<strong>February</strong> <strong>2018</strong> | <strong>Sheffield</strong>
Family<br />
Focus<br />
Family Roster<br />
Mom: Chelsey, works for Health and Human Service<br />
Commission (HHSC of Texas). Went to undergrad at<br />
Baylor University. Originally raised in El Paso, Texas<br />
then family moved to Houston at 18 YO.<br />
Dad: Cobby, attorney for a surgical<br />
center. Went to undergrad at Lincoln<br />
University. Originally from Ghana,<br />
most of his family still lives there.<br />
Daughter:<br />
Nina, 3 YO.<br />
Loves ballet, PJ masks, and<br />
playing dress up.<br />
“We also have a greyhound who is a retired racer, Artie. We got him from a rescue organization. He sleeps most of the time but enjoys walking<br />
in the neighborhood and occasionally runs circles in our backyard. He also is terrified of rain and fireworks so depending on the time of year,<br />
we have to give him special love and attention.”<br />
What They Love to Do<br />
Cobby enjoys biking in the area and exploring<br />
new places with his bike. Chelsey likes going<br />
on walks with their dog and riding her bike, but<br />
admits that she is not quite as adventurous with<br />
bike trails as Cobby.<br />
Nina loves utilizing different playgrounds and<br />
activities at the YMCA and the bounce park. They<br />
spend a lot of time at the pool during the summer,<br />
whether it is at the YMCA or their community pool.<br />
Mom and dad enjoy going on food adventures and<br />
exploring new family owned restaurants. In the<br />
past, they were more involved with the Westcreek<br />
community garden, but haven’t been able to be<br />
as involved this season. They hope to be able<br />
to get more involved in the spring. As a family,<br />
they liked learning about gardening from other<br />
members of the community, especially since they<br />
are new to gardening. Nina really enjoyed pulling<br />
the vegetables though apparently, she wasn’t<br />
always the biggest fan of eating them. Surely<br />
many other parents can relate!<br />
Why They Love Living Here<br />
“We have lived here since the summer of 2015. We like living in the area due to the mature trees, walking and bike paths,<br />
accessible parks, and overall proximity to family friendly activities. We also enjoy the people in this community and love<br />
the diversity of the area.<br />
In the previous cities that we lived in, it was not as easy to get involved in the<br />
community, but that is not the case here. Over the past year, we organized<br />
our block’s National Night Out event which was the first time our block<br />
had this event in years. We also helped with Westcreek’s Easter Egg hunt,<br />
which our community had not had in years. We enjoyed the ability to build<br />
Love is in the Air<br />
How They Express It: “We don’t really do anything for Valentine’s Day. We<br />
exchange gifts and cards but it’s not a big holiday for us.”<br />
Ideal VD: Dad’s ideal Valentine’s Day would be going to a new restaurant<br />
that no one has heard about yet. Mom’s ideal Valentine’s Day would be going<br />
to the restaurant where Dad proposed, but unfortunately that restaurant is<br />
no longer in business. Other than that, Mom would enjoy spending time at<br />
home with a nice store bought meal while watching a movie.<br />
What Makes It Tick: “At Nina’s daycare, they have a Valentine’s Day party and<br />
exchange Valentine’s Day cards. We usually spend the night before Valentine’s<br />
Day getting her school cards ready.” Nina usually receives a timeless stuffed<br />
animal from Mom and Dad (who doesn’t love a new squishy friend?) and<br />
enjoys candy she received from her Valentine’s card exchange at her school.<br />

This service is through Langham Creek MUD (water bill) 281-579-4500. If<br />
you have any questions regarding the new service, please refer back to<br />

