Valentine's Day

It was my year to plan Valentine's Day, and I must say Scottie got spoiled. I did the 14 days til Valentines for him, and each day he got a random gift/surprise in a secrete location. The best part was that I would sing a little sing to him once he found his clue and gift. It sounded something like..."On the 10th day of Valentine's your true love gave to you _______. Anyways I loved doing it for him, and appreciated how excited he was each day! He said his favorites were the homemade cinnamon rolls and the hidden ice cream in the freezer.

Me taking a picture of myself with the beautiful flowers Scottie gave me at work for Valentine's Day...Cheesy but so great!

This year for dinner Scottie asked if we could stay home. I agreed but decided I would do something extra special....So I planned and executed a surprise 3 course fondue meal. I was super proud of the way it turned out!

Some of our favorite things on the menu were: garlic cheese bread, marinated steak and chicken, pizza strips, rice crispy treats, bananas, and oreos. We had lots of other dipping essentials and used a cheese and chocolate sauce.

Some of our desserts. We were so stuffed by the end of dinner!

Valentine's presents!!!

One of my favorite gifts Scottie gave me was our OHIO Wall. He developed and put some of our favorite OHIO pictures in frames. He was so creative and wrapped a card telling me to go upstairs in the office, and this is what I found!!! LOVE IT
Happy Valentine's Day! I feel so blessed I get to share the rest of my Valentine's with my Scottie Jay and Best Friend.

February Fun

It's hard for me to believe February is almost over! I sure have been busy which means I have been a bad blogger, so here is my attempt to get caught up.
Hosting Steph's Baby Shower- Here is the cute invite:) just love it!

I was able to host a baby shower for my dear friend Stephanie! She has been a rock in my life and has been a perfect example to me during some hard times. I know she will be an excellent mother and I am so excited it's finally her turn!

Some of the decorations...

Some of the party goers-we played games, ate delicious food, and opened some adorable gifts.

Lots of yummy food...thanks to many helpers!

A day off of work= equals lunch with some girl friends. We went to Pei Wei and loved it:)

Turkey dinner feast- I bought two turkeys this year since they were only 19 cents a lb...so I had to get rid of one and thought the best way to do it would be to have a dinner party with some friends.

Kimberly, Steph, and Me

Scottie and Me with my homemade apple pie...it was yummy:)
Still to come Valentine's Day, Grandma's funeral, and Spring Break. So stay tuned!!!

Snow DAY!!! Or should I say ICE Evening

I just found out my evening classes were cancelled due to an ice storm. I am overjoyed...like when I was 5 years old and would go ballistic when I would find out I didn't have to go to school because it was a snow day!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I can enjoy the night with my cute hubby instead of being in class until 10pm!
Thank you crazy OHIO weather:)
Any good weather stories you want to share?
