Baseball & Dating

Auburn Tigers vs. Samford Bulldogs Baseball Game in Birmingham, Alabama

The weather has been beautiful this past week- I’ve just wanted to stay outside all day. The dogs love it (they whine at my feet until I take them out and toss the ball), and the yard sure could use my help. I’m looking forward to planting a garden again this year. Last year I just did a few herbs, but this year I’m thinking of adding some red & green bell peppers and maybe some green onions? I love them on pizza and in roasted vegetables. I hope spring is finally here to stay- and summer is just around the corner. This weekend the temperature is supposed to be 78*. Hooray!

Auburn Baseball

Last week was the 9 year anniversary of our first date. We often remember the date and remark on another year together, but this year everything just fell into place- and we had a unique opportunity to celebrate our day in a way that would be especially meaningful to us. If you’re been reading here long, you might remember the story of how Kevin & I got to know each other by going to Auburn baseball games in the spring of 2001. This year, it just so happened that Auburn was playing a Tuesday night game in a town just an hour and a half away- on the night after our anniversary. And my dad’s company had free tickets to the game. And they had a booth there with free hot dogs, hamburgers, and drinks.

Kevin asked me if I wanted to go… and I said “Definitely!!!
(I love it when he plans dates! :))

We had a blast. Auburn won 10-3, and the drive gave us a nice, uninterrupted chance to talk about where we’re going & what we’re doing for our wedding anniversary this year.

We were trying to get this picture when Spike, the opposing team’s cutie pie mascot, came and crashed the party! But we didn’t mind- he was pretty cute for a bulldog. :) Their stubby little bodies and smooshy little faces remind me of Miley & Howie.

(BTW, Miley & Howie are totally pulling for this little guy in the Final Four. Meep!)

Thanks for looking & Happy Monday!

Wonderful Weekend

Last Saturday, I remember…

Getting up at the crack of dawn. Taking a drive. Seeing the snow- beautiful. Morning shopping at the Summit. Being showered with festive Valentine’s cookies, cupcakes and treats in all the stores- just for shopping. Lunch @ The Cheesecake Factory. Yummy, yummy cheesecake.

(Mouseover this image for a cool effect- click on the numbers that pop up!)

  • 1. Godiva Chocolate Brownie Sundae (Kevin’s)  
  • 2. Layers of cheesecake, fudge cake, & chocolate truffle cream. YUM! :) (Mine!)  
  • ♥ Swearing I’d never eat again.  
  • ♥ More shopping at Brookwood Village.  
  • 3. Being whisked to Godiva and getting to design my own custom 8-piece chocolate collection.  
  • ♥ Eating again.  
  • ♥ More shopping.  
  • 4. Funky, hot pink scarf from Gloss  
  • 5. Painterly Blooms Scarf from LOFT  
  • 6. Loving this bag from Charming Charlie’s  
  • ♥ Happy.  
  • 7. Finding a candle that smells exactly like our favorite ice cream spot.  

Spending the whole day with my sweetie.

All in all, it was a *14 hour* shopping day with my Valentine. I love you baby!

♥♥♥

On Sunday we slept in, and sometime during the middle of the night- it snowed. When we woke up, everywhere we could see was covered in fresh, white powder.

Kevin went out into the cold and took this picture. I stayed inside in my pajamas. See Miley & Howie? :)

Sunday night, we had reservations for dinner and a movie.

We had reserved seats for the movie too- no waiting in line! :) We sat in a love seat and saw Valentine’s Day. I loved it. They brought us complimentary chocolate covered strawberries. We ate sweet potato fries during the movie.

I wore these boots.

I want to go back every week. Happy, happy Valentine’s Day ♥

P.S. Remember my Valentine’s Day Surprise from 2008?

XOXO
