{Nights Out}

Last week Blake and I went on some pretty fun dates. We started the week out, as usual, going to karaoke on Tuesday night at the Pizza Pie Cafe [it has become a weekly traditon with our friends]. It was a FANTASTIC night! It started off strong with the lovely Amanda Call singing Adele [she did an amazing job] then ended with the dynamic duo Marylynn and Blake bustin out the Maggie May by Rod Stewart! They all did marvelous! Later on in the week we went to Nickel City with Blakes cousins Carly and Jenna. Blake and I tore it up on the Pharoahs Palace! It is one of those games where you drop the nickels in and try to make the other nickels fall off to get tickets. I must say, we rock at it! Then Blake almost won us a TON of tickets on the game Stacker [the one where you line up the blocks and try to get to the top]. He did amazing and almost made it to the top twice but sadly, he did not win ... The fun date week continued with the classic dinner and a movie date. We went out to the Rumbi Island Grill for some delicious food. They have great sweet potatoe fries. For the movie we went and saw Gone. We got there just as the movie started so we didn't have to watch all the previews and to make it even better, we snuck in candy [sour punch straws, bottle caps and raisinettes]! They were quite delicious! We really enjoyed the movie, it was suspensful and original!





To make the week even better, Blake spontaneously went out and bought a bunny! At first I was a little worried about the bunny biting me but he turned out to be so sweet! His name is Monty and he is the cutest, fluffiest bunny ever! The way he hops around is just so ADORABLE! The little guy gets going pretty fast and can jump pretty high! He is actually a pretty calm bunny, you can just sit with him and he will just cuddle up, kinda like a dog. Blake is pretty in love with the little guy. He is quite precious.

Valentines Day

Yesterday was a glorious day! I was spoiled by my best friend! Me being me [the impatient girl that I am] couldn't wait to get/give the presents we had gotten eachother so we exchanged our gifts the night before!

[A little back story]

Every day that I go to work I bring a lunch and it is usually in a plastic grocery bag or a little back pack thing I have. So one day, while I was with Blake, I was getting ready for work aka packing my lunch I said that one day I would love to get a lunch box! One of those Disney princess ones or something like that.

So there is the back story.

So the night before Valentines Day he came over and gave me my present. When I opened it up I was SO excited! It was my Disney princess lunch box with Cinderella, Ariel and Rapunzel on the front! It has been the best present ever! I have packed a lunch in it every day, well the 2 days so far!

Then I gave him his Valentines Day gifts. He loves Bob Dylan and Life magazine did an entire magazine all on him! We were in Target when he saw it and he wanted it real bad! Luckily I was able to talk him out of buying it that day. I went back the next day and bought that magazine for him! I also made him a gift. I got a deck of normal playing cards and used distress ink on them, to make them look older. I then wrote down 52 things that I love about him and glued one onto each card.
When I gave him his gifts he was thrilled about the Bob Dylan magazine and I think a little bit confused about the cards [I asked him later and he thought I gave them to him to teach him some game or something]. So he had set the cards aside and was looking at the magazine when I told him he needed to look at the cards because they weren't just any playing cards. When he opened up the box and got the cards out and started reading them he was so happy! I thought that it was a pretty good gift and I am so glad that he thought so too!

The next day [Valentines Day] Blake came over to my apartment and brought me even more presents! He brought me flowers and chocolate covered strawberries! They were the most DELICOUS strawberries I have ever had! I felt bad because I didn't get Blake anything else :( The spoils went on even later that night because when I got off work I went over to Blake's and there was Texas Roadhouse and Pirates of the Caribbean 3 waiting for me! He knows me all to well because Texas Roadhouse is my favorite!

It was definitly the most AMAZING Valentines Day I have ever had! I am so thankful that I was able to spend it with the love of my life!
