Love Day/Birthday Recap

Happy Love Day! 

I hope everyone is having a great Valentine's Day! Whether you have a Valentine or not, do something for yourself today-- love yourself and your Heavenly Father!

My birthday was last weekend but we aren't really birthday people. I mean, don't get me wrong we celebrate, but we don't make a huge deal about it. Cool, I'm 23. I can legally...what? 

As most of you know I am obsessed with all things Bath & Body Works (more about my obsession with the candles here). I grabbed this candle (okay, and a dozen other things) and I love it!

Cards are my favorite part of holidays. I usually keep my absolute favorites in a box in the office closet. 

My MIL emailed that a package was arriving and I should be on the lookout. You should have seen the look on my face when k-cups were exploding out of the box! Okay, not exploding, but you get the idea.

Ahem. We are still loving our Keurig and definitely recommend it! More on our Keurig here. 

Also not pictured are 2 additional boxes of k-cups. We are good on coffee until the new year! :)

My friend took me out for coffee and I snagged this cutie! Love it. 

Every time I walk by the fridge I get this song stuck in my head! 

I changed up our little board for Valentine's Day/Spring. Ahem, note the card from Fenway apologizing for his obnoxious behavior. (More on that back here). 

So whatever you're doing today, do something you love. Tell the ones you love that you love them! 

Our First Trip to DC

The other day I was thinking about when my husband & I went to DC last year (4 weeks before our wedding) to look at the apartment we committed to sight unseen. Side note: My dad had been up to see it and said he would live there, so we agreed.

It was so much fun. It was the first official trip we had taken 100% on our own-- we planned it, booked it, found hotels. . you get the idea.

We did lots of tourist things-- White House, monument, went out to eat, and did lots of walking.

We headed to DC the day after we spent 7 hours at Aquatica (Orlando water park). My husband got a lovely sunburn and was in lots of pain. Poor guy. His whole front was bright red.

Can't ya tell?

Can you see his red neck? Ha, no pun intended. 

Anyways, we were staying in Rosslyn (Small "city" outside DC-- More on that here). We walked a few blocks to hop on the metro and we were downtown in no time.

One night we went to a cute little healthy restaurant for dinner. It was so nice and I was loving every bit of it! My husband, who is not a health food nut, was not pleased. About halfway through, he started acting weird and itching himself from the sunburn. Practically in tears. Poor guy.

Ahem. Imagine a guy, sitting at a table with a woman, sticking his hands up his shirt practically in tears. 

He kept itching himself and I was getting annoyed. My husband spent all day away for work stuff and I was cramped in the hotel room while he was gone. All I wanted to do was go out when he got home. Now he wants to go back to the hotel? Ugh.

We rushed out of there because he said he had to go. He starting itching to the point of tears.

While walking back to our hotel, in the middle of the street I shouted:

Stop touching yourself!

Yup. My poor husband. God love him. :-)

The Past 6 Years

Six years ago today yesterday I started dating my now husband.

Neither of us know exactly how it happened because we were so young. Shoot, I don't even remember when I met him! We think it was when I was in 7th grade and he was in 8th grade. How sad is that? Guess that means you've been together a long time, maybe?

We were such little babies! 

FYI-- I would give away my left arm if my legs could be that skinny again. 

Here's to many, many more years! Love you N.