We thank you for your cooperation in this matter.<br />
Sincerely, Your <strong>Sheffield</strong> Board<br />
Deed Restriction Violations<br />
Do you know what the top three reasons management companies send<br />
out deed restriction letters? The first is not keeping your yard mowed and<br />
weeded. Mow your yard on a regular basis, keeping it a little higher in<br />
the summer months, which helps in water retention and crowding out<br />
weeds. The second is leaving your trashcans out in front of the house or<br />
garage. Trashcans should be kept out of sight (in the garage, behind the<br />
privacy fence or behind shrubs or a purpose built enclosure. Contact Crest<br />
Management if you wish to build a trashcan enclosure for Architectural<br />
Control forms. The third reason is mildew on the house siding. This often<br />
happens on shady areas of the house. Power washing or spraying with a<br />
cleaning solution for mildew often takes care of the problem.<br />
Garage Sale Signs<br />
Placing garage sale signs in the flower and shrub beds within the<br />
neighborhood is not permitted. Such signs found in the flower and shrub<br />
beds will be removed immediately and placed in the trash.<br />
Community Information and<br />
Meeting Notices<br />
If you are interested in receiving Board meeting email notifications,<br />
please go to the Crest website at www.crest-management.com and go to<br />
communities, then scroll down to <strong>Sheffield</strong> and there you will find a place<br />
to sign up with your email address and if you scroll to the bottom, you can<br />
obtain community information, legal documents or applications as well.<br />
Litter Pickup<br />
Just a reminder, if you see trash in the neighborhood, please be a good<br />
neighbor and pick it up and dispose of it properly. Otherwise, then trash<br />
will either end up in someone’s shrubbery or trees or else get washed<br />
down the storm sewers, contributing to mosquito breeding and backing<br />
up of the storm drains in times of heavy rains. Thanks to those of you who<br />
regularly pick up other people’s litter.<br />
Pets<br />
Please remember that you are not allowed by law to let your dogs and cats run<br />
loose in the neighborhood. If caught, you may receive a ticket in the amount of<br />
up to $500 for such a violation (we have had residents receive such a ticket). If<br />
you see loose pets you can contact Harris County Animal Control.<br />

A number of <strong>Sheffield</strong> residents either walk their dogs or let their cats<br />
run loose. It is a violation of deed restrictions to let your pet leave their<br />
poop on another resident’s lawn or the common grounds (they belong to<br />
all of <strong>Sheffield</strong>’s residents). If your pet does have to go to the bathroom,<br />
please be courteous and carry a plastic bag (store bags or the newspaper<br />
delivery bag are great for this), pick up the pile by placing your hand<br />
inside the bag, grab the pile through the bag, tie the bag up and throw it<br />
in the garbage. Leaving your pet waste around encourages the possible<br />
spread of pet disease, such as Parvo, which can be life threatening, or<br />
parasites.<br />
A number of complaints have been made about stray cats roaming the<br />
neighborhood. To report stray or unconfined animals call 281-999-3191,<br />
Monday thru Friday during the hours of 9:00 AM until 6:00 PM.<br />

Deed Restriction -<br />
Trailers, Rv’s And Boats<br />
It is a violation of our deed restrictions to park a trailer, mobile home,<br />
RV, boat, 18-wheeler tractor/trailer or camper in your driveway. You<br />
can park these on your property only if they are completely out of sight<br />
(in the garage, in the back yard behind the house). If you cannot meet<br />
these rules, it must be stored offsite (out of the neighborhood). If you<br />
have questions on this, please call the Assistant Community Property<br />

