Belated Day 10 :)

I was really tired last night (from getting back from Huntington at about 8:30pm after leaving to be there at 7am) so I neglected to do my blog post for yesterday, but don't worry - here it is! I actually was thinking about what I was going to post about on my way home, and when I got home and looked at my computer my mom had already done exactly what I was gonna do! I think I turn into her more and more every day... (you're welcome, mom :)!  Anyway, here is a picture of all of my Valentine's Day cards that I have kept, which means these are probably only 5 years old or less (it wasn't a priority for me to keep them as a kid - I'd rather have had toys haha) I'm really glad that I kept them now too, because a couple of them are still from "Granny and Grandad" before Grandad passed away - those are my favorites :) I'm so lucky that I have so many people that love me, and therefore are the reason I get these cards!

Also, because today is my "day off", I decided I would make some Valentine's treat bags for my classmates :) We are all best friends because we do EVERYTHING together since nursing school takes over our lives, and I love them all and hope they know it! Who says giving Valentine's at school is just for little kids :p

And lastly, just my favorite picture to brighten your day......

(In case you were wondering, this is Tyler as the cutest little BOY ever! :)

Happy Weekend!

Day 9

This is gonna be a majorly short post - I'm exhausted and 5:30 comes early! Still have a bunch of homework to do...

For those of you who don't know, I worked at Burger King throughout high school - and to this day I have no idea where all that money I made went! Anyway, one day after work I found this slid through my cracked car window...

I just love the heart made out of a straw wrapper - talk about ingenuity!

Day 8

I have very little to blog about today - it was just an average day at our house....school, eat, nap, homework, eat, tv, homework...haha you get the picture!

Here is a picture of a drum head that Tyler 'autographed' for me...my favorite part is that he spelled "awsome" wrong - one of the many reasons I love him! He's a horrible speller, not to mention writes like a kindergartner! So cute!

One week left! And our (little) super bowl party!

Last night, we just had an impromptu party for the Super Bowl - we are by no means a sports-loving couple, but we just love the excitement :) It was just me and Tyler and his friend Jimmy (who is also Talia's boyfriend) and we had a good time! Here are the few pictures I took:

 Our little spread

 And Baby G....she loves visitors.  And I love when she wears bows! :)

And my Charmin' <3

My Valentine's Countdown for today includes these flowers that Tyler got for me when I was still 'deciding' if I wanted to be his girlfriend or not.  Actually, I think I had already made up my mind, but teenage girls love having guys pour out their hearts for them, and I was no different!  :)

 I framed one of them and had it in my bedroom at my mom and dad's house, and there's a picture of them the day I got them - that is the only time I have EVER gotten roses (I've gotten other flowers, just not roses)

And the card that came with them that says, "I'm completely cool with being friends as long as I can do things like this!" ....SO sweet! I know he was hoping these flowers would make me want to be more than 'just friends' though....he won!

Day 6

Not much to say about today - having a little Super Bowl party right now, but since I don't know the rules of football (or care for that matter, even after watching EVERY high school ball game)....here I am on the internet! I'll post pics of our party tomorrow, but for now here are a couple pics of some of my favorite......pieces of PAPER :)

 This is a note that Tyler gave to me in 10th grade at school...ah, the 'note' days... one of my favorite excerpts: "I've never dreamed I could find a girl that fits the personality characteristics of my "perfect girl" as you do. (Didn't want to put the w(ife) in there, cause that's a little too mushy)"....again, little did he know I actually would turn out to be his wife!

And then this note that he left underneath my pillow before he went to a church camp in the summer....that's probably the only time he's ever really 'surprised' me, because now I'm too nosy to wait for his surprises :)

Day 5!

Tyler has been on a ski trip (of which I am VERY jealous I couldn't go!) so last night it was just me and Gidgey...she's still a little under the weather, but even though I feel sorry for her, I have to admit - I love that all she wants to do is snuggle up to my side all the time instead of snuggling her teeth into my skin!  It's been a long day - up at 5, Huntington at 8, and back home by 2....then I went to Kroger and Walmart. Since Tyler is gone and my family was out of town today, I had to put Gidget in her crate for the 8 hours that I was gone...I hate doing that :(....but today I don't think it was too horrible an experience for her because I think she kept herself busy - that is, because she completely chewed up her bed and pulled out all the stuffing! I want to be mad but she's so cute I just have to laugh :)

This isn't what it looked like when I got home - it was actually ALL OVER the place, I just had to pick it up to get it in a picture :p

Now, onto my Valentine's Day countdown -

I have so many memories from this CD - my mom bought a few for different people when Tyler's high school band recorded it, I listened to it ALL the time when Tyler was away, I went to countless concerts where they were playing, etc.  Again, we weren't dating at this time, but if you know Tyler you know that he'll say whatever pops into his head when he's trying to be funny :) This is no exception - he asked if I wanted it 'autographed' since he was gonna be famous one day, and he gave it back to me with the message "I love you baby, Ty". Haha! Well, little did I know that one day I'd be telling him I love him too!

Day 4

Today was a wonderful, relaxing day.  Tyler left this morning on a ski trip until tomorrow night, so it's just me and G snugglin' tonight!  I went and visited my granny this morning, and then had plans to go to the grocery store, but instead I took a 3-hour nap :) It was a good decision.  Then, I went to Fat Albert's for dinner with mom and dad, and then back home in this seat where I've been doing homework since I sat down (I'm taking a break....) I can't wait to go to bed early too so I'll be well-rested for tomorrow - it's sad that my most exciting hobby is sleeping, but I just love it so much!

Anyway, here is today's little memento:

 There are just some things you KNOW you'll never wear again, but can't stand to throw out :)....and just for a little laugh/trip down memory lane....

Yikes! One of the many style mistakes of my teenage years, but in my defense this was taken on a hot day at Disney World...

...And my little drummer boy! Wow things have changed!  I think he's handsome no matter what style he chooses for the day :)

Happy Weekend!
