Romance 101

Get ready to take notes. Brent and I just mastered V-Day. 

Check out these pictures of our evening:

My sweet hubbie started out by sending me flowers at work. Unfortunately, the flowers came to me via mail and looked pretty shabby. Someone didn't care for them as required. After comparing what I received with what Brent ordered, we decided that a refund was in order. What do you think? See any differences here?

  

Kind of a joke, huh? Not very impressive when your husband spent quite a bit of money on them, but once you get your money refunded they are quite pretty, don't you think? I'll be picking up some tulips at Kroger to spruce up the bouquet for the rest of the week. :)

First came the flowers, then came the refund. Next came a new chair! Yes, indeed! My sweet hubbie stepped it up again. He bought me the World Market chair that I spotted this weekend that will be perfect for our guest bedroom. It's going to be A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. 

After doing a happy dance for my new chair, Brent and I had my favorite meal...BRATS! What's more romantic than brats? I have no idea. After our fancy dinner we watched "How I Met Your Mother" (such a great show) and then ran up to Home Depot to check out some possible paint colors for the house. Yes, I said Home Depot on Valentines. 

Finally, we enjoyed a couple cupcakes while Brent did some master photo editing and I blogged it up. Pretty sweet Valentines, huh? I thought you'd be impressed.

Until next time...

Our First Purchase for Our First Home

We have officially purchased our first piece of furniture for our new home. Yay! I'm pretty pumped about it and I was able to convince the hubbie that we should purchase it now rather than waiting until we move in. (What girl wants to wait to purchase home decor? Not this one.)

Wondering how I managed that? Well it was on sale at World Market, I had a coupon and we had a $50 gift card from some wonderful God-Parents to use. (Yes!) And much more importantly, it relates to what my man really cares about...the T.V. and the Xbox. (Both of which is he using as we speak.) These are two every important items in his world so he was easily convinced that it was necessary to get are media cabinet ASAP.

Here she is for your viewing pleasure.

Sadly, she's still in her box and is now ruining the look of my dining room, but she'll be the perfect fit for our new living room. I just have to figure out a way to hide her when all my small group ladies arrive in the morning. (That's probably my best tip for keeping your house looking good for guests...close some doors and hide some crap. Works like a charm.)

I'll keep you updated on all the purchases to come.

Until next time...
