My Valentine

My Valentine's gift came last night! I was really excited. Little did I know that this mid-sized regular-looking package contained...

 The Pioneer Woman Cooks!! I love PW, P-Dub, Ree - anyway she's called I'll take her! I couldn't wait to look inside and start planning future PW dinner menu's...

 Wait a minute!! Is that? ...Could it be?... No Way!

The Pioneer Woman knows my NAME!!! A SIGNED copy of her cookbook! I'm thrilled, extatic, over the moon and I still (hours after the fact) keep looking at that front page to make sure it's really there:

"Love to Michelle, Ree D :)"

Thank you Ryan for giving me such a great gift (weeks earlier he asked me, "doesn't she have all of her recipies online?") and thank you Nan for taking time out to have Ree sign this for me.
A bit of background story. Nan contacted me earlier to say that PW was doing a book signing in SLC on the 10th. I nonchalantly told Ryan about it and he bought the cookbook, sent it to Nan & arranged for her to send it back signed and everything! Sooooo worth the wait....
PW Cinnamon rolls anyone?
