I'm Sueing

They can't charge me 5 cents an M&M. Even if they are the peanut ones. This isn't over you candy machine of unfulfilled hopes and dreams. What a letdown.

Lucky in Love

The evening was spent side by side doing what we do best: Eating, eating, and more eating!

Shared huge, greasy onion rings before enjoying Chicken Florentine in raspberry sauce and chicken pesto . . . which we ate too fast to photograph (plus pictures of us eating is enough to make you lose your appetite.)

Here's where we ate ourselves sick . . . after we exchanged tokens of love.


He got that (it was an idea I got off of one comment listed on my Blog (thanks Chelsea!) It's Crush Soda and on the front is written: "Someone has a crush on you" along with reasons why I have a "crush" on him listed on each soda bottle. He also got some huge basketball shoes that we have to return. Anyway . . . while he was layering up his socks to better fit the monstrous shoes . .

I read some romantic words, along side this . . .

Which I have been wanting to experience forever but completely forgot I had, and it was such a surprise! We get to attend a cooking class called Kelsey's Favorites. She has her own cooking show on the Food Network and we get to see her March 12th! Which is also funny because that is the very day of our engagement two years ago. I love those little coincidences. And that plus one of these . . .

Equals a pretty sweet V-Day! I saw it Valentine's Day and picked it as a gift to myself, Braden even left work to come and pay with "his credit card" so it felt more like a real present! And it was his idea to go into Real Deals that day so Thanks Husband!

Love Him! xoxoxox

Love is . . .

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

~ Corinthians

Mental Block

As another Valentine's Day quickly approaches I find myself at a total loss on how to express my sincere feelings of love and appreciation to my wonderful husband. I always want to do something extra special and the only ideas I seem to come up with involve alot of spending. For those budget-conscience souls out there in the blogger world I ask that you share your stories of success. Even stories of failure can be the source of great inspiration and usually aren't failures at all but the most beloved memories. I know so many creative people and I'm sure everyone has a story to tell- take this chance to reminesce and in so doing save a poor girl's Valentine's. Thank you!

Happy Valentine's Day!!
