I'm not a big Valentine's Day fan, but this has to be the most creative proposal ever.

So yeah, Anna gets to go to D.C. this summer. I'm still really excited and impressed. She just needs to come up with $400, which should be easy between fundraising and what we can give her. She'll miss the Russell AND Davidson family reunions, but hey.

Work is getting weirder and more stressful. Really, I just want to stay home and make cheese all day.

Speaking of cheese, we tried some a few days ago. It was probably too early, but I just couldn't wait any longer. The Tewksbury was excellent and amazing and very creamy and yummy. The Mesa Jack was a bit dry, for some reason, but still good. The Caerphilly was tangy and very good. Overall, not bad at all, especially since they're among my first attempts.
