Happy Heart Day!

We finally did it! After 6 failed Valentine's Days...we had the best heart day ever! :) Really, the holiday of love has been jinxed for us and we didn't know if we would ever redeem ourselves and our failed attempts to make the holiday work for us!

Let me tell you about our day...

Since we save every penny that we make, we have been going without many things for awhile now. We decided not to give each other any big gifts this year, but decided to get a few things for our house. Blakely got a cute pink puppy for her Valentine's gift and she loves it! So we slept in and headed downtown to SHOP! We had the best time and since my dream is to be a personal shopper (I know what every store in town has, where the best deals are, and if I can make it for cheaper) we got lots of clearance purchases and good deals! Yay! I gave Matt a Golden Retreiver hat from one of our favorite stores, Staffords. He gave me two pairs of tortoise hoops from another one of our favorite stores, Firefly. I love my hoops and will probably be giving them for gifts this year, as they are the most popular item in Firefly.

We met Matt's dad for lunch at The Scoop, then drove around and showed him the lot that we are looking at.

We went to my FAVORITE store, Fireballs, where we talked to our good friend Laura for a long time (she is the owner)!! Then we came home and relaxed for awhile before we got ready for our date to BoneFish Grill! We got right in (b/c we had reservations a month in advance) and it was soooo good! Then we ran to the bookstore and still made it home by 10pm. WHAT A FUN DAY! I am so thakful for my husband! I love him sooo much!


On our way to dinner in Tallahassee! Matty was keeping his eyes on the road. We tried to take a pic in the restaurant but it was too dark.


I had to post this picture! Matt was holding my clutch for me and it looked hilarious!
