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.

  • 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

    Amanda, I could devour your blog. You are sooo talented !

    I have a question for you ? I find myself stuck for content, and general interest. I love photography, but use my small Canon.
    I have done three posts now and I think I need a header. Do you do these for people as I am in the dark with digital.
    I would love it if you could drop by and sort of critique my one page, and give me your thoughts.
    I am at http://myredandyellowbaskets.blogspot.com/ I would so appreciate it.
    Thanks either way Connie

    I’ve been trying to get a pea font for my blog titles but am really struggling with webs.com, I wonder if it’s just me? I’ve tried all day and just can’t get it going =(

    OMG, THE BOOTS! Where in the world did you find those awesome boots?
    What size do you wear? Maybe we could share. I just love them……
    I had my 28th wedding anniversary on Valentines Day and I also had a wonderful day with the love of my life.

    Such a wonderful weekend! I’d love to do all those things! =) YUMMY CHEESECAKE!

    Oh & that bag from Charming Charlie’s? I’ve never been there but we just got one in my city & at least 4 friends of mine have said, “melissa you have to go to charming charlie’s! you would love it!” & so my husband said for my bday (march 2) we can go there & i can pick out my bday present! heehee! =)

    i LOVE your house! :)

    HI! I just found your site and wow, you are so talented. I used to dabble in photoshop but its been forever. Now I am begging my hubby for an SLR camera since I found your site. How do you make those small thumbnails that look like photos stacked on each other? Goshm, I could ask you a million questions about photoshop!

    Love your blog and all your pics!

    I see Miley & Howie looking out the door, watching to see what their daddy is doing. What a lovely home you & Kevin have.
    It’s soooooo nice to be young, I can remember those days sooooo long ago. Bless you both & enjoy being sooooo in love.
    Amanda, just love those boots & I am so glad that you had a wonderful Valentines Day. Never stop making special times together, cause once you do, you can never make up for what you have lost.
    Enjoy your website, too.

  15. Diana

    Sounds like the perfect weekend! Love the snow pic of the house and just ADORE those boots! We saw Valentine’s Day movie too and just loved it!

  16. Tami

    That looks GREAT! I love the purse (of course) and the boots!!! Polkadots and buttons and boots all in one??? What could be better???
    Glad you had a great Valentine’s Day! We had a nice day, but if it had involved all of that shopping and chocolate, I’d think it was the best. Mine did involve chocolate, but my hubby thought that a ginger dark chocolate bar would be something I would like. It was gross. LOL! So, he made up for it with a beautiful fruit topped cheese cake from our local french bakery and a bag of my favorite dark coffee beans. Yum! {Then I went shopping this week and bought myself lots of fun stuff…including boots and jewelry} See how that works?
