'tis the season!

Every year I host something we call Cookie Bake,

we have a secret santa,

make tons of goodies(that everyone gets to take home)

make new friendships,

have fun.

But do you know what it takes to host one of these?

Money.

Time.

Commitment.

Passion.

It's hard, 

but it is worth every second and penny in the end!

This is the first year I will be sharing it all with you,

but I am the most excited for this one!

I will show you the decor, the gifts, the recipes!

Everything.

Do you have any ideas?!

Love Day Recap

This year for Valentine's Day, I was broke!
But The Boy had some money and made the day so special for me :)

First off, let me start by saying I do not have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I am known to sleep until The Boy gets home from school (11:30 am or later).
But this day, he expected me to not only be up, but fully ready for a lunch date.
Uh hello! That's almost impossible!

But I worked super hard and was ready by 12:15!!
&Off we went :)

He decided to take me to Hunan, the best Chinese place in town!

And in case you were wondering(which I know you weren't), I am a Monkey since I was born in '92!

I got egg drop soup&General Tso's! Yummmmm :)

Me burning my lips on hot soup :(
Dustin burning his tongue on MY food!

He also got me a Mason Jar, filled with sweets including Reese's!
Man, he knows me well.
But I forgot to take a picture, and the candy is all gone now...boooo!

Later I went shopping!
I got tons of clothes. Cute shirts, a dress, some leggings, shoes, jewelry. hehehe! I cannot wait to show you all of it!
But for now, you get this:

I know, such a mess, but I couldn't give away too much!

And then for dinner, we bought breakfast bowls at walmart and had a nice delicious glass of chocolate milk.

All while cuddling and Watching Green Lantern :)


What a good day!
How was your Valentine's Day?
Any special traditions with your significant other?

Stay tuned tomorrow for My New Year Blog Party Post!
(talk about being late!)

Our Love Story

Before I begin, Happy Valentine's Day to all you lovely readers!

4-16-10  My Soulie is over, and we go on the website Chat Roulette. We do our usual, flirt and leave. Or just repeatedly next people because they are nasty and feel the need to get naked. It's a ridiculous site I tell you! But we found these 2 guys. Weird weird guys. One was playing guitar(yankee doodle to be exact) and one was typing to us. We talked for a while, they were nice, not jerks like most you find, and we gave them My cell number as a joke.

4-17-10 The next day I get a text from a random number. Guess who it is? Chat roulette guy. Turns out his name is Dustin, and he is super nice. So we talk, we get to know each other. I was not looking for anything more, I had a boyfriend at the time.

4-23-10 We have been talking nonstop for days. He is cute, we start flirting. My boyfriend and I are having problems and he is my release. He tells me he loves me. Uh huh! You read that right. That soon!

4-30-10 I turn 18(woohoo!), my boyfriend breaks up with me. I realize that maybe Dustin is the one for me.

May-July 2010 I struggle with commitment to Dustin. I cannot handle a long distance relationship, so until we meet I can't be exclusively his. (Oh god, I was so selfish! I regret this period in my life FYI )

August 2010 We meet for the first time. 6 amazing, too short, days full of loving and learning about each other.

September 2010 I move to Connecticut, 650 miles away from everything I know, to be with him.

June 2011 He moves to Ohio with me, to be back where I am from and go to school.

August 2011 Dustin leaves because he is not happy in Ohio.

September 2011 He comes baaaaackk :)

And now, here we are, celebrating our Second Valentine's Day Together!

A couple sidenotes to this post:
-we celebrate our anniversary as the day we met, because there never was an "official" day we started to be together.
-Even though our relationship has been rocky, far away, and difficult, we make the best of it each and every day!
-I will post about this years V-day on Thursday! :)
