Valentines & Awesome 25% Off Deal

Hello Lovely Blog Readers,

I have a few things to catch up on. As much as I am loving this spring weather, it knocked me out last week with a horrible sinus infection, so I am just now getting back to the blog. Will and I had a wonderful Valentine's celebration. We went to Riverbanks Zoo on Saturday night. If you know Will, you know he is obsessed with all things zoo related. I saw that they had a Valentine's package there and jumped on it.

We got to the zoo at 6:00 and it was only other couples. Everyone got a cocktail and a few employees were walking around with small animals that you could hear about and pet. Then we were split up into small groups where we toured the zoo and learned all about the different mating rituals of animals. The koala bears were the best because they are nocturnal, so I had never seen them out before.

It is hard to see in the picture, but there is a baby koala bear with the mom. He was so cute.

There were games to play along the way. One game was after we learned about the frogs. The tour guide choose about 5 couples (we were chosen) and we had to come up with a frog call that our significant other would recognize. Then we were all blindfolded and had to find each other with our frog calls. It was pretty hilarious. I know all this might sound dorky, but it really was so much fun and great to do something different than just a normal date.

After the tour we had a beautiful dinner. Overall, it was a blast, and I would definitely recommend it.

On another note, it is time for a really amazing Mary Kay 25% off. For the next two weeks I am offering 25% off all Mary Kay compacts and any items to go in them. If you know about our compacts, you know what an amazing deal this is and are probably as excited as I am.

Our compacts come in two sizes...

Mary Kay Compact
Only $13.50! ($14.76 w/ tax)

Mary Kay Compact Pro

These compacts are phenomenal. They have magnets in them that hold your makeup, eyeshadows, blushes, or bronzers in place, but when you want to trade them out it is as simple as the push of a button. They also hold your lipgloss or lipstick. People love to have the small compact to keep in their purse, while having the big one at home. These compacts are very durable, but if yours ever does drop and something in it, or the compact itself, cracks I will replace it all at no charge! Also, visit my website to see all the shades of everything that you can put in your compact since it is 25% off as well! This makes it pretty much a sale on almost all MK cosmetics!!!

Summerville, Here We Come!

Since Will found out that he was going to be staying in St. Matthews for work we knew that we wanted to at least consider moving for the last year or so that we would be down here for me to finish school. We love our apartment, but we also knew that we would love a little more space and LOVE a fenced in backyard for Grady.

We wanted to look for a place to rent in Summerville since it would put Will two more exits closer to work and we do pretty much everything up there anyway. Well, we were pretty discouraged at first. Everything in Summerville that was close to the interstate was way out of our budget and we didn't think we would be able to move. Then we found a townhouse for rent just about two miles off the interstate but since it was on the other side of the interstate from all the shopping it was in our price range.

It is a fairly new townhouse with two bedrooms and 2 and 1/2 baths. Both bedrooms and full baths are upstairs and are both set up as potential master bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and walk-in closets. Then, downstairs there is a garage (yeah!), kitchen, eat-in area, and den. There is also a little screened porch and pretty nice sized backyard (best part)! It is an end unit, which is nice especially since the fence comes off to the side so there is a bigger yard.

We move in March 1st and we are getting so excited! Here are a few pictures...

This is our unit. I forgot to take a picture of the outside, but I got this one from the posting ad. It must be from when it was first built because now the fence comes out to the side.

This is when you walk in the front door once you get through the entryway which has a coat closet. In this picture the door to the left is the 1/2 bath, the door to the right is the garage, the eat-in cove is further up to the left with the kitchen across from that and then you get to the den.

This is the kitchen. It has an awesome pantry and a great work triangle. Alyssa and I love to talk about our work triangles like we are fabulous chefs, ha!

This is a picture from the back of the den.

We are looking forward to having you all over and can't wait to get in our new townhouse!

Day 10 of Valentines

So Will is always doing romantic things for me, and I always feel like I am just not as creative in this field. Well, this year I decided to try and really make him feel special and am doing 14 days of Valentines with a little gift each day. They have ranged anywhere from heart shaped cupcakes to a new book.

Side Note: Will is the absolute, 180 degree, opposite of me in one specific way: he is uncomfortable/awkward when receiving gifts. (Obviously, I do not have such a problem in that my Love Language is "Receiving Gifts" ha!) He has admitted that he wants to work on this because it is hard for him to enjoy something someone gives him, and I may be pushing him into working on this just because I love to give him things!

I think Will has enjoyed feeling special and seeing how much I love him each day when he finds something around the house- so I hope he has enjoyed this Valentine's fun, because I have had a blast coming up with things. Last night for Day 10 we ended up going to see a play downtown at Footlight Players. I have to admit that this was only possible because the tickets were on Groupon one day, so a great deal!

Sorry, I didn't take any pictures, but this is a picture of the Theater.

We turned it into a full date night and went to one of our favorite downtown restaurants, Sushi Hiro, which has great sushi for cheap! Then we headed to the theater and it was a beautiful community theater. The play was one of our favorites, "A Raisin in the Sun," and did not disappoint! It was such a wonderful performance (my eyes were even glistening at one point-which is quite the feat for those actors!) Overall it was a wonderful date, and we cannot wait to go back to this theater.
