Snow, Chinese New Year, Globetrotters, & Lovers Day

I haven't written in a while and figured I should update you on our "exciting" lives. First of all, the snow up here has been crazy! Trey and I got the camera out when we were shoveling the other day...

The piles of snow are almost as tall as me!


Our awesome hairdos after shoveling snow while it was snowing

Our second notable event we participated in was a Chinese New Year party last Saturday. My co-worker Billy invited us down to the Dragon Chinese Restaurant in Ogden for the party. It got pretty crazy when they started playing the Chinese drinking games. Yowza! It was quite entertaining. And I must say that the food was amazing! And it was free! Thanks Billy! Here are a few pictures from the party...

Billy gave everyone these red envelopes with $1 in them! Must be for good luck.

All our food...potstickers, egg drop soup, marshmellow shrimp yumminess, duck (not our fav), sushi, lettuce wraps, low mein w/veggies, spicy chicken, kung pao chicken, and more deliciousness. It was all amazing!

My dear sweet co-worker, Melissa Hoover. Trey calls her "Hoovy". Sitting next to her is her boyfriend Dave who also works at Icon. Icon just brings people together. They are a crazy, fun couple.


Check out the wallpaper! Hello red velvet!! I must have you...and a couch to match!

They also had Chinese karaoke going on and a dessert contest which we participated in. Unfortunately, my amazing homemade raspberry cheesecake didn't win the $100 prize! Oh well, maybe next year.

Fun event #3: Harlem Globetrotters! 9th row baby! My work hooked us up. We decided to bring the Fullers with us. It was a pretty fun show.

The Trotters doing their famous weave...with the whistling in the background of course

This was the sweetest dunk!

And of course, last but not least, Valentines Day! It didn't really go the way we had planned it but we still ended up having fun together. We originally planned to go to the Indian Oven but when we got there we realized they only had a special V-day menu that didn't have the dish Trey wanted and the options were very expensive so we bailed and went to IHOP instead. :) After we went to the DI and shopped around. Trey found a sweet brown DC backpack for $5! This is why we love the DI. After we went to the store and got some yummy expensive drinks that we wouldn't normally buy, some softserve, munchies, and I got my favorite treat, chocolate covered cinnamon bears! We ended up renting the Simpsons movie from Redbox and stuffed our faces while we laughed our heads off. Pretty romantic eh? Here are some pics of what we got each other...

Trey got me flowers, ahhh! How sweet!

I really love my flowers...

Trey also gave me this cute necklace with shells on it. He said he got it because it reminded him of me. I'm his "Shell." I've always loved seashells ever since I was a kid. It was very sweet of him. Love you honey!

Yes, that is a bacon wallet. Trey was pumped.

I got Trey his favorite nuts! They are super tasty.

You two are having so much fun! Thanks for all the pictures. That is a lot of snow - more than we have here. Sounds like a fun Valentine's Day, too. Where did the pictures of the monkies come from? Those are a blast from out of the past.

What about a hambone wallet for Hambone?
