relationship pro tip

so steve and i are busy enjoying deep fried mini tacos and left over easter candy so let me just give you all a tip.  if you and your significant other are both iphone users i would highly recommend checking out the "avocado" app.  it is a couple's app that lets you privately text, and do all sorts of other really corny stuff like send each other hugs and kisses and draw each other pictures.

it's extremely dorky, but i really enjoy it.

and it's free!  check it out!

ok back to candy and netflixing bob's burgers...

happy valentine's day !!

so today was officially the best valentine's day i've ever had.

but don't read too far into that, valentine's day isn't a big deal.

i was totally shocked at work when a delivery man stopped by with a lovely bouquet of red and white flowers for me from steve.  it absolutely made my whole day and i kept catching myself with a big grin on my face.

then we got dinner at one of my favorite restaurants and chowed hard on curry.  i LOVE indian food.  

i power walked downtown on my lunch break and picked us out some valentine's day cupcakes.  2 red velvet, 2 german chocolate, and 2 girl scout samoa cupcakes.  so we can basically run on simple sugar forever now.

if you recognize any of the photos in the collage i made for steve... you've probably been to charleston, SC!  i found us an incredible deal on a hotel in charleston and decided to give steve a valentine surprise.  we are headed down south for his spring break!

it may not be jamaica but 66 degree whether sure sounds better than what we've had here.

hope everyone had a simply lovely valentine's day. and if you didn't, that's ok there's always next year.  it's just the 14th of february after all.

i made us a blog

a boy and a girl from kalamazoo.

they grew up precisely 1.3 miles apart, but didn't meet until 18 years later, about 100 miles from home.

a little more than three years later she started a blog.

and now you're looking at it.

here's to a big new year.
