Happy Birthday, JP!

Saturday night consisted of plenty of sushi eating and birthday celebrating with good friends! It was a lot of fun! :)

Oh, and a Happy Valentine's Day to all the lovebirds and free-birds out there! I've seen many bitter and love-sickening Wall posts regarding this holiday, but really for me... it's just another day. I really do like Valentine's Day though, (maybe because deep down I'm a big, romantic cornball)... I read this post a couple of days ago on The Sartorialist and thought I would share a bit of it with you all for Valentine's Day:

"I'm telling you guys again, women notice the small stuff. They notice the gentleness/gentlemenliness more than if you use the right fork at dinner. I'm a very lucky man, Garance notices every little kindness I offer her, she doesn't miss a thing. Knowing that makes it so much more rewarding to do even more little things for her. I'll be honest, my biggest obsession in life right now is not better shoes, more suits or a bigger career but, to simply be a more graceful man for my graceful woman." -- Scott

I thought that was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. If there's anything I've learned within the past year or so... it's that it is the little things in life that really, really count.

XOXO

We've been planning this dinner for weeks, so I'm really happy that it finally happened! Ashley, April, Natalie, and I had a wonderful dinner at Bravo's and spent the whole evening and wee-hours of the morning reminiscing and catching each other up on our lives. We've all been friends since middle school, and though we haven't quite kept in touch in the past six years... it's nice that we can pick up like no time has passed at all.

Love is in the air...

I got this valentine from one of my classmates and I just love it! ... Partly because I've recently started calling Snickers "Love Bug"... hehe!

So for Valentine's Day, my girlfriends and I are doing a secret valentine underwear exchange (I know... I have cute friends...). Here's what I got my valentine ;) I wonder who this could be for..... hehe ;)

Another dreary, blustery day! (If there was only a way I could've photographed the wind!) This has been quite the wintry season (I feel for my family and friends in NoVA and DC)... and by the looks of it, there's a forecast for more snow on Saturday... that'll be three consecutive Saturdays of snow!

I was sad that I left my phone/camera while I was at dinner on Tuesday night at Bangkok Garden because I did not get to capture the wonderful spread of dishes that we had to eat... Mmmmm it hit the spot! And you know I enjoyed my left over Panang curry!

My sister-in-law sent me this photo today, and I just thought it was the cutest/funniest thing! They're all snowed in up in Northern VA... my poor baby must be sooo bored!

A quick side-note: I can't believe I'm about 252 days into this blog!!! Thank you to everyone who has been following... I tell everyone that keeping this blog has been very therapeutic for me, so I hope you all have enjoyed my photos and reading my little blurbs as much as I enjoy posting them! ♥

Snickers spent the whole stormy Saturday nestled in her new bed.

I think she finds it cozy!

Pizza and wings... second time this week (and certainly not the last)! Eeeeeeekkk! It's okay, though... it's food with friends... and I've been working out more ;)

During my undergrad years, I probably spent more time in the library than anywhere else on campus (at least that's what it felt like for me...). I rarely spend that much time in the library these days... I may be getting my "masters," but I don't nearly do as much work as I did when I was at William and Mary. So, when I decided to finish up some reading in the library before class, it was only natural, I suppose, that I felt a bit nostalgic.