Engagement Stories<br />
featuring your neighbors!<br />
Chelsea & William<br />
What was supposed to be a family vacation to Las Vegas/the Grand Canyon<br />
the week before Thanksgiving, ended up turning into the most picture<br />
perfect proposal. The morning we were supposed to leave for the Grand<br />
Canyon, I wasn’t feeling well, and said I would stay back. However, William<br />
was very insistent that I come. I took some medicine, got ready really<br />
quickly, and we hopped into the car for our grand excursion. When we got<br />
to the Grand Canyon, it was freezing outside (to Texans of course!) and<br />
there was even some snow on the ground. It looked so magical (especially<br />
considering I have only seen snow a couple of times)! As I was getting out<br />
of the car, I noticed that one of my fake nails had fallen off (I had gotten my<br />
nails done the week prior) ON MY LEFT HAND! William’s mother had<br />
asked, “what hand did the nail fall off from?”, which I thought was a funny<br />
question to ask. When we got to the Grand Canyon, we stopped to take<br />
pictures (and get me a jacket because I did NOT plan for freezing weather).<br />
During one picture, William had bent down to sit for the picture, but in<br />
my head I was thinking “THIS IS IT! THERE IS WHERE WE GET EN-<br />
GAGED!” My heart started racing and I was so excited. But....all that was said was, “Chelsea, sit down so we can take the picture.” I was slightly disappointed,<br />
but I wouldn’t let it ruin my time. We went to go grab a bite to eat, and William and his family were asking when sunset was so we could go to one final stop:<br />
Yavapai Point. By the time we got there, I was freezing and felt like my hands and legs were going numb and was apprehensive to take more pictures. Then, in<br />
the most perfect spot, right as we were posing for a picture, William got down on one knee and showed me the most beautiful ring that he picked out himself.<br />
I didn’t even let him talk I was so in shock that I just went in for a giant hug. When his family asked what I said, I responded with, “oh he never asked!” He<br />
officially asked, I said “YES!!!!!!!”, and the rest of our “grand” love story is history!<br />
Lisa & Matt<br />
My wife and I met on a blind date – we were immediately attracted<br />
to each other. Later, when the time came, I wanted to have the<br />
perfect way to propose to her, so I conspired with my mother to<br />
create the ‘perfect day’. First, my sister, Rachel, took a picture<br />
of me at our favorite place – Castlewood State Park outside of St.<br />
Louis, Missouri. From this picture, a wooden jigsaw puzzle was<br />
created – the largest piece in the center being a sign with my special<br />
message… ‘Lisa, Will You Marry Me?’. The remaining pieces<br />
of the puzzle were randomly divided into handmade velvet bags<br />
that each had a handwritten calligraphy poem on them created<br />
by me describing a new location for the ‘Treasure Hunt’. Each location<br />
has some significance since it was a place where we had<br />
experienced something special together. At the last location, I<br />
presented her with the final piece and the diamond ring. My wife<br />
is a very special person who has given me so much…I love her.<br />

Violet & TJ<br />
"They" say that after a storm, comes a rainbow....it turns out that "they"<br />
are correct. I met my fiancé, TJ, about 20 years ago. Nothing became<br />
of it, except seeing the familiar face from time to time throughout the<br />
years. On July 15, I ran into the familiar face, yet once again. Except this<br />
time, it was God's timing and we were engaged on September 16. He is<br />
the biggest teddy bear with the kindest soul. He is the happily ever after<br />
that me & daughters needed for so long.... We will say "I do" on 2/11/18.<br />

