Valentine crap

well, we survived January. BARELY. It is literally the worst.
Luckily i was so busy at work that there wasn't much time left for sulking.
Lately, I've felt stuck in a funk. The worst kind of funk, too. 
The kind that can't be dealt or reasoned with. 
It just sits in the back of your mind causing all sorts of unnecessary worry.
And chocolate cravings.
I knew this time would come eventually. 
I'm 21. no, 22 (oh gosh i'm 22???) married,
and not doing anything particularly exciting or meaningful with my life.

I know what comes next.
Except that.... guh.
I seem to be phobic over the idea.
yes, PHOBIC.
I walk past the baby clothing and get hot flashes and sweaty palms.
Kids come in my store and all i see is boogers, poop, and a headache.

is this normal??
I thought most girls get baby fever? And i'm stuck over here with baby intolerance.
Maybe i'm just terrified of getting a whole body rash that doesn't go away for 9 months.
Or having my feet swell two sizes.
or just being a hot sweaty mess in general for 9 months plus...
because it would happen to me. it would.
Steven definitely over-spoiled me for Valentines. He's pretty good at that.
We splurged at Tucanos that night, and went to see the new Nicholas Sparks "Safe Haven."
I'll admit, it was pretty adorable.
But why Mr.Sparks, must you always stick in something at the end to make us bawl our eyes out?
WHY???
That weekend i finally got a Saturday off (praises!), and we took full advantage.
We were in need of some serious vitamin D and clean air, so we trucked down to gorgeous St. George. Steven and his friend spent some time riding their dirt bikes, and i got to hang out with my two little bebes.
It was glooorious.
We also took the puppies rock climbing with us. Flynn was a champ. Harlee was a little wimp.
I guess that's ok, seeing she is still the size of a large squirrel.
I have had several people rave about this place called "Swig's" that has "the best diet coke in the world!!!" So naturally, we had to test it out.
And oh my, was it the best. I died a happy death.
Steven was a skeptic. But he can be, because he's hot.
Only problem was coming back. TO SNOW.
Spring can't come soon enough.
Also, if you are watching Downton Abbey season three... 
please oh please don't watch the last 10 minutes of the finale.
SAVE YOURSELF.
