My Greatest Adventure

Happy Valentine's Day, love bugs!
I hope your day is spent letting your friends and family know just how much you love them, today and everyday.

Well, I have had a fabulous time this week handing out homemade Valentine's to co-workers, family, and friends and spreading some love.

This morning, I have to celebrate my valentine, my greatest adventure.

So, I only thought it would be fitting for some quick little love notes to my favorite redheaded, freckled face, manly, handsome stud muffin.

{I am sure you all are thrilled. But I get a free pass to be mushy today, right?}

Dear Adam Trembley...

1// I love the way the mere mention of obtaining a box of sour patch kids instantly makes your heart sore and mouth water. If you keep eating them by the box full, I am pretty sure this will be you...

2// I love that you know everything there is to know about craft beer, and you're my favorite sommelier. Next adventure? We should totally create a beer paired dinner. Yup.

3// I love that you know how to squash a stressful day by simply hugging me. You're magic.

4// I love that you know my love language and make up for my complete lack in domesticity. Folded fresh laundry absolutely equals love.

5// I love that my knees buckle at the sound of you chatting with Bella Beast as she sits on your lap, inches from your face. You two are cute, and let's just venture to say I am going to be a completely sappy mess when we have littles a few years from now.

6// I love that when I'm out of town I can guarantee that you haven't turned on a single light in the house, have watched copious amounts of Sportscenter in the dark, and have lived off of whatever you have magically discovered at the bottom of our refrigerator. You're so resourceful and hilarious.

You are far more than I ever dreamed of and you know how to love me so well. You are selfless, caring, a great provider, respected, loved, hilarious, my best friend, and my greatest adventure.

Love you, buddy.

Date Night... Guess Who's Excited!

I seriously cannot contain myself any longer!
Why you ask? Well because the most handsome man in all the world is taking me out on the town tonight, of course!

I love date nights with BF. Whether we stay in and watch a movie in sweats, or he picks me up for a night out, any time with him is always fun!

Well tonight we plan to go see this...

Have any of you seen it yet? I know my dear friend Rachel @ Simple Little Joys said it was too funny and had a wonderfully sappy ending {my fave!}.

...and before the movie I could really go for one of these...

...and perhaps a post-movie healthy treat?

Well, one thing is for sure, he spoils me in every sense of the word. When BF and I spend time together he can make me laugh so hard my sides hurt for days. FOR DAYS.

And I love that after all this time I still get the butterfly feeling right before he comes to pick me up. And of course I am all about getting prettied up just for him - yay for a great excuse to dress up!

Now I am daydreaming about what outfit to wear... HELP!

Cheers to a fun evening!
