La-Heart-Vee You

Valentines is one of my favorite holidays, and I have looked forward to it every year since dating Colby.  To start out the season I made a little festive decor with an idea from here. Colby looked at it and said, "La-Heart-Vee?.... I La-Heart-Vee you!"  Whatev, I love it.
I love that Colby and I have traditions beginning with our first Valentines 3 years ago, I can't believe this was our 4th Valentines, how the time flies!  3 years ago, we decided Valentines was supposed to be mostly home made (although he completely went against the rules the last 2 yrs).  This year went much like the last, as we think some of last years traditions will stick.
Heart pancakes- Colby's treat this time
The usual pretty bouquet Colby arranges himself,
A picnic at the park full of heart shaped food,
Complete with fruit salsa and this year heart shaped mini pizzas.

No it wasn't as extravagant as last year, but I had a certification test for work the day before that I studied for all weekend and it cut down on the time put into presentation.   Although Colby made up for the lack of presentation when he presented his big surprise...
I have had some pretty weird and surprised picture faces lately
Yep, he spent hours cutting out the letters and ironing it all on himself.  Nothing says "I love you" like a big head on the front of your shirt:).  He tried to get me to wear it to work, but luckily, excuse me, I mean UNfortunatley  I work somewhere that has a dress code, although the more I look at it, the more it makes me giggle, it is Colby's personality to a T.  You may or may not get a rare glimpse of me in this outside of the house, that is if you're really lucky, and I have stripped myself completely of my self consciousness.  Ha ha oh Colb's, you are the best.
   Love you Colby!
Happy Valentine's Day!

Winter Harvest

Yep, I wrote that correctly.
Colby pulled out a whole crate worth of carrots on the 11th of February. Gardens are the best.

Mission Possible-Barely

What do this
This
And this
Have in common?
They all are a part of a Secret Agent themed New Beginnings 2012.
 Somehow I got finagled into being in charge of New Beginnings this year.  So thanks to this site, I was able to get some ideas.  Being in charge of these types of things makes me grateful for all that my YW's leaders did for me.  I was ready to pull my hair out by the time Feb 1st came around.
But thanks to these girls, it came together with most of my hair still intact.
