Fortunately my "morning" sickness let up just in time for Valentines Day which meant that Doug and I actually got to do something fun together for the first time in awhile. Our friends Glen and Katie invited us to go with them to the Barnes Foundation in the afternoon. It was the first time either Doug or I have gone and it was really cool. The thing I found interesting and I didn't expect was the fact that all the paintings were displayed side by side with a menagerie of ancient metal hardware from doors and a multitude of antique furniture (which I think was Doug's favorite part). The hardware was hung on the wall artistically, it was kind of bizarre but cool at the same time. After that trip I had to rest in bed for awhile since my energy level is so much lower than it used to be. In the evening Doug and I went to a dinner dance at the church. Doug surprised me with wanting to go because neither of us are into dancing. But I have to say we had a really good time, and the food was great (it's so exciting that I can enjoy food again!). We sat out all the fast dances but we got to slow dance together quite a few times which was really nice since we don't usually get to do that. It was a wonderful day, mostly because I got to spend some quality time with my sweetie.
