HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!  I love Valentine's Day...always have, and hopefully always will :)  I mean it's pink all over with hearts...does it get any girlier than that? Yes I just made "girlier" a word...

Since I have the most awesome work schedule this month....NOT...we are not doing a whole lot today.  But we had a wonderful weekend!  It consisted of wine, shopping, and being arsty-fartsy!

I love my wine glasses!  Mr. Mac got them for me as a birthday present a couple of years ago.  There are 4 different patterns, and I am so type-A that I try to make sure I give each pattern equal love :)

This is one of the hallways in our house, and I have been looking for stuff to put on it....well we went shopping this weekend and I found the cutest stuff!  The sign was a wedding gift and it has always been one of my favs :)

This was my present to Mr. Mac for v-day...I saw it on Pinterest and thought it was a great idea.  I sometimes forget to tell him why I love him, whether the big or the little things it is always nice to hear it...or read it!  I found the print off from this blog...then I framed it, and bought cute dry erase markers, and viola happy valentine's day babe!

I found these pretties at Gordmans...and they are perfect!  I needed something with come color but that could be neutral also.

And we also have a new family member....meet Jambo
Mr. Mac is seriously in love with this guy...it is hilarious!  He really wanted to buy this HUGE gray elephant statue, and I had to put the kabosh on that so this was the compromise!  

I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day full of love and smooches :)

Love Bug...

Today I am linkin' it up with From Mrs. to Mama to do a pre-Valentine's post that I saw on Blue-Eyed Bride   So here is our love bug story via  survey :)




1. How long have you and your significant other been together?
Mr.Mac and I have been together for 3.5 years, but we have known each other for about 5 years...

2. How did you meet? {What's your "love" story?}
We met at work...and if you would have told me when we met that I would end up marrying this guy I would have told you you were CRAZY!!!  I was a receptionist and he was a consultant....and we had nothing in common!!  Fast forward a couple of years and one awesome sweater vest and an up-down later and we were all about each other!  



3. If married, how long have you been married? If not, is this the guy you hope to marry? {do tell}
Ya I'm hopin he will put a ring on it!!!  HAHA j/k he did! And we have been married for a year and a half
Newly engaged bliss :)



4. If you are married, where did you get married at? Big or small wedding?  
We got married at a beautiful local wedding venue, that housed both the ceremony and reception.  Go big or go home---300 peeps attended!!!
5. Do you have any nick-names that you call one another? Do share!
Boo, babe...ya know the norm..
6. Name 3 things you love most about your honey.
I love his ambition and drive...Mr.Mac works so hard to provide for our family and I could not ask for more!
I love his square personality and how it so perfectly compliments my not-so-square personality :)
I love and admire his love for God, and the importance that it always plays in our lives
7. Tell us how he proposed?
He proposed one random Wednesday night.  He got the same dinner we had on our first date...which I ate thinking he was just being romanitcal!  He then surprised me with my fav ice cream from Cold Stone and when he brought it to me it had my ring sitting on top if it!  My first works "CLEAN IT OFF CLEAN IT OFF!!!"  His second question "Is that a yes?"

This was only 3 days after he surprised me with a new puppy!!!!!



8. Is he a flowers and teddy bear kind of guy for v-day, or strawberries, champagne, and rose petals?
He is a flowers at work fun dinner kind of guy 
9. Are you a sunset dinner on the beach kind of girl, or pop a movie in and relax on the couch?
It depends....I am always game for a movie date...they are some of my favorites.  But  I love going out to dinner for any occasion and anywhere, much less throw me on a beach and I would be perfectly content :)
10. Tell us one thing you'd like to do with your significant one day. If you could do anything? Go anywhere?
I would love to go travel through Europe.  My BFF lives in Switzerland so we would have to go there, and definitely Italy, Greece, etc.  One day it's going to happen!
11. Tell us what you plan on doing on this Valentine's Day.
Wellll we have no plans...is that bad?  I really want to see The Vow so hopefully that and dinner?  Mr. Mac was talking about getting a V-day package at a local Italian deli place that comes with steak and lobster and a bottle of wine...which sounds nice...but all I can think of is the clean up after...now that is for sure bad!

12. Are you asking for anything this Valentine's day?
Nope...not asking or expecting anything...but that leaves a lot of room for a good surprise *hint hint*
13. Give us one piece of advice of keeping a relationship strong and full of love.
Always make quality alone time for yourselves. Not watching TV together after work, but dinner with no TV on or help each other make dinner and just talk.  We try to do a couple daily devotion that keeps us centered with God and keeps us praying for each other and our marriage.
14.  Show us a picture of what love means to you.
My boo and my moo :)  For now this is all I need...any and every day :)
