BEST. MAMA. EVER.

So today was a roller coaster which I'll explain one day. I haven't been myself in such a long time and today I actally felt like hope was slipping away a bit. I checked the mail after school tonight and there was a huge box from my mama :) She always sends the greatest gifts.

That card brought tears to my eyes. It says something along the line "I've loved you since I laid eyes on those big brown eyes and chubby lil legs" :) My mama really knows how to brighten the darkest days. She's my heart and I feel so blessed to have her in my life.

 

Ohh and those boots...I really didn't want to take them off!

Hooray for birthdays!

Steven gave me my birthday present early since I'll be headed to the lone star state tomorrow. I'm absolutely in love with this lil vintage purse! Little red corvette :) I must say he did a pretty good job. He gets a gold star!

And they're off!

Saturday Steven and I decided to go on a fancy date to the Del Mar horse races. I was super excited to get dolled up and break out the floral print, fancy head piece, grandmothers pearls, and va-va-voooom red lips!

Whew knew that horse races were so exciting? All the different hats, fun fashions, and all the horses flying by as people either jumped for joy or anger. I think I found my second favorite sport. (The Dallas Cowboys will always be #1 in this heart) We plan on putting this on the list of "our thing".

I was excited that my horse was in the lead...until the end came BUT it did come in 3rd and that's medal worthy in the olympics!

Admit ONE.

Steven took me to the fair today. Of course it can't compare to the Texas State Fair and getting greeted by Big Tex BUT it comes into a nice pretty second :)

 Seeing all the rides like the ferris wheel and spinning tea cups made me feel like I was 5 again. We bought tickets and went into a fun house which was full of those funny mirrors that make you look weird, spinning tunnels, and slides.

We had a sweet moment on the ferris wheel. I was hand in hand with my sweetheart on top of the world. He's a little scared of heights but I don't think he'd admit to being scared of a ferris wheel (heehee)

 They had everything at the fair from live stock to spaced themed events. I really wanted that lepoard printed chicken. She was a beauty!

I think he'd make a cute space ranger :)

I had my eye on something crazy to eat. They had fried everything! Fried koolaid, klondike bars, twinkies, chicken sandwich with Krispy Kreme donuts for the bun...heart attack right? I settled on a maple bacon donut...omg delish! It tasted like happy :)

 It was an awesome day and I look forward to doing it again! Maybe I'll be able to talk Steven into a big kid ride next year.

We got our duckies in a row.

Steven planned a picnic and paddle boat ride for me at Santee Lakes. How romantic is that! He bought a blanket and lil food pack filled with fruits and cheeses. He even brought bread to feed the duckies. It was so sweet. Just the two of us under a big tree right by the pond.

Love isn't just for the birds

It's our first Valentine's Day as boyfriend and girlfriend. Steven took me to a place here in downtown San Diego called Extraordinary Desserts. I nearly had a heart attack. I wanted everything! All the desserts were topped with fresh cut flowers and flakes of gold. It was so deliciously fancy.

I really wanted those green vintage bowls but they weren't for sale :( They would look amazing in my apartment.

 Don't these make your mouth water? I had the one on the left: Dulce De Leche & Steven had the one on the right: Devonshire Neopolitan. Ohh it was to die for. I also had the Child's Play tea. It was infused with jelly beans. My inner child was screamming yes please! It was delish!

It was a wonderful day out with my love bug. He's pretty romantic when he puts his mind to it. Oh and I absolutley love that last picture of him. He's the cutest!
