Roses are red, Violets are blue, I loved my Valentines day...How about you?

Ahhh......Valentines.....oh, how I loved it! Our Valentines day wasn't just a day....it was two! On Friday the 13th (Ewww....Ahhhh! Scary!) I came home from work and saw roses on the table for me. Ryan decided to give them to me early so I would be surprised.....it worked, I wasn't expecting them on Friday. What a great husband I have, I love him so much! Also, later that night, Ryan took me to see "Confessions of a Shopaholic". I was so excited, ever since I first saw the preview....I couldn't wait to to see it! It was so up my alley....I love to shop, love Isla Fisher, and at one point in my life....I think some people might have thought I was a shopaholic. So what if....I might have maxed out 3 different credit cards, worked at a clothing store (the mall was my second home) and basically spent my whole pay check on gorgeous clothes and shoes. I would lay awake at night and daydream about all my new found outfits and all the accessories that they would go with! I still think you can never, ever have enough shoes.....or purses......or dangly pretty earrings....or bracelets.....or anything pink, sparkly with just a tad of lace or ruffle! I dare say I was a little obsessed....but a shopaholic.....Nah! ;0)

It was a way cute show....very entertaining and I always love anything to do with fashion! It wasn't as good as "The devils wears Parda"....that show....is absolutely one of the best shows in the world....and is on the top of my most favorite movies of all time! But it was quiet funny....and a lot of her experiences related to me. Ryan hated it, he said for a chick flick, it was one of the girliest ones he has ever seen! He really, truly does love me, I know....if I asked him too, he would suffer through it again. All the clothes were so fun and bright! Some of the clothes were a little extreme for me....but fitting for this show!

For the 14th, I decided to make Ryan dinner. Normal wives do this every night....but me, I am not that great of a cook and it scares me....it seems like I always ruin the food. The simplest of meals....I burn or add to much or too little of some ingredient. I know I need more practice, and I want to be a good cook one day.....so my babies will say "my mom's cooking is the best" like what I say about my mom. I can make some meals....like spaghetti....and tomato soup and grilled cheese! I am a pro at mac and cheese, that got me through college! But, surprisingly...my Valentine meal turned out great....and tasted good too! It gave me a bit more courage to cook. I also decorated the table with some of the roses Ryan gave me.

Ryan also came home with another little surprise, which was a Campbell's recepie box, full of all kinds of easy recepies. Ryan is so patient and so helpful in teaching me how to cook.... and I do WANT to learn to cook, so I was really happy! I am actually really excited to cook some of the meals, they look really good! And I guess in order to be good, you have to practice.

It was such a wonderful couple of days....one of my favorite Valentines ever! I love my Ryan so much and am so blessed to have him in my life. He is my best friend and I know he was meant for me. Love him, love him, love him!

6 Quirks.....

The Rules:

*Mention the rules on your blog.

*Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.

*Tag 6 fellow bloggers

1. I am very particular about many things, I like to have things a certain way or it drives me crazy. One of my most weirdest quirks is the way I eat things. Foods like hamburgers, sandwiches, Reese pieces..... basically anything with a middle.... I always, always eat the outside first then save the middle for last. I have done this since I was little and can't stop now! And certain candy, like Starburts, m&m's, runts, Sweetarts.....candy that has flavors, I eat it in a certain order, from my least favorite to my most favorite. It usually always goes the yellow, orange, blue, green, and then red ones last. Red candy is always my favorite. As like with the hamburger's and sandwiches....the middle part is always my favorite, so I save it for last.

2. I love shopping! I can shop all day and not get tired or stop for food! Who needs food when there is lots of pretty clothes and shoes to try one! The only person that can stand to shop with me is my sister, everyone else can't handle it. I have a certain order I shop in. I always have a budget, and everything I want never falls in the budget, so before I buy anything, I go to a store and try on the cute stuff and put it on hold. I go to all the stores I plan on going to and do this. Then when I am all done looking, I go and find a bench or my car, depends where I am at, and go through all the items in my mind and pick which ones I want most and which ones fit my budget. Then I go back and buy the ones I have chosen. Can you see why no one else will go with me besides my sister!

3. I HATE, HATE, HATE .......... saggy, dirty socks! If your socks fall below the ankle or are saggy at the toes.....that absolutely drives me crazy! I can't stand it! My socks are always pulled up high and tight! I can't even stand the sight of saggy socks on others, it makes me cringe! My brother and some of my friends tease me, and wear their saggy socks around me, and I usually run away from them with disgust! I hate it!

