A Day of Love

I realize that Valentines was a week ago, but I just finally remembered to bring my camera with me today so that I could down load the few pictures that we took. We had a very special Valentine's Day. No it wasn't anything extravagant, but it was about each other. Valentine's is such a commercialized holiday, but it is still such a fun day to celebrate with your loved one. Yes we should celebrate the love that the Lord has blessed us with in our spouses every day, but sadly I know that we don't. We don't always take time out of everyday to show each other just how much we love them. So Valentine's is a great day to do that. We did nothing but be with each other the whole day! It was also a great day for me because I was to do nothing, Sam wanted to shower me!

I'm not a girl that is huge on getting flowers. Yes, they are gorgeous and I love to receive them when I do, but its not a must for me. My husband knows the perfect way to my heart though because Friday he surprised me with not a dozen roses, but a dozen cupcakes from Sprinkles!! Yes it was a bit of an overload on cupcakes, but it just shows the thought! (side note: we shared many of our cupcakes; we spread the love with cupcakes!) Then Saturday morning Sam fixed us heart pancakes and then we took advantage of the romantic comedies on tv! After being lazy we went and played tennis (one of our favorite things to do together) and then went shopping for the food Sam needed to make his special Valentine's dinner! (side note: let me just say that everyone else must have had the same idea to cook at home because the stores where PACKED!) Sam crafted a delicious 3 course Italian meal which was followed up by a fondue picnic and movie in the living room (we never watch movies, and we enjoyed a few in one day!). I love that my husband loves to spoil me and make a special day for us! Thanks sammy, I love you!!




On a completely different topic, I need to get my hair done! I have only gone to someone in the DFW area once or twice because I usually go home. I don't think we'll be able to make it home before I will be in dire need, so does anyone have a great hair person that you would be willing to share with me around here??? (Oh, I must also mention that I am kinda "cheap" when it comes to getting my hair done, so keep that in mind!)

Love is in the Air!

To get in the Valentine's spirit this week I made some yummy valentine goodies!!! My mom gave me the cute mini heart cake model pan last valentine's so I was really excited that I was finally going to get to use it. I think the cakes turned out pretty cute and tasted pretty good too!! I have no idea what our valentine plans are this year. Sam just told me to not make any plans for Saturday and to not get in our account online so that I would not ruin any surprises! I love surprises!!!

I have been wanting to see some movies. I want to see the following: He's Just Not That into You, Confessions of a Shopaholic, Bridewars, and Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Any thoughts/opinions? We NEVER go see movies, so I want to make it a really good one if we go!
