I have...

The most amazing fiancé of all time. There's nothing really that prompted this... just that he's in Tampa (again) for the SEC basketball tournament and I miss and love him a lot.

I love you baby! Come home soon!

I'm sad :(

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day everyone! I hope everyone got lots of love :)

Ian sent me these beautiful flowers at work on Friday. They're anniversary flowers! February 13th is the day that we met for the first time.... 3 years ago! Time has gone so fast and it seems like we've known each other forever... Also, my grandparents met for the first time on that same day, 49 years earlier than us. Pretty cool!

We also went out to dinner at Yazoo Courtyard Grill in Tuscaloosa... the earliest reservation we could get was 9:30 so it was late, but we had a great time. We had a great bottle of wine, and great food (Seared tuna for me, Filet Oscar for Ian... and crab stuffed mushrooms, of course!)

And this.... is the gorgeous ring that Ian got me! I've been eyeing it for literally 2 years at a jewelry store here in Tuscaloosa... evidently he pays attention. Good job Ian!!! I love it!

Last week was an exciting week wedding-wise... My dress came in - and it FITS! Whew... huge relief, considering I went against the recommendation of the store and ordered one size smaller than they said I should get ;) Also, our wedding bands came in! I absolutely love both of them!!!

Mine with my engagement ring... I LOOOOOVE it!!

That's it for now. I have tomorrow off... Happy President's Day! Ha... banker holidays are great! So we're going to go see Slumdog Millionaire tonight. Looking forward to it!

Congrats!!

I'm so excited for Judd and Kacie! Now let's just hope that this will fit into this :) And if not, then there are plenty of cute black dresses out there. We'll make it work!

I love you!!!! I'm so excited for y'all!!!!

Dinner!

One of my customers gave me a gift certificate to J Alexander's last week so Ian and I went there when he got back from Arkansas today. It was really good!! I had this delicious steak that was marinated in tropical teriyaki tasting stuff. I ordered it medium rare and it came out... medium rare! It's ALWAYS overcooked. Nope! If anything, it might've been slightly undercooked, which was fine by me. I like 'em bloody :) And the mac n cheese..... delicious.

The dogs completely shredded a newspaper while we were gone. From the looks of it, they had a GREAT time while we were away.

Superbowl party at our house on Sunday! All are welcome :)

Time to watch Grey's!

25 Things...

Note: I know everyone says they never do these, but I really don't. In fact, I've never done one. Jessie and Megan: feel special.

Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

1. I love my dogs. Even though they can be obnoxious sometimes, I still love them a lot (but not as much as Ian!)

2. I love surgery shows. This includes medical dramas (House, Nip/Tuck/Grey's, etc) but also includes Plastic Surgery: Before and After, Trauma: Life in the ER and other sorts of graphic bloody shows. I can't help it.

3. While I love the surgeries (especially plastic surgery) I absolutely cannot watch anything having to do with the nose. Nope, no way. My septum is crooked, and the idea of them using a hammer and chisel to fix it is just gross.

4. I hate showering. I do it anyway, of course, but I really don't like it at all.

5. When I carry a purse, I'll usually carry it for months at a time without switching. It's just too annoying to have to move everything from one to another.

6. My brother is a chef and makes the absolute best food ever. My mom and grandmother are right up there with him.

7. I love red wine. My wine tastes have changed drastically in the last year or so. I started out with just sweet whites, then migrated to dry whites, then pinot noir only, now I'll drink anything red and only really good whites.

8. I like Miller Lite WAY better than Bud Lite, but I'm not totally sure I can tell the difference in taste.

9. I don't have a favorite color.

10. TiVo has completely changed my life. I don't know what I used to do when I had to watch a show the moment it was on. What did I do when I was busy??

11. I love Tiffany. I have more jewelry from there than I deserve, but I love every piece of it :)

12. My feet are very temperature sensitive. If they're cold, they're FREEZING. If they're hot, they're boiling.

13. Speaking of temperatures, I don't care if my food is hot. I don't mind it being lukewarm... I just really hate microwaving it because it makes everything soggy.

14. I love cheese. All cheese.

15. To accommodate the cheese, I love going to abs class at the gym. There's something really satisfying to me about abs that are so sore that I am pretty much immobilized.

16. I have the best friends ever! I'm sad that so many of them don't live near me anymore, but I've made some new ones that are awesome too!

17. I can't wait to get married.

18. I get annoyed really easily.

19. I like the water in the shower to be VERY hot. Except when I'm washing my face. My face cannot handle high temperatures. The problem is, when it's cool enough for my face, my body is freezing!

20. When I was in college, I used to make fun of the people who wore Mississippi State gear all over the place. I only owned 1 MSU tshirt! Now I have like 10. My pride and love for the school jumped dramatically after I graduated! Especially now that I live in Bama country!

21. I like to snuggle. A lot.

22. I worked in coffeeshops for a long time. Because of this, I don't drink coffee hardly at all! And it's not because I got tired of it... it's that nobody working behind a counter can make it as well as me :)

23. I can't run on a treadmill. I can run all day long on an elliptical, but keep me away from treadmills.

24. I'm very organized... when I want to be.

25. I love to cook! And I hate measuring the ingredients. A dash of this and a splash of that is the way to go!

There ya go! I'm pretty impressed with myself for actually doing this. So somebody else better do it to!

I tag Kacie, Robin, and Rebecca! Sorry, 25 people isn't going to happen :)
