I know, I know it's not February anymore. But I miss blogging on a daily basis so much, writing about all our little adventures everyday, and talking to you lovely blogging ladies everyday I suppose the least I can do now is blog about the month right?!
I started February with the idea of doing the photo a day challenge again on instagram. I started out good then I got lazy and didn't finish it. Here's what I got for the month.
We started the month by attending our ward's temple night. We are trying to make it a regular thing and go in the beginning of every month. It sure is wonderful when we can make it happen.
I went on a fun girls night with a few friends. We had yummy zupas (my favorite), went shopping and watched The Vow. Channing didn't disappoint, I loved the movie.
We are those type of people that love valentine's day. So for it we celebrated early on the saturday before, we beat the crowds and tried The Roof in downtown Salt lake city. We had never been before. It was defiantly a wonderful first time experience. My favorites: The dessert bar, live piano music and of course the view. Such a fun night to remember.
The month of february i finally decided to start using my sewing machine more often. I made new pillows for the living room and my first ever dress refashion. It didn't go too bad, except that I accidentally cut it too short. Don't ask how that happened haha But I'm planning on making those easy peezy stretchy waist skirts with the left overs. We'll see how that goes.
On the actual day of Valentine's day we had to work so we just caught a late night movie to watch This Means War. It was HILARIOUS. We loved it.
And my husband remembered I loved this neon bag from target from one of our many visits and gifted it to me for vday. So sweet of him along with all the other lovey dovey v-day stuff that you don't want to hear about.
Thanks to our local groupon where they sell gift cards for 50% off we always try new places around town. This time we tried subzero. A cute little ice cream shop where they make the ice cream right in front of you with nitrogen. Pretty cool stuff. They turn it from liquid to ice in seconds. You could say I was like a little kid in a candy store, full of excitement. haha This same night we caught a dollar movie. The Bounty Hunter. Not the best movie but eh it was a dollar so whatever. And yes you could say we like going out to eat then to movies. It's what the winter does to us around here. Makes us fat and lazy!! Thank goodness spring is around the corner. I think we're about done hibernating :)
On february 24th we celebrated 5 years that we've been together as a couple. No not married. That anniversary is in August almost 3 years, so crazy how time flies by. My sweet sweet husband surprised me with pretty tulips. I know most couples don't celebrate how long they've been together but we always liked remembering when we started dating and kept that date in mind as years passed by.
One of my favorite dates are Ikea Dates. This time around I was very proud of the money i took with me in there to shop around. Here's the story, I was sick of my living room furniture so I put everything up for sale on our local KSL classified ads. And guess what? I sold everything for pretty dang good prices. Yes it was a pain in the butt dealing with cheapos that wanted to pay nothing for my good stuff, but in the end it was worth it because I got brand new updated living room furniture. I love change :)
And last but not least I just wanted to post this picture so I don't forget about it. This guy... the things he does... I just love him. We bought a new shelving unit and I wanted baskets to store all our clutter, i mentioned to him we should make some wood crates with the free pallets we got. I get home from work one of these days and find him making them. He is just too sweet and treats me too good.
Our life isn't perfect and yes these are just the good moments. Of course there are bad moments as well but i am learning that life is 90% good and only 10% bad and I choose to live for that 90% and move on and learn from that 10%. So far this theory has been going good, and that makes me extremely happy.
Have a happy day everyone!
Hugs and thanks always for all your kind words.
