Two days of classes canceled. Racing the dark to spend the weekend at home. No power for two days. Valentine’s Day at home.

Valentine’s Day 2014 was one of for the record books. J and I spent it with my family, preparing dinner with no power, to have the power come on just before we decided to get ready to eat. This is how we were preparing to make sweet tea. Southern folks,  they always figure out a way to get some good sweet tea.  I have to say I am thankful to have the dad that I have, and the boyfriend that I do — both are wonderful survivor-men.

It was a great weekend spent with good people, wonderful conversation, and more sweet memories made with J.

Thankful for weekends like this past one. Full. Good.

Grace.
