Photodump: Valentine's Day 2014


I had SUCH an amazing Valentine's Day weekend!  I worked until 1:30, and headed straight to Matthew's house.  When I got there he had a couple of little gift baggies waiting for me as well as something reeeally big that I've been needing...a new desk for my craft room!  We saw it a few weeks ago while out shopping and I loved the color and design.
He had planned on having it put together before I got there, but due to mix ups with the post office it arrived late and he didn't get it until about an hour before I got there.  That worked out for the best though, because we have so much painting to do in there.  It won't fit through the door once it's put together.  I can't wait to share photos of the craft room as we make progress!
So what were the goodies in the bag?  Just some of the best things EVER:
 I have been wanting Jelly Shoes for SUCH a long time!  I used to wear them all the time when I was a kid, and I was fawning over these the other day on ModCloth, so he went ahead and ordered them for me!  I was afraid they might be nasty to break in...break out the band-aids sort of nastiness, but to my pleasant surprise...they are extremely comfortable and I haven't had problems so far!  They're perfect!  Also...I love the way they smell :) :) :)
 Look at these LUSH goodies!  So far I've only used some of the MMM bath melt (the pink one).  OMG it smells soooooooo yummy!  I can't wait to try the other ones!  From left to right they are: Floating Island Bath Melt, MMM Bath Melt, Ickle Baby Bot Bath Bomb, Space Girl Bath Bomb, and the ever popular Sex Bomb.
I also got a new smoothie/blender cookbook and I can't wait to try out some of the recipes.  I'm most excited about the breakfast smoothie recipes and am eager to find favorites to help out with my health/weight loss goals!

Aaaaaand we went to Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, which is about an hours drive from us.  We are both HUGE animal lovers so I'll just let the photos tell you what a great time we had:

















What's your favorite animal to see at the zoo?

  1. Ah I love those jelly shoes! I had some lime green ones and black sparkly ones when I was a kid. 90's trends are the best! It's good they're not bad to break in, my lime green ones hurt!
    What a cute v-day!

    1. Black sparkly ones sound so great! I love bright colors, but they have some clear white ones that I think I might have to try now too!

  2. What an awesome date! I think there is a place like that near me, &this post has put me in the mood to go! Believe it or not, my fiance has never been to a zoo, so I think an up close encounter like this would be pretty awesome for him.
