Happy Birthday Hubs

Monday was the hubs 26th birthday.

He says it's just one more year closer to 30, that he's just getting old. I think he's silly. 26 is young and so is 30. I am just thankful for another year we get to spend together!

While I was antique shopping in the mountains I found this store, that reminded me of a place you'd see on American Pickers. I was about to walk out the door after buying two mason jars when I saw this Avengers poster. The guy told me its from 1970. I didn't really care how old it was, I just knew Stephan would like it so I bought it for $30 and brought it home.

One of Stephan's only requests for this birthday was for us to make cookie cake. When we were dating we used to make and decorate a cookie cake, probably monthly. Back then we would buy a tub of cookie dough, put it in a round pan, add food coloring to store bought icing, and decorate our cake. Now that we're a little more skilled in the kitchen, Steph wanted us to make one from scratch. 

This is how it turned out:

The decorating is a little rough.... but it was going on 9pm and we were really just ready to eat a piece.

He seems happy with it :)

This might be the first picture we've taken together since February. Don't judge...

He said he didn't smile for real because there was chocolate in his teeth. 

Last night the celebration continued...

We went to see The Dark Night Rises. 

Which if anyone hasn't seen it yet, you should. Amazing movie!

After the movie we went to my favorite sushi place (yes I know it's his birthday celebration but he let me pick dinner bc he loves me so much), Rock and Roll Sushi. It was wonderful as usual.

While we were there we took a picture to send to my cousin in California, who was texting me. He didn't want to take a picture, so this is how it turned out. Cute huh?

I hope he had a great birthday!

I love you hunny! :)

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:

Goals for the Week

WOAH It's early...

Today I'm linking up with Erika from teandbaby , who will be guest blogging for me Tuesday, for goals for the week

This week my goals are simple...

Finish the last minute cleaning I need to do around the house, before my brother comes to house sit. 

Pack our stuff for the beach. Yes it is the day of our trip and I haven't packed yet. This is extremely rare for me. I usually have a check list of what to pack and I haven't even made on this time. Here's to hoping I don't forget anything.

other goals include

Relaxation... No stress what so ever

Getting a tan

Finishing some more bracelet orders.

Having at least one date at the beach just me and the hubby.

and

Lots and Lots of family time!

I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!
