Photo of the Day - Days 43-49

Day 43:

We were doing a little grocery shopping a few days before Valentine's Day, and those romantic fellas behind the butcher counter had shaped all the burgers like hearts! It's the little things.

Day 44:

So this year I decided to have a Lady Tea Party for my birthday - what better way to ring in the final year of my 20's right? As I was only inviting 8 lovely ladies I figured I could go a little nuts on the invites. I'll do a more detailed breakdown in another post soon, for now - here are most of the invitation ingredients. 

Day 45:

When Tom and I first started dating (and through the first few years of our marriage), my work hours were pretty intense during the first few months of every year. A pizza on the couch next to him was the most romantic thing I could imagine amidst 12-15 hour days staring at spreadsheets - and so our tradition was born. This was our 7th annual Valentine's pizza (shaped like a heart, natch).

Day 46:

Tom and I took a long weekend to go visit his grandparents while they vacation at the beach but before we left my sister texted to see if I wanted to join her at the new Jo-Ann's grand opening. They were giving away gift cards to the first 100 people - a guaranteed $10 and a chance to win up to $250. As much money as I hand over to craft stores, I figured a free $10 was worth getting out of bed a little early on my day off. Also - shopping with that little fella? Always worth it. As luck would have it, I won a $250 gift card!!! When does that happen? Needless to say - that was one of the best mornings I've had in a while.

Day 47:

My man and my pugs, hanging out on the grass in some shade while we were visiting his grandparents at the beach. 

Day 48: 

Another one of those "whoops, this is the only pic I took today..." On our way home, Tom noticed that you could see all of downtown as well as that really huge car dealership Texas flag. Clearly, I wasn't quick enough on the draw to catch that actual view...

Day 49:

Here are all those Lady Tea invitations all together. Oh pink and gold, is there a more girly color palette out there?
