sure and I am almost sure it's UNBEATABLE TOO!

All the girls were to be at Frank's house at 7 on the dot- well Vanessa and I had quite the eventful day- We wanted to be in charge of the dessert, so we made Chocolate Fondue and all the good dippings to go along (Pineapple, Shortcake, Cinnamon lips, Strawberries). WE had just left the store and Gordo called asking us to go get some Goblets, so we decided that since we just left Wal-Mart, we would go to Fred Meyer's and get the glasses. So we get there, no such luck, so back to Wal-Mart we go- purchased and out the door we went. On to making the chocolate fondue. It turned out great, just took a little longer than we had anticipated. So we both started getting ready at about 5:30- enough time right- Frank's house was minutes away from Vanessa and Gordo's so we thought we were good on time. We should have been the first one's there, we were the closest, and yet we were the last ones' and everyone was waiting on us!!! We just had a few minor difficulties with hair and what not- being rushed is never a good thing. So we show up and we were told to wait in the "waiting room" (aka OFFICE). later we were then Escorted to our tables by our husbands/date- where fresh salads awaited. All the while, it was dark with minimal lighting, music playing in the background, ROMANTIC I tell ya. A little while later, Dinner was served, followed by the delectable Chocolate fondue, which might I add, super delicious. While just sitting at our tables, mingling amongst the crowd (might I add there were 7 couples) the men start saying "the duck has landed, the duck as landed" they all take off outside and us ladies are just wondering what the heck-. so They come in to get us and we go out to

A STRETCH LIMO- it was amazing. Perfect for the night too- White! We drove around town for 2 hours. Obviously, there were a few bathroom stops and it was so funny b/c we stopped the first time I Think at a gas station- Mind you we were all dressed up- not like PROM, but obviously for a special occasion- the ladies were standing in line, and behind us are some drunk girls- very obnoxious drunk girls- who kept referring to us as the "prom group"- when we told them time and time again, it was Valentines- I am pretty sure they were date-less, seeing that it was probably 1030 and they were waisted to no end- anyway, as there were many girls, needing to go to the bathroom, I come out and was faced with the drunk girls trying to cut the line and use the

restroom- Anna nicely told them that it wasn't there turn and the still all 4 of them went in to the restroom and started giggling- like drunk girls obviously...acting dumb- so with the four of them in their, all of us and the people behind us were a little annoyed b/c they were taking their sweet time- but they left their one and only sober friend out of the bathroom- and she kept apologizing- It was funny when they came out, b/c I am sure there was at least 2 girls that were with us that wanted to kick their butts, plus everyone else that was waiting in line behind us- it was comical for the night- Anyway back to the limo- like I said we drove around for 2 hours, and then we were dropped off to go Salsa Dancing!!! it was fun, even though I am not that good- it's so fun to get out and dance once in a while- I want to take lessons-We danced the night away- almost closing the bar down-It was a great night and made for some sore toes :)

It was spectacular- the guys really showed us up forever- I don't know if the girls will be able to top this one for next year-it's going to be tough.
