Oh Happy Day

Gary and I have a tradition for Valentine's Day. Every year we attend Jazz Night on the USU campus. This was our 5th year in a row!! It is always around Valentine's Day and so it gets Gary out of trying to come up with something romantical, which we all know (and if you didn't you do now) is a very hard thing for him to do. :)
Jazz Night consists of live Jazz music, a delicious dinner, and dancing. We are anything but good dancers, but we dance to nearly every song and pretend we are the best swing dancers in the room! This is our annual date, so we look forward to it for a whole year and always find it worth our time and money!

Well, isn't this the perfect couple?
Ann Marie and Joe (and I will feel really bad if I remembered his name incorrectly)
Ann Marie started Jazz Night and is in charge of it every year. And what a success it has been! It benefits the Larry Smith Jazz Scholarship (aka it helps those students who are there performing the awesome music)
Although I have been friends with Ann Marie for several years it seems like now-a-days this is practically the only time we ever see each other. It makes for some good catching up!
It was such a fun night! Thank you for the perfect Valentine's gift, Gary. I love you!!