CFISD Continues Growing<br />
Collaboration With City<br />
Of Houston For See To<br />
Succeed Initiative<br />
Following a very successful first year, CFISD bussed even more students<br />
- approximately 1,600 - to the Berry Center from January 8 th -11 th for free<br />
comprehensive eye exams and eyewear provided by the Harris County Health<br />
Department’s See to Succeed program. The See to Succeed program partners<br />
with several organizations and community volunteers throughout the area to<br />
organize weeklong vision clinics for students between the ages of 6 to 18 who<br />
have not passed state-mandated vision screenings initiated by school nurses.<br />
Transporting CFISD students to the clinics presented logistical and scheduling<br />
issues, but See to Succeed acquired mobile vision exam equipment. That<br />
allowed team members, volunteers and vision professionals to travel and<br />
establish more remote locations.<br />
And in the case of CFISD, that meant setting up the program at the Berry<br />
Center. Approximately 400 students per day were examined and fitted for<br />
glasses over the four days at no cost to participating families. Due to the<br />
10<br />
<strong>February</strong> <strong>2018</strong> | <strong>Sheffield</strong>
increase, a separate See to Succeed program will be set up at Fiest<br />
Elementary School to serve the high demand on that campus. The total<br />
increased from the roughly 1,100 students that participated a year ago.<br />
Consent forms to participate in the program were sent home via school<br />
nurses for those students who failed the vision screenings on campus<br />
multiple times or were deemed as needing an examination.<br />
According to Bevin Gordon, CFISD’s director for health services,<br />
approximately 5,500 students within the district will fail the statemandated<br />
vision screening each year. And from those, roughly half<br />
would not get a professional eye examination to address the issues.<br />
Each day of the four began with eligible students shuttled by CFISD buses<br />
to and from their campuses to the Berry Center. Upon arrival, See to<br />
Succeed employees and volunteers greeted the students and led them to<br />
the auditorium for registration as well as distributing stickers for each to<br />
help identify students throughout the day. The process was broken down<br />
into stations, including pre-screening rooms and waiting areas, before<br />
each student would ultimately visit with an eye doctor.<br />
Stations included distance acuity, color, stereo, near point of accommodation<br />
and conversion, slit lamp, auto refraction and refraction, optical frame<br />
selection, check out and data entry. If a student needed an immediate<br />
referral or follow-up consultation, program workers were ready to call<br />
parents and guardians. Three urgent cases were caught in the first two days.<br />

The entire screening process lasted between 2-4 hours per student. During<br />
their time at the Berry Center, students were accompanied by CFISD clinic<br />
assistants, who joined them as chaperones. Breakfast and lunch were<br />
provided to students by the CFISD nutrition services department to ensure<br />
meals were not missed as a result of a student being at the Berry Center.<br />
The partnership with CFISD and its personnel made the four-day operation<br />
a smooth success, said See to Succeed Manager Patricia Watson.<br />
More than 200 employees from Watson’s team joined many volunteers to make<br />
the program run as smooth as it does. Participating students will have eyeglasses<br />
delivered to their home campuses in roughly four weeks, a part of the process<br />
almost more rewarding as helping each student through his or her exam.<br />
The See to Succeed program has been in operation from its primary Heights<br />
location by the City of Houston Health Department since 2007. Since its<br />
start, the program has screened more than 22,000 children and distributed<br />
over 19,000 glasses to those in need. See to Succeed program partners<br />
include the Houston Department of Health and Human Services, University<br />
of Houston, San Jacinto College, Berkeley Eye Center, public and private<br />

Cy-Fair Hs and Community<br />
Celebrate Football State<br />
Title With Parade<br />
Cy-Fair High School students, staff, fans and community<br />
members lined the parade route.<br />
The Cy-Fair High School football team was honored and<br />
celebrated for winning the 2017 Class 6A Division II state<br />
championship, as the school, alumni and community members<br />
came together for a parade on January 12 th and rally that<br />
followed at the high school football field.<br />
The Bobcats captured the state title with their 51-35 win over<br />
Waco Midway on December 23 rd at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.<br />
Cy-Fair was the third football program in CFISD history to reach<br />
a state championship game, but is the first in the district to win<br />
it all.<br />
A rally at the Cy-Fair football stadium followed, as fans filled the stands and<br />
cheered throughout the ceremony. In addition to congratulatory speeches by the<br />
high school administration, Pustejovsky offered thanks to not only his coaches<br />
and players, but the community in helping the Bobcats win the championship.<br />
Each member of the football team, film crew and athletic training staff was then<br />
introduced.<br />
Ray Zepeda, CFISD director of athletics, closed the rally by presenting the state<br />
championship trophy to the Bobcats with the crowd giving a raucous ovation. “It’s<br />
good recognition for our players because they did accomplish something that very<br />
few people get to do,” Pustejosky said. “I’m very proud of them.”<br />
Cy-Fair fans and community members lined Cypress North<br />
Houston Road, where the parade began near the high school<br />
baseball field. Following a turn at Telge Road, hundreds of<br />
students and staff from nearby Lamkin Elementary School and<br />
Arnold Middle School cheered on the parade as well. Three<br />
vehicles from the Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department carried<br />
the football team, while coaches, student trainers and other<br />
program personnel rode in other vehicles.<br />
The Cy-Fair Air Force JROTC, marching band, Brigade drill team<br />
and cheerleaders also took part in the parade. Cy-Fair Head<br />
Football Coach Ed Pustejovsky and his wife Marianne served as<br />
the parade’s grand marshals.<br />
“It was a time to be able to bring our staff, our students, our<br />
alumni and our community together to savor the moment and<br />
celebrate this historical event,” said Cy-Fair Principal Ana Martin.<br />
“I’m still processing it all and what it means to Cy-Fair High<br />
School and what it means to Cy-Fair ISD. We’re just so proud of<br />
the hard work of our football team, our coaches and our staff.”<br />

