Simple Date Night

We started our night with a fun dinner of appetizers.

We each picked one that we wanted and then decided on one together. We tried to be a little healthy so we also had a salad. 

After dinner came the not so fun part...but very important. We re-did our budget! We have felt the overwhelming need to get our food storage lately, so we successfully figured out a way to accomodate that and plan for a possible future move (grad school next year).

 

And then we decided to have a little fun and play the Wii! It helped the both of us lighten up after such a serious topic! Yeah for simple date nights!

Valentines Day Continued...

So because Phillip had to sleep this weekend, he said that he had a Valentines Day surprise that he'd do on Tuesday!  After getting to sleep in, I woke up to the yummy aroma of blueberry muffins (my favorite kind too)!

Then I opened an adorable card with a cover that said something about coloring my world...and Phillip wrote about how kids must be onto something when it comes to stress because they never have any!  So to cure us of our stressful week, we were going to be kids for the morning and laugh while watching cartoons and coloring!  It was silly and fun, but it really did help!  I love that my sweet husband was so creative and thoughtful!

Happy Valentines

On Saturday morning Phillip got home from work around 8:30 am, and woke me up so he could take me to breakfast!  My favorite breakfast is biscuits and gravy, but since they are a little hard to make, he opted to take me to IHOP instead!  So yummy!

{Don't mind the awesome morning look for me and 24 hours of no sleep for Phil}

After breakfast we picked up our taxes from our tax guy (yeah for having them done so early) and found out we were getting returns!  Although we paid an arm and a leg to get them done, it was so worth it!

Then it was off to the hospital to visit this adorable baby!  Miss Morgynn!  She gave her mommy a run for her money after 23 hours of labor, but she was oh so worth it - all 9 lbs 2 oz of her!  We have already dubbed ourselves her babysitter!  

Phillip ended up going to sleep for the rest of the day (he had to work at midnight).  I did wake him up for our traditional heart shaped meatloaf Valentines dinner.  I even found this yummy new pomegranate sparkling cider!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm Going To Be An Aunt...

AGAIN!  It's a boy! 

 

This precious little guy is gonna be a big brother!

8 Years!!!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this man!  We celebrated our 8th Anniversary today!  He is amazing and I am truly blessed to be married to him!  We had a crazy busy schedule and didn't get to do much together until dinner time.  We ate at Olive Garden and then came home for a relaxing evening where I surprised Phillip with a present he's been wanting for a long time!  He had no clue that I had been saving money behind his back forever (oops)!  I gave him a card that said "Sometimes I just don't know why I put up with you..." then the inside said "...and then I remember you put up with me!"  Then I wrote something like "And since "wii" put up with each other for this long...!"  

He just kept saying are you serious?!  No way!  It was a fun surprise!
