Birthday and Valentines

Drew is the closest Eden got to having a "Valentine" this year.

Granted she ONLY hangs out with boys and she DID kissed a boy in nursery (not Drew)...

But Eden has been doing a lot with Drew this past week and she loves Drew as a playmate. Drew has tried to hold her hand a few times while in the car...but she hasn't picked up on the signals. This is the only picture I have of them together.
But I had a Valentine this year....

(These are my Valentines Day pancakes "T + B" if you can't tell. I'm cheesy at times, I know.)

Basically what it comes down to is...

I love my husband.
And he loves me.

This year's birthday and Valentines day were AWESOME. Granted we celebrated both on my birthday because Valentines was on a Sunday...but it was still awesome.

It was strange because we didn't mean it to happen the way it did.

Tyson and I often dream of "when we have money..." or "someday I'd like to...". Recently Tyson has been saying "You know, one day we're going to wake up STILL saying those things and NOTHING will ever have been done." So, I decided to take a step at DOING the things we talk about doing. Side note: It scared me.

So, I woke up on my birthday with the idea "let's do something about not doing what we want to do". For my birthday, Tyson gave me money to play with and we went shopping.

We bought this CUTE ottoman to put Eden's toys in and keep our living room a little less like "Eden's large playroom".
I bought some other things to help our house look a little more "soft" and "homey" such as the vases with flowers, the shelf, and picture frame. (I hope you all like it cause this is my first attempt at really "decorating"...I've never been good at adding a "feminine touch" to things).
Tyson bought some wood and put his handyman skills to work making shelves for extra storage.
Tyson came home and for my birthday he also spent the whole time mounting things on walls, figuring out where things would go, etc. Once again, I love my husband.

We still want to add curtains and pillows. My mom is helping make some pillows and maybe curtains. We're excited about that.

Then we went out to eat. Eliza and Chuck took Eden for a few hours while we went to Olive Garden (definitely a place I would enjoy more than Tyson). The best part of the night was that we talked and laughed so hard that I can honestly say "I haven't laughed that hard in a LONG time."

Basically....it ROCKED.
