i fell asleep on the couch last night at 8, then had a glorious 10 hour sleep. it was great. i dunno if this is what all those moms have been talking about when referring to fatigue from pregnancy, but i like it!

in keeping with our valentine's tradition, b and i exchanged lists, then ate cupcakes. it was very special. i was certain that i wouldn't cry this time, but i did. i started crying on the first line. i thought after when, as we hugged on the couch, that that little tradition makes me feel more connected and loved then going out for dinner, flowers, candies, or any other typical valentine's treat. i'm thankful that it's so simple but so meaningful.

so brendan and i booked our trip to greece. we leave on monday, march 4 and arrive back in TO on friday, march 15, but we'll stay over night there and drive home the next day. i'm very excited because i've been wanting to go to greece for years and years. i just hope the weather is good, but i'm sure it'll be better than here in march. it turns out brendan was kind of relieved that istanbul was out of the question. it just keeps things much more simple in his head to stay in one country. we're flying into athens, going up to thessaloniki, stopping at mount olympus, heading over to meteora and stopping at ancient delphi on our way back to athens. a few people have mentioned "troubles in greece" lately, which is weird because i follow the news quite closely and i haven't seen or heard of any trouble in greece. i know they're on the brink of bankruptcy, but that's old news. when we went to ireland back in 2011, it was march and the weather was pretty ideal. so i'm optimistic that we'll have a great vacation.

now i'm crossing my fingers, cause nothing else helps.
