Rotell, Kali, and LOVE!!! Happy late V-Day.

Back by popular demand... The RETELL story!

Nick and I had just gotten back from our honeymoon. We NEVER cooked because our kitchen was the size of a closet with a washer and dryer in it! I decided one day to make crawfish fettuccine so I take my little recipe (I got from Trisha at my shower) and head to Winn Dixie. I WANDER the isles for about 15 minutes looking for Retell. All the while, wondering what the heck retell was. I can't remember exactly what I was thinking it could be but it had nothing to do with tomatoes! I then spot some older lady who looked like a total housewife and though "I know she knows what this retell is" So I say, "excuse me m'am.... do you know what retell is" and she laughs at me. She then takes me to the isle and picks it out for me. My mother taught me sooo well. At least I now know.

We are almost finished packing!!! Not too much left. I was talking to Kali the other day and she said "Jessie, I am still marking my calender for you to come home." I ask her if she is sick and she says "yes, I have the strep, but don't worry, the sickness will be gone when you get here!" We then talked for a little while longer and I ask how Duncan is doing. She tells me that he is not doing well and tells me how the other day before school granny had to chase him down the street and then he ran in the house. She said "Jessie, I think you need to have a talk with him when you get home." That baby is too funny. Gosh I love her!!!


Speaking of love, I had an awesome valentines day. Me, Nick and a bunch of work friends went to the Winery. It was a blast. I got pretty tipsy, danced to love songs :), and enjoyed the company. We got home and I was pretty tipsy. Nick knew I was drunk because I offered I asked him if he wanted to go to the hot tub. I have been scared of hot tubs for a long period of time. I am always affraid I am going to get some kind of vaginal fungi from one... you never know what is floating around in that pitre dish! Anyways... you are not supposed to go in after dark. We walk in and this alarm goes off and a recording comes on "The police have been called. Leave the premises immediately!!!!" I was so scared and paranoid. We only stayed at the pool for about 20 minutes.... the cops never came! HA! Anyways, in honor of v-day I have decided to list some things I love about the people I love:
