fourteen days of valentines day

I love love. I think Valentine's Day gives you a reason to be more creative with your love. I don't think Valentines Day should be about the  expensive gifts .  The best gifts are from the heart (cliche, but true!) Last year was my best Valentines Day.

Being in the restaurant business, its pretty much impossible to get off for Valentines day.. and why would you want to, you make bank. So usually the boyfriend and I celebrate a different day. Last Valentines Day I had a long day at work, pushing 16 hours of running around with a chicken with my head cut off. On my way home the boyfriend told me to go by the fire house to pick up some random paper from one of his buddies. Though I was suspicious, I went and there he was... parked in the parking lot waiting for me.

It was the best surprise ever. After such a long day, my heart melted when I saw him. He brought me flowers and a cute card. In the card he wrote some reasons why he loved me, which of course brought the water works. I will never forget it, ever.

Now, I'm going to dedicate the next 14 days to Valentines Day. Here is a preview.

thankful for thanksgiving

Sorry I've been gone for so long, but schools kicking my butt. But its almost over! I figured I would make a list of what I'm thankful for this year because I have soo much...

MY BOYFRIEND <3

He does so much for me, and just keeps my head on straight when the world gets a little crazy.

MY BESTEST FRIEND

We've been BFF's since 7th grade, and though we don't see each other a lot we have never gone a day with out talking <3

MY EDUCATION

School might cause so much stress, I know it's important to my future and I'm grateful because some people may never be able to go 

 FAMILY
I might have the best family ever and I don't know what I would do with out them. 

CAFFEINE
It's my drug. It's what gets me through the day, everyday.

SUNNY DAYS
Nothing puts me in a better mood then a beautiful day. 

RAINY DAYS
It give you an excuse to be a little extra lazy, and some days we need a forced lazy day.

 THE FIRST AMENDMENT 
Especially the freedom of the press, not only because of my future profession, but this amendment gives us all a right that not many have.

 

GOOGLE

Sad but true. Not just google, but all of technology. Makes my life so much easier.

and most importantly....BREAK.

Lace can be either really good, or really bad! I think if worn right, it can add elegance and class to an outfit. With this trend remember: LESS IS MORE

military

This isn't camo people. Military-inspired pieces have really stepped it up to the next level. These are chic ways to wear this trend. The red jacket is my favorite, its not the first thing you think of when you think of this trend.
