House Calls for Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day came early for me this year. I was close to wrapping up my work day on Friday when I heard our doorbell ring. When I opened it, I was greeted by none other than Wool E. Bull, the Durham Bulls' mascot. He had a host of goodies for me, including a dozen roses, a pink Durham Bulls hat, and two tickets to Opening Day.


Wool E.'s visit to our house was short-lived but extremely memorable. I gave him a hug, talked to his handler, and snapped a couple of photos with him. As he was heading out the door, it hit me that a cartoonish, locally famous bull had just been in our house. The realization made me overjoyed, so I quickly grabbed my camera to get video proof of the events. As you can tell from the footage, the Valentine's Day surprise that Matt planned for me completely made my day.




I tried to return the favor yesterday by giving Matt a "Kissing Bandit" Snoopy, a gift card for a 60-minute massage at Massage Envy, and a mix CD of love songs. Our Valentine's Day celebration continued last night with a wonderful dinner at Pulcinella's (and some great conversation over cannoli and coffee) and a night at home watching the premiere of The Amazing Race and the Winter Olympics.

All in all, we had a great Valentine's Day weekend. We hope all of our family and friends did as well.
