My {Funny} Valentine

My Valentine is really really funny!
"Then our mouth was filled with laughter,and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations,'The Lord has done great things for them.'” Psalm 126:2


He makes me laugh harder than anyone else on this earth. Life is so much more fun with him!

He is also very smart and wise!
"An intelligent heart acquires knowledge,and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge." Proverbs 18:15



He is creative.
"Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31

Click on the picture below to see what he did for me a couple years ago.


He is quite the handy man! He is always fixing something and finding ways to serve. :)
"Through love serve one another." Galatians 5:13



I love his heart.
"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." Psalm 51:10




He is faithful to me and the Lord.
"But who can find a faithful man?" Proverbs 20:6





He is so handsome!
"Behold, you are handsome, my beloved! Yes, pleasant!" Song of Solomon 1:16


He loves me and makes me the happiest girl in the world!



"I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me." Song of Solomon 7:10

Happy Valentine's Day David. I love you :)

Things I'm Loving Thursday

Happy Thursday friends! Today I'm LOVING:

1. my new blog design! I had fun finding a new Valentine's background! I'm not very good with all the design parts on the blog but thanks to shabbyblogs.com I'm happy wih this change!

2. Glee. I know, I'm a little behind on the Glee train. ALL of my friends love this show and I knew I would too! But I wanted to watch it from the beginning. Well, I gave up on that and caught a couple episodes last weekend and now I'm hooked!


It makes me want to walk around and break into song. Watch out. I just might do it.

3. my HUNTER boots! They have come in handy with all this rain/sleet/snow/slush we've had lately. I had originally got brown but I'm loving the matte black I just switched to.


4. Sarah's House on HGTV. Have you ever caught one of these episodes? I LOVE it. Sarah Richardson completely rennovates a house. This past season was a farmhouse redo. I recently caught the episode for the family bathroom and I'm obsessed.

I love the color scheme and just overall cozy feel. I love the curtains and the modern twist on the claw foot tub. Don't worry, she still put a shower in, you just can't see it in this picture. It's in the far back left.


I love the crown molding windows (there's probably an offical design term for this). It gives the walls character! I also know this from watching the show but inside the picture frames are blue stamps from a foreign country! I think that is such a neat idea!


I absolutely LOVE these vanities. They were two dressers from a flea market that they cut the top off to put a sink in. I want.



Click HERE to see the other rooms in the house. I pretty much just want to move in. It's a dream.

5. Lastly, I'm loving a fun filled weekend planned with my Valentine. Can't wait!

Recent Movies

David was away this past weekend for a buddy's bachelor party and thus I caught up on some fun {girlie} movies!

I watched the 3rd Twilight Saga: Eclipse



Then I decided I wanted to see New Moon again, so I watched it.



Then I thought well might as well finish the series, so I watched the 1st one: Twilight.



It was sort of fun watching them backwards!

Then I watched Letters to Juliet. LOVED this movie! It's basically all in Italy so I was easily entertained.



Today, we had another snow day! So I watched the movie The Young Victoria. I really enjoyed this movie! I always love a good movie from true historical events and I especially love movies about the previous Sovereigns of England.



David is very grateful I got all these "out of the way" and it kept me from feeling too lonely at the house! :)

Things I'm Loving Thursday

Happy Thursday everyone! For most of my Dallas friends, you are probably reading this from home as today is the 3rd snow day for most! I can't believe the ice storm we have been hit with! Schools have been closed for three days now and I just heard reports that we're getting snow tonight and tomorrow! NUTS!

Today I'm loving:

New Make Up! My make up stash is seriously embarrassing. Almost all of my stuff is either broken and falling apart or completely empty. I always try to keep my make up part luxe and part drug store. This keeps the cost of replacing things WAY down. Unfortunately though, all my luxe items are out at once this time ;( I mean I've been using red lipstick for blush! So today during lunch, I ventured out and bought some new make up. Has anyone heard of CARGO? I'm trying it out!I bought some face primer and "blue-ray" pressed powder.
I'll have to do a post on how it's working for me! It's supposed to be flawless but still natural. Sounds good right?

My Origins Ginger Souffle Whipped Body Cream. With all this cold weather, my hands are so dry! This stuff is the BEST!

Instant Netflix. David and I can stream Netflix through our Blue-Ray DVD player...so technical right? It's been a saving grace through these past few snow days! We love watching TV shows on here. Favorites include: LOST {all 6 seasons}, Lie To Me, Mad Men, 30 Rock, Dexter and Weeds.




Filing our Taxes is complete! Again, thanks to two snow days! Feels good to have it done so early and a nice refund on it's way! We use TurboTax, it made it so easy to file jointly for the first time!


I'm loving some new recipes we've discovered on Cooking Light.com.

We loved this Orecchiette with Kale, Bacon, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes Only 9 points for my WW PointsPlus friends.



And these delicious Fish Tacos with Cilantro Lime Crema. Again only 9 WWPP.


Tonight we're having these Greek Lamb Chops! Yummy! Only 5 WWPP.

Snow Day

Or should I say ice day? Whatever snow we did have in Dallas has officially turned to ice.



Texas weather is CRAZY. Just this weekend I was laying out in my patio soaking in the sun in tube top and shorts!! It is 20 degrees right now and is supposed to only get colder throughout the day.

Luckily, my office is closed today! I am enjoying a snow day at home with David. Plans include: movies, popcorn, chocolate cookies and maybe a little extra sleep! :)

Stay warm Dallas friends!

Things I'm Loving Thursday

Today I'm loving:

Barnes & Noble at a lunch break. I love sitting in the magazine section on a lunch break and catching up on gossip, fashion, home decor and travel spots. It's so much fun and the best part is it's free!


Dreaming of amazing travel. David and I are doing a lot of "dreaming" these days. Dreaming of a possible New Zealand trip


or maybe Mendoza, Argentina. Who knows? But it sure is fun to dream :)



Gossip Girl is back on TV. YESS! Guilty pleasure for sure.


Other TV things I'm loving: Stephen Tyler and J-Lo on American Idol


Emily Maynard on The Bachelor- she's a barbie doll with the sweetest personality!


What are you loving today?