Boy Scouts of America -<br />
Copperhead District<br />
For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found<br />
in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant<br />
in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting<br />
helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership<br />
skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.<br />
The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities<br />
that allow them to:<br />
• Try new things.<br />
• Provide service to others.<br />
• Build self-confidence.<br />
• Reinforce ethical standards.<br />

Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as<br />
individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility<br />
and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made,<br />
peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made. Scouting<br />
provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting through<br />
the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which help our<br />
youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area<br />
Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5<br />
to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing<br />
units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). Our Units typically meet weekly.<br />
Many of our units are supported by the local Elementary Schools<br />
including: Birkes, Copeland, Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway, Holmsley,<br />
Horne, Jowell, Lowery, Metcalf, Owens, Postma, Robinson, Sheridan,<br />

ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE<br />
18081 West Road, 281-859-4141, cornerstoneumc.org<br />
Ash Wednesday is the first day of the Season of Lent occurring forty<br />
days (excluding Sundays) before Good Friday. It is traditionally a time<br />
for worshippers to gather together with penitent hearts to have their<br />
foreheads marked with a cross of ashes in an act of penance and contrition<br />
before the Lord. On Wednesday evening, <strong>February</strong> 14 th at 7 PM. we will<br />
be having an Ash Wednesday worship celebration. This service will include<br />
the marking of ashes on each worshippers head followed by a quiet time of<br />
reflection at the altar. In addition, as we do each Ash Wednesday service,<br />
there will be something “extra special” to illustrate God’s forgiveness of<br />
our sins. Special music will be provided by the Chancel Choir. This will be a<br />
meaningful service and everyone is invited to attend.<br />
St. Cuthbert Church<br />
SHROVE TUESDAY PANCAKE SUPPER<br />
You are invited to St. Cuthbert Episcopal Church’s Shrove Tuesday<br />
Pancake Supper on <strong>February</strong> 13 th from 5:30-7 PM. We will eat pancakes<br />
and play bingo! Shrove Tuesday originated during the Middle Ages. Food<br />
items like meats, fats, eggs, milk and fish were regarded as restricted<br />
during Lent. To keep such food from being wasted, many families would<br />
have big feasts on Shrove Tuesday. The English tradition of eating<br />
pancakes on Shrove Tuesday came about as a way to use as much milk,<br />
fats and eggs as possible before Ash Wednesday began. In France, the<br />
consumption of all fats and fatty foods on this day coined the name “Fat<br />
Tuesday” or Mardi Gras.<br />
ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICES<br />
You are also invited to the Ash Wednesday services at St. Cuthbert<br />
Episcopal church on <strong>February</strong> 14 th at 6:30 AM, 4:30 PM and 7 PM. All<br />
services have Holy Communion and the imposition of ashes. The 4:30 PM<br />
service is designed for children and their families. Ash Wednesday marks<br />
the beginning of the season of Lent, which is dedicated to reflection,<br />
prayer and fasting in preparation for Easter.<br />
LENTEN PROGRAM: NAVIGATING EMOTIONAL WELLNESS<br />
Everyone is invited to the Lenten program: Navigating Emotional<br />
Wellness, which will meet on Wednesday evenings beginning <strong>February</strong><br />
21 st , from 6:30-7:30 at St. Cuthbert Church. We all experience the full<br />
range of emotions - happiness, frustration, fear, anger, joy, sadness, awe,<br />
peace - emotions that are given to us by God. As our city recovers from<br />
the trauma of Harvey, many of us have felt these emotions in new ways.<br />
Scripture is filled with emotion, both God’s emotions as well as those of<br />
26<br />
His people. Our emotions influence our lives as they inform, motivate<br />
and guide us in what we do or don’t do, say or don’t say and react or not.<br />
Being intentionally aware of our emotions and navigating our reaction to<br />
them will benefit every aspect of our lives. Come be a part of this Lenten<br />
study as we prepare ourselves to meet the risen Christ. Younger children<br />
will explore the movie Inside Out. This movie centers around an 11-year<br />
old girl and her emotions as her family makes a cross-country move. The<br />
nursery will be open if requested. St. Cuthbert Church is located at 17020<br />
West Road, at the corner of West and Queenston. Visit stcuthbert.org for<br />
more information about all of our events.<br />