4. Vacuum lines are the best! When I vacuum, I go backwards, so I don't walk over my vacuum lines. If I accidentally walk over them, I will go over that spot again and make new vacuum lines! I know that in about a couple of minutes, Ryan or myself will eventually have to walk on my lines, but at least I get to enjoy them for the the few precious seconds.

5. I color coordinate all my clothes. Each color goes from dark to light, like.... the dark pinks to the light pinks, each shade of pink goes together. I also put each type of shirts together, like collar button shirts, polo shirts, tee-shirts, and so on, will all go together in their colored section. I like to be organized. :)

6. I am a fashion major, so I am pretty picky about my clothes. Since I was little, I have been taught to never put black with brown, like black shoes with a brown belt. I know, many people do this, and some actually do pull it off.....sometimes. But to this day, I can't bring myself to doing it. And.... I also am not a fan of when people wear fancy boots/shoes with a big, old comfy hoodie and baggy jeans! Fancy shoes with comfy lazy clothes...they don't match! I have seen it when people were a fancy pair of shoes with fitted jeans, and a tighter hoodie.....they dress it up some and that's okay...at least with me, just not old baggie comfy clothes! Okay since I am on a roll, one more....I hate when people go to the gym and wear high heels and big dangley or hoop earrings! The gym is for working out, not picking up boys!

Now I tag: Katie, Jamie, Bridgette, Mckell, Ashlee, Savanna, Keely and whoever wants to!

I love, love, LOVE Christmas time!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Christmas time is always so busy for us, that I haven't had any time to post anything....and so now I have waited so long, that this post will kinda be a long one. It's basically the whole month of December. My brother come home from California for the Christmas holiday, and we have been spending every spare second we have with him. I am super close to him and am so happy to have him home again. Our Christmas was a very busy day, running from house to house to house....to see all our families. It was a good day, always is.

I have been so busy getting ready for the Holiday Season, that I feel like I don't have enough time to do everything! I have been meaning to post about our Thanksgiving sooner than now! Our Thanksgiving was great, we got two dinners! We had our first dinner with Ryan's side of the family around noon, then we had one with my side of the family around 5 o'clock that night! By the time we were done with our dinners....we were so stuffed! I felt so sick! But that's Thanksgiving for ya...I always eat more than I can handle!

Twilight Tag!

Who Introduced you to the Books? My good friend Jamie Griffin !!
What Character would you most compare yourself to? Well...I would like to say Bella....I am about just as clumsy as she is! But I can't say I am just like her...I love being girlie! I love to get dressed up and name brands! I am alot like Alice in that way. But I have taken lots of quizzes to see what character I am most like, one said I was like Edward- I am very stubborn like him, another I time I got Esme, cause I care deeply for my loved ones.
What Character would others say you are? Jamie says I am like Esme, Katie says Alice (yay! I love Alice! If I could choose who I wanted to be most like...it would be her!)
Team Edward or Team Jacob? Oh I just love Edward, he is the one for Bella! But I love Jacob too! Its too hard to pick between them...but if I must....I love Edward most.



Fav. Car mentioned in the book? Aston Martin! It's in the fourth book!



How many times have you read Twilight? I have read the first book 1 and 1/2 times and all the others only once.
If you could have one of the powers the Cullens have what would it be and why? Alice's...I totally want to know the future!!
What is your Fav. part in Twilight? Of course I loved the part when they fist kissed! And I loved the end of new moon, the part in Italy....when Bella had to go stop Edward walking in the sun. I read that part like 5 times over and over! ahhh! Love it!
Fav Quotes from Twilight?
“I don’t care who’s a vampire and who’s a werewolf. If Angela turns out to be a witch, she can join the party, too.”

Alice: "I’ll play you for it. Rock, Paper, Scissors." Edward:"Why don’t you just tell me who wins?"Alice:"I do. Excellent."

"I bit a pillow.... maybe two."

Bella: "We’ll live in Antarctica."
Edward: "Penguins. Lovely."

Fav Cullen Sibling? Alice! I just love Alica!
Phoenix or Forks? Forks....it sounds so pretty down there!
If you were Bella and you can't have Edward what other male from the book would you pick and why? Jacob! I love Jacob too! Oh...but Jasper, he is so cool!

Would you rather be a Vampire or Werewolf? VAMPIRE ALL THE WAY!
If you had pick one song that would be perfect for Bella and Edward what would it be? "When the stars go Blue" -Tyler Hilton and Bethany Joy Lenz. When I first started to read the Twilight, I listened to this song over and over again....So every time I hear it, I think of Twilight...and the words to me seem very fitting for Edward and Bella.
