my heart

Yesterday was Hallmark holiday. I always make fun of it, yet, love receiving tulips and love from my love. (The mugs I got for us from Etsy. So cute!)

We went for casual Indian food for dinner and wine and dessert at a sushi place. Perfect date night in my book!

29...again

Yesterday we celebrated the anniversary of my 29th birthday with brunch and drinks for a fabulous Funday Sunday. I am happy to report most photos were actually taken with the big camera (although I didn't adjust the settings properly so the pics didn't turn out exactly as I wanted, but sometimes living in the moment is more important than documenting it.).

Although Joe specifically requested no gifts, my dear family and friends are more than generous in showing their affection. I couldn't be more blessed.

Off to enjoy the rest of my day with my favorite man. Happy Monday!

11 years ago today, I married the boy who made me feel like the most special person in the world on that day, and every day after.

Today, feeling special included:

a bouquet of my favorite flowers

lunch with friends

a cool spot he wanted to share with me (because he knew I'd love to take photos of it).

Love you babes, now and forever.

The hubs and I aren't huge Valentine's people but I do love receiving flowers from my main squeeze. And he knows I prefer tulips (especially when they are pink!) over roses.

A little arm candy from my arm candy always helps too.

We hosted the Project Runway party last night and one of my friends, who is a teacher, brought over the mother load of V day candy. Fortunately most of it was claimed by other friends, although we did keep the Lindor (love those truffles!).

Belated Valentine love from me to you!

Spending the lunch hour with the boys is always a good break from the work day. Now that my hours have changed I haven't been able to see them as much as I used to so I take every opportunity I can to visit.


Instead of buying them sweet treats I opted for books instead - Curious George and the I Love You book. They will last longer and are better for your teeth!


Another book made it all the way out to California for another little boy to enjoy. Like me and my sister with the boys, his parents have a hard time keeping him still for a photo!
