It's almost February! The second month of the year, the shortest month of the year, and one of the best. There is so much to look forward to in February and here's just a couple.

1. Valentine's Day

Even if you don't have a significant other, Valentine's Day can still be a great holiday! Go out with your friends, buy them candy, and treat your self to a dozen roses for your dining room table. If you do have a special date planned, it's bound to be great!

2. Groundhog Day

Punxsutawney Phil comes out on the second day of the second month of every year. If he sees his shadow, then it means six more weeks of winter.

3. The end of cold is near

Near the end of February is when it starts to warm up. Where I live, the trees start to look beautiful and spring is in the air.

4. President's Day

We usually get a day off school for this Holiday, but it is also important to recognize George Washington and all the president's since.

5. Leap year

Once every four years, an extra day is added on to the end of February. Instead of only being four weeks long, it becomes four weeks and one day. Have fun on this day because you won't see it again for quite awhile.

6. Spring break

Okay, I realize spring break is in March, but I know that many of us have been planning our trips for months already. The start of February is one month closer to that trip everyone has been planning for.

Hope everyone has a good second month of 2016!
