Love is in the Air...

I have been getting some flack that 1) we rarely update our blog and 2) there are rarely pictures of us...more of the places we've been without proof that we really were there. The main reason for that is not because Todd doesn't like pictures but I am a typical girl and hate pictures of myself so I never take them. I am working on it. I will try to take more pictures of us and the few adventures we go on.
Having said that, here is a picture of us at Natalie's wedding last December.
What a beautiful day it was!

Do you remember my last post when I showed you this cute project I had ahead?
Here is what it turned into! Todd helped me sand it and we both took turns putting layers of paint on it. Just don't look too close. The pait we got when we painted our bar stools was too dark of red and this was more of a pink color. Maybe next project I'll mix the 2 paints together and I can finally get the right shade of RED!

Overall, I think it turned out pretty cute. My parents got us that light behind it for Valentines Day. I had seen it at the store with my mom a while back and she went and snatched it for me. Thanks MOM and DAD! I love it! (Todd does too, he just doesn't get as excited about lights as I do<3)

I also made our valentines for our friends this year. I think they turned out pretty cute. I found on some website someone who had used candy canes for hearts on cards. I went over to Wal-Mart and guess what, they still had some and for a crazy $0.17 a box! That was the best bargain ever! I loved how they turned out.

Hopefully if I ever get my own classroom someday I can do this project with students. I can't beat the price and they turned out adorable!
And since it is almost Valentines Day I figured I would just make sure you all know how fabulous my husband is. He is truely the most amazing man I have ever known. He has been my friend since I was 12 and my best friend since I was 17! I am so fortunate to be able to spend eternity with him. Such a lucky girl!!!
