Cheers to Six Years

Six years ago at about... 

well this moment...

Stephan and I pulled up to the movie theater for our first date. 

What did we see?

I remember every thing about that night. 

I was staying at my grandmothers that night, to be closer to the theater we were going to. I remember I called my cousin, in California, to tell her that I was going to the movie with Stephan. I was basically asking her what I should wear and if she thought he thought this was a date or not. See, the funny thing is I did not think I was going on a date. Stephan was my best friend but not someone I thought I could date. I remember I wore a white scoop neck shirt with cherry's on it and I made a head band out of red ribbon, so it would match the cherry's. Cute huh?! I remember the look Stephan gave me when I pulled out my wallet to pay for my ticket. It is a day I will always remember as if it were yesterday. 

Turns out that night was a "date" and it led to many more. I am so thankful to have so many amazing memories of our dating years. We were very young and crazy and I will cherish the memories we made forever!

I am so glad that those 4 1/2 years of dating turned into this life we have now. 

Please enjoy some of my memories through pictures:

Steel City Pops

All our friends have been raving about this new little shop in town, called Steel City Pops.

What do they sell?.....

Popsicles!

How fun is that?

They have the most unusual amazing flavors like:

Jalapeno Pineapple

Blood Orange

Strawberry Balsamic

Sweet Tea

and

Avocado

just to name a few. 

Today, Stephan decided we would check it out. He told me I was a nerd for standing out front while taking this picture.

 I told him to shut up it was for my blog! They have such a cute little space in Homewood. I was in love the second I saw the store front.

When got there we could barley get in the door. I'd say they are doing pretty well for a new business!

The inside is pretty simple, but I really love the mural of Vulcan holding a pop.

It was so hard to pick a flavor, but I ended up going with the strawberry balsamic and Stephan picked raspberry lemon.

We took ours to go because there was no room to sit, barely room to stand.

The second I unwrapped mine the smell of balsamic was so strong that I got a little scared. However, I was sold after the first bite. The flavor combination is perfect! I love that they use all natural ingredients and some organic ingredients as well. They also try to buy local grown ingredients as much as possible.

Stephan enjoyed his too!

I love little businesses like Steel City Pops. I am thankful Birmingham is expanding its culinary wings. 

Stephan and I will be frequent visitors of Steel City! We have already talked about a trip back next weekend. I will probably try honeydew or maybe cantaloupe. 

If you're ever in the Birmingham area make Steel City Pops part of your to do list!
