sweeeeetness

so i've come down with a bug. i think it's only allergies, but my dad had something similar earlier this week and his progressed into more of a cold. i'm really hoping that doesn't happen, since i'm hosting an engagement party tomorrow night and in general i pretty much loathe being sick in any way, shape, or form.

so last night, in an attempt to feel just a little better, i spent some quality time with the fabulous girls of sex and the city. first, the movie. then season 4. I LOVE IT. i did have a wonderful, relaxing bath in between, just so my laziness wouldn't fuse me to the bed. and the boyfriend was at school studying for yet ANOTHER assessment (only 2 more!! yay!). i saw yet another benefit of having a wonderful, caring, loving boyfriend. i needed some more allergy medicine and some sugar-free popsicles. he shows up with allergy medicine, popsicles, orange juice, kleenex, AND ghirardelli chocolate!! so sweet! i'm talking about the boyfriend, not the chocolate. well, the chocolate, too.

chocolate, warm baths, sex and the city, popsicles, and LOVE. life is complete.

perfect valentine's

we did it low key last night. our first choice for a restaurant was already booked up early in the week, so instead of searching for a place that would clearly be runner-up, we opted for a night in. it was quite a contrast to last year's valentine's- a romantic, candle-lit dinner at Paulette's... hands down one of the most romantic restaurants in memphis. and it was an absolutely perfect night and one i'll never forget. regardless of the differences between this year and last, they were equally as wonderful, enjoyable, and romantic. 

this year we decided to "keep it real", if you will. 

we picked up a bottle of wine

 went to target and got a movie

 and yummy chocolates

and then went to little caesar's for their $5 hot-n-ready pizza deal (which by the way is the best deal any company that has ever existed has ever invented- we LOVE it).  

it was one of the most perfect valentine's days EVER. we had a wonderful time together, talking laughing, snuggling. 

all of this proves that it doesn't matter where you go, what you do, of how much money you spend, valentine's day is made perfect by the person that you spend it with.

happy anniversary to us

the best 4 years of my life.