Special CHEERS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing<br />
Occupational Therapy to children with special needs of all ages living in and<br />

animals, including horses, dogs, goats, pigs, lambs and rabbits as an integral<br />
part of each child’s therapy treatment plan. Being a non-profit organization,<br />
we are constantly looking for extra help around the farm. Therefore, Special<br />
CHEERS would like to welcome all high school and college-aged students<br />
interested in working with both children and animals to volunteer after school,<br />
on the weekends or seasonally (i.e., summer camp). Please call our director,<br />

required of all individuals applying for a volunteer position at our facility.<br />
Foster Children: Preparation<br />
For Adult Living<br />
When foster children reach age 18, they are considered independent. That’s difficult<br />
for kids who have been wards of the state, with necessities arranged by caseworkers<br />
with state funds. Now they’ll have to figure out how to organize themselves and make<br />
their money last a whole month. Fortunately, Child protective Services offers them a<br />
program to help prepare for independence: Preparation for Adult Living (PAL). The<br />
year-long course culminates in an all-day workshop hosted by the National Council<br />
for Jewish Women (NCJW). The course is held at Junior Achievement’s BizTown,<br />
using computer kiosks sponsored by local businesses. Want to help with PAL or<br />
other NCJW programs that help change lives with hands-on community service?<br />

Dachshund Rescue<br />
DREAM Dachshund Rescue, Education & Adoption Mission is a<br />
Houston-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing<br />
abandoned Dachshunds and finding new homes for Dachshunds<br />

working closely with local veterinarians, provide our Dachshunds with<br />
quality medical care and loving foster homes until they are adopted<br />
into carefully screened, forever homes. DREAM is currently looking<br />
for caring volunteers to provide temporary foster care for our many<br />
rescued Dachshunds-in-need, currently awaiting adoption. Prior<br />
to their adoption, DREAM continues to pay for all medical care and<br />
monthly heart worm prevention. There is no long-term commitment<br />
required. Food, water, shelter and a soft place to rest is all you need to<br />
provide. The “love” just comes naturally. Questions? Please send us an<br />
email to: Contact-Us@DreamDachs.org and a volunteer will respond<br />
to you right away with all the information you need! Ready to Foster?<br />

