Valentine's Surprise

Zach and I are not dancing people.

We aren't party people.

We are quiet, read books, watch movies, ride bikes, crochet and sleep late kind of people.

Wild nights for us are watching the antics on Jersey Shore....

I've never been to a club,
and have only been to a bar once.

So it's no surprise that Zach and I had never really danced.

I mean we have joked around and pranced around
in the security of our home,
but we had never really shared a dance...

until our wedding reception.

I told Zach I didn't want to dance,
we didn't have a DJ or a band,
we just had a sound dock, an iPod and our favorite songs from our "reception" playlist.

Most people don't understand how crazily nervous I get in social situations,
so when Zach asked me to dance in front of everyone...
I thought I was going to faint.

He had one of our friends play "our" song
and we danced for two minutes, clumsily and with me sobbing like a baby.

I dreaded this moment for so long,
but looking back it was the best moment of our whole wedding experience.

Zach and I had already exchanged Valentine's Day gifts
(we always give gifts way too early because we are too excited)
so this was a total surprise.

Zach told me where he had hidden it while he was at work (I thought)
but he was actually watching from the window as I opened it :)



While my new necklace is amazing,
the best part was the card.

The line "nobody baby but you and me"
came straight from the song we danced to at our reception.

Penny and The Quarters
You and Me

If the stars don’t shine, if the moon won’t rise, if I never see the setting sun again,
You won’t hear me cry, this I testify; please believe me, boy, you know I wouldn’t lie.
As long as there is

You and me,
You and me,
Nobody baby but you and me.

If you love a soul more than fame and gold, and that soul feels the same about you,
It’s a natural fact, there’s no turning back, and here’s some advice to you:
You’ve got to say it’s,

You and me,
You and me,
Nobody baby but you and me.

When love is real, you don’t have to show it.
When it is true, then everyone will know.
‘Cause there’ll be no one but

You and me,
You and me,
Nobody baby but you and me.

She's Here!


My simply vanilla Blythe
arrived in the mail today all the way from Hong Kong!

I love her already!
I can't wait to customize her :D

I do need help naming her though!

Here are the names I love,
will you help me choose?

Rue


I think its pretty lame that Zach can take such an awesome picture of Rue,
but when I ask him to take a picture of me I always end up looking like I'm 3ft tall... hmmph!

There is nothing more important to Rue
than his squeaky toys.
This picture is so perfect :)

If you don't know what Handmade Ryan Gosling is
YOU ARE MISSING OUT!

A wonderful gift

STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!

How freaking cute is this journal?

It's the perfect fabric and it's so soft!

I'm so in love with floral right now!
(because of my desire for spring time!)





I think the best part about the package
was that she used some of my stamps!

so sweet!

However! I don't think it's fair that you
flaunt your pretty handwriting ;)
Mine is awful!

I can't wait to start writing in my new journal!

I'm actually very mean to journals.

I know a lot of people start from the first page,
and put really cute and memorable things,
and pretty little doodles all in the pages... not me

I start on random pages and scribble nonsense everywhere!

I write ideas that never get read,
and recipes that never get used,
to do lists that never get done....


but I still write it all down any way :)

Thanks Marysza! This is so lovely and I can't wait to send you something :D

Check out her amazing blog and etsy!

She is such a talented lady!
