February

February!  Did you know that February means spring in California?  It's true, the trees are budding, the flowers are starting to bloom, and the fruit trees are producing like crazy.  February is a wonderful month to be living down south.  February is also a great sports month.  First there is the Superbowl which means a great party with friends, and the night before the Superbowl is the start of Nascar season.  Also this year the Olympics are on this year, although with all my homework I am just hoping to catch a few of the hockey games, and maybe some snowboarding.

February is also Valentines, so gentlemen... you've been warned.  The question is how much to do?  Niki and I are going to stay pretty low key.  One of the results of struggling with infertility as a couple is that it makes Mother's day incredibly difficult.  As a result we are more aware of the pain that some of these holidays can cause on those who don't have a special someone in their life.  So I'll probably try and do something for Niki, but nothing to big.  May 14th... that's the day to go big!