<strong>February</strong> Is Creative<br />
Romance Month<br />
<strong>February</strong> is being Creative Romance Month and many of you may feel like that is a<br />
lot of pressure! Don’t worry though because we’ve put together a list of romantic,<br />
yet creative ideas to make the month of <strong>February</strong> full of romance.<br />
Go On A Surprise Trip. What better way to spend time together than by going on<br />
a surprise trip? Instead of just telling your partner that you planned a getaway,<br />
make them work to figure out what their Valentine’s present is. Write the name of<br />
the destination on a piece of paper and cut it up into pieces that they have to put<br />
together. If you want to really build up the anticipation, you can always give them<br />
one piece of the puzzle a day leading up to Valentine’s Day.<br />
Kidnap Them For A Day. If your partner is into fun gags, put a blindfold on him or<br />
her and drive them to your chosen destination before you take the blindfold off. It<br />
can be something as simple as a romantic dinner to their favorite restaurant or a<br />
visit to their favorite museum. Tell them little clues along the way to see if they can<br />
actually guess where they are going.<br />
Act Like A Tourist. Just because you have lived in a city for a while it doesn’t mean<br />
that you’ve visited everywhere there is to go. For Valentine’s Day, do a little bit of<br />
research about restaurants or attractions that you and your partner have never<br />
been to before. Then on Valentine’s Day, act like tourists at the place you end up<br />
going too. Don’t just rush through the experience. Really soak it all in, spend a lot of<br />
time there and just have a good time overall.<br />
Can’t Get Away For A Few Days? Book A Hotel Room. If you and your partner want<br />
to go on a vacation, but don’t have the time, consider booking a really nice hotel<br />
room for 1-2 nights. Even though you won’t actually be leaving your city, it might feel<br />
like it if you choose the right hotel. Not only should the hotel you choose have plenty<br />
of activities and amenities, but it should be in a location that will allow you to easily<br />
enjoy restaurants and shops within walking distance.<br />
Share The Romance. If you and your partner are the kind of couple that likes to<br />
outdo one another, consider trading off. On even days you could plan romantic<br />
activities and on odd days it’s your partner’s turn. This can last for only a few days,<br />
a week or the entire month of <strong>February</strong>! If you really want to wow them consider<br />
going on a day cruise on your day or going camping for the night.<br />

RECIPES<br />
Lighter Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo<br />
Ingredients:<br />
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts<br />
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth<br />
4 cloves garlic, minced<br />
ground black pepper to taste<br />
2 cups heavy cream<br />
2 egg yolks<br />
salt to taste<br />
1 pound fettuccine<br />
1 sprig chopped fresh parsley<br />
2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided<br />
Directions: Combine chicken breasts and chicken broth in a saucepan<br />
over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to<br />
low; simmer for 5 minutes. Turn breasts, cover and simmer another 5<br />
minutes. Remove from heat and let sit with the cover on for 15 minutes.<br />
Remove chicken breasts from the broth and set aside to cool, reserving<br />
the broth in the saucepan. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut<br />
into bite-size slices. Return the chicken broth to medium heat and cook<br />
until reduced to 1 cup. Stir garlic, black pepper and heavy cream into the<br />
reduced broth; bring to a simmer and remove from heat.<br />
Whisk egg yolks in a bowl until smooth. Beat 1 tablespoon of the warm<br />
cream mixture into the eggs until thoroughly incorporated; repeat until<br />
about 1/2 cup of the warm cream mixture is used. Whisk the warm<br />
cream and egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining<br />
cream mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until<br />
the mixture almost comes to a simmer and thickens, about 5 minutes.<br />
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.<br />
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine in<br />
boiling water, stirring occasionally, until nearly cooked through, about<br />
7 minutes. Drain. Stir parsley, 1 cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano and cream<br />
mixture into the pasta. Remove from heat, cover and let sit for a few<br />
minutes until thick. Fold chicken and 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano into<br />
the pasta mixture to serve. Source: allrecipes.com<br />

3 eggs<br />

2 teaspoons vanilla extract<br />
1/2 teaspoon almond extract<br />
1/2 cup chopped almonds<br />
Cream Cheese frosting - optional<br />

square baking pan.<br />

cheese and eggs. Stir in vanilla and almond extracts. Gradually mix in flour,<br />
baking powder and salt. Fold in almonds and pour the batter into pan.<br />
