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 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?
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!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute v-day!
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!
DeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteOh man that would be so awesome to take someone to the zoo for the first time.
DeleteYou can feed them up close! That's so bloody cool!
ReplyDeleteIt was so fun!
DeleteI can not believe how close the animals got. The lighting in the animals photos is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I loved their little slimey noses and they were surprisingly very gentle...well most of them at least hahaha!
DeleteAwww, what a sweet mean you have. c:
ReplyDeleteAdorable animal pics!! Looks like tons of fun.

DeleteOh my goodness jellies!! I totally remember those, except I couldn't wear them as a child growing up because the roads and sidewalks would get so hot they would start to melt haha! And it looks like you guys had a great time with all the animals. Such lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteEeeep I haven't even thought about the heat affected them haha! I'll try and stay away from concrete! Thanks!
