Everyday's February the 14th

I know that Valentines day has come and gone and I am totally beating a dead horse
BUT 
The horse needs to be beaten!
And I am sorry to all the horse lovers I just offended.

I wanted to share some highlights with you Pretties :)
First...
On Valentines Eve I went on a LOVELY coffee date with this Pretty!
We both had the pleasure of interning together at Couture events, 
she's pretty awesome! 
And my obsession with fur rubbed off on her which only makes me love her 1 trillion times more :)
Now, she's a part of the Swann Squad! 
I'm proud!! 
We went to one of my favorites... 
The Living Room. 
Me and Pat used to go on study dates there when we were first dating.
Now we just study on our couch...
Pat in his boxers... me in my jammies...no make-up...hair in a mangie top knot.
Yeah... we were so much classier at one point.
I like us better now :)

For the much hyped up, overrated Holiday which Hallmark pimps out
Valentines Day
(I'm only harsh because I believe if you're in a good relationship then everyday should be Valentines! Men and women should step up their games more than once a year is all I'm saying! Don't be deadbeat dates!)
Ok I need to settle down! 
Anyway...
Me and the Hubs went to Searsucker.

We had been itching to try this place for months now and finally did!
I loved the decor! I tried to not make a scene of myself and limit the pics I took, but let's face it I was that girl!
The food was delish.
But I HAVE to go back because they had a preset menu for Valentines and all the desserts I wanted to try had the night off :( 
I guess they all had dates?
So a round two is called for!

Since Pat is way to good to me he upgraded my wedding rings center stone for early Valentines.
You can visit that post here
SO there was NO way I could ever get him a gift worthy enough...
(he wanted a gun, but... that's a whole other rodeo)
So I made him this totally cheesy but totally awesome gift from Pinterest!
(TGFP&P)
Thank God For Pinterest & Pat :)
And Pat... as if he hadn't already done enough gave me beautiful flowers and a sweet card.

Wow I am spoiled! 
I hope all of you had a lovely Valentines 
Lets all just keep spreading that love 
Make it rain X's and O's 
XOXO

The Valentines Tree





Hello Friends!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I am sorry for being MIA as of late, I would make up a good excuse as to why that is but frankly - I don't have one... So... shame on me! I guess when you have a blog with no followers you're not really letting anyone down when your MIA anyway haha, so who am I trying to kid!

Anyway... This past week my mother and I created the Valentines tree! The story behind the Valentines Tree goes as such: In September my Aunt Laura was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. She was told that she would most likely not see another Christmas. With that said she decided to put up her FIRST and probably LAST Christmas tree; she had bought a beautiful tree a few months back off QVC and it had remained in its box collecting dust waiting for its big debut! My dad helped her put the tree up and Laura and my other Aunt Carol adorned it with beautiful ornaments. Christmas came and passed and the tree still owned its window in the corner. Since we knew it would be her last Christmas tree my mom suggested we leave the tree up and transform it into a Valentines Tree! Laura was thrilled with the idea so my mom and I got to work! Creating paper ornaments for the tree! We are pretty proud of how are VTREE turned out and Laura LOVES it, which was the purpose of the VTREE so all is well! Take a look!

Don't take your health for granted, we are SO BLESSED!! xoxo
