Valentine's Oh So Much Fun!!!

This year was my first year as a married lady on Valentine's Day! Last year Bo and I knew each other but our Valentine's Day was an anti-valentine's party. We weren't allowed to say anything about love, hearts, or the colors red, pink, or white.. It was a ton of fun with all of his friends... But this year was so wonderful. We had talked about heading to Charlotte on Saturday to eat at the Cheesecake Factory; which I was so excited about! Bo asked me though on Wednesday night what time I got out of school on Friday and I said 3 ish. What came next was so exciting. He surprised me with an entire weekend in Charlotte!!!

So we left on Friday after work and headed to Charlotte all along knowing that they were calling for the most snow we had seen in a while. We decided that since Bo is a northerner he could handle driving in the snow and so we braved it. It snowed the entire time on us while driving up there. We stopped at the mall near the Cheesecake Factory and it was snowing when we went in...not knowing that staying in there less than an hour that the entire ground would be covered!!!
Fun Times outside the mall.. All this snow came in less than one hour!!

Roads weren't bad so we headed to the hotel! We stayed at an amazing place which was the Epicenter of Charlotte. It was like a small city within the city. Our hotel was Aloft. You ought to check it out!


We were out walking around in the snow here, that is why we resemble wet dogs! :)

Saturday was COLD and we didn't think that walking around would be a good idea, so we got our car and drove around and found a fun little British pub with Yummy food!!! Dinner that night was at Mez which was in the Epicenter also! We ended the night at Howl at the Moon; a dueling piano dive.


We had so much fun this past weekend. It is nice to be able to get away, eat like you are dying, and just do NOTHING. Thank you honey for an amazing weekend!!!!

Not so fun day off...

So yesterday wasn't the best of days. I hadn't been feeling well and was hoping that if I rested I would soon pass the yuck feeling. After going to bed at 5pm on Monday night and then waking for school I soon realized I wasn't better. I headed to school and then had to get a sub. Being at home alone isn't fun at all; especially when your sweet husband is out of town and can't take care of you. Also on the way home from dancing I hit a pothole along with 7 other cars and we all had blown tires. So here are 10 things I learned yesterday:
1. Sleeping with no alarm is wonderful!
2. Sleeping with no alarm on a rainy day is even better.
3. When you don't feel like eating but get the craving for something...my new concauction of pineapple, yogurt and granola is AWESOME!
4. Taking three kinds of headache medicines at different times of the day won't hurt your body. I tried it and then my headache went away.
5. Chick Fil A makes the best chicken noodle soup in the world and it will solve your aches and pains.
6. Hitting a pot hole at 730 at night isn't fun especially when you have to call someone to help you because your sweet hubby is out of town. The ok part is that the city will pay for a new tire for all of us and any damage that it caused! Dang Spartanburg Roads...
7. When I was off I was stuck at home and not wanting to leave but I did find a great chili recipe we will try tonight. It is a crock pot one! So cross your fingers.
8. I heard that there was more snow and ice coming.. Really? Are you serious?
9. I was able to watch Y&R at its real time rather than on the DVR.
10. I miss my husband when he isn't around... Or have I already said that? I love him tons!
