Valentines Day!

As promised, here are pictures from our Valentines Day Date! It was so fun to just hang out with Domenic, he is the sweetest guy in the whole world. I love him so much. He made me my favorite dinner, his famous white sauce with mushrooms and onions and fresh pasta of course, such a sweet heart. This is the same dinner he made me last year for valentines day when we were dating. We pretty much tried to re-inact last years v-day date and i think we did a pretty good job.

Yuuuum!!!!

What would valentines day be without sparkling cider and awesome glasses?

The awesome set up, way to go babe! Domenic has some good taste.

Cheers!

These are the goodies Domenic's parents sent us for Valentines day. It was so exciting to get a package (something that doesnt happen very often) we acted just like little kids when we got it and ripped it open! Almond Roca is the best!

Domenic gave me a beautiful red rose, and ENCHANTED!!! I was so excited I jumped up and down and gave him a huge hug which was when he told me that he hadn't actually bought the DVD yet, but was planning on it (this one was his friend's wife's movie). But i was still excited that I get my own someday :)

You know you are a newly wed and in college when the only thing you have to use for wrapping is old Christmas bags. I love it.

Dom would probably kill me if he knew i had posted this picture of him, but i had to because the card is SO cute!

I got him Meet the Robinsons and the Sandlot,two of our favorite movies.

Can you guess what we made for dessert???

Sportin' the aprons

I love my husband! haha he ALWAYS makes me smile.

This is the apron I made with a tremendous amount of help from Domenic's extrememly tallented Mother.

Washing the strawberries

Dipping the strawberries

CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES!!!!

Just a little background info, last year when we were dating, Domenic planned this super cute and romantic valentines date where he actually first told me he loved me :) He was insitant on me not bringing ANYTHING to contribute tothe dinner but i didn't listen and made chocolate covered strawberries for dessert anyways. Well it just so happened that he did the same thing so we had about 2 dozen chocolate covered stawberries. What a coincidence! So we had to made more this yearin memory of our valentines last year.

We had left over chocolate so we decided to make chocolate covered raisins (they tasted just like raisinetts, although we were cracking up becasue I called them craisins instead. Definately the wrong name)

.....And Chocolate Cheesecake(with a homemade graham cracker crust)! So good.

Happy lovers day!

Yup, we are in love.

Sweet Finds

You know that awesome feeling when you get a really awesome deal on something or find something cute for really super cheap, well I had the opportunity to have this kind of experience yesterday!

SO I have not been shopping in FOREVER, mostly because money is tight right now (such is the life of a newly wed couple) and good shopping is a half hour away from Rexburg in Idaho Falls.

Anyways, I finally got out of Rexburg and ventured out to I.F. with my good friend Kari. We ended up leaving at around 8 a.m. and then got to the D.I. at around 9, but they weren't open until 10! So then we went to this other 2nd hand store and found some sweet stuff for our houses!!! It is amazing what you can find at places like that. Anyway, I don't have pics of the stuff but you will just have to take my word for it, it rocks! 

Here is a list of some of the stuff I got (just in case you were wondering) :

Jacket for Dom ($3.50, not second hand but BRAND NEW from Old Navy, right now all of the mens clearance is an additional 50% off, amazing.)

3 pillar candle holder (9.00, regularly $20-25 i'm sure)

Curtain rod ($1.50, even at ross they were still like $18)

White Vase ($1.00)

4 Pillar candles, 2 round and two square ($2 each, all brand spankin new! and they smell really good, vanilla)

Picture Frame ($0.75)

2 Shirts for me (Brand new from Old Navy also, $5.00 each)

Glass mini-hurricane candle holder ($1.00)

And a couple other things I cant remember at the moment. 

Needless to say I had a BLAST (Kari, you are amazing!)

P.s. in case you were wondering, we DID do something for lovers day, but I have been too busy to put pictures up but don't you worry, they will come!
