One more Valentine's Day Post!

Check it out! Hubs already gave me my Valentine's Day gift. You can read about that whole glorious weekend here. But, he didn't get his stuff until last night. Here's all the stuff my lucky Hubs got for Valentine's Day!

I had to hide things throughout Hub's day yesterday for him to find because he had to work all night. Even though we are celebrating tonight, I HAD to give him his presents yesterday because I was so excited!

I planted this gift on his vanity in the bathroom so when he woke up, he would get it. What was in it? Boxers of course. What girl doesn't like to give their man a pair of good boxers for Valentine's day?

Next gift I planted in his office. I wanted him to get it before he left the house in the morning, but he told me he was running late and didn't get to open it. Maybe he was running late because he couldn't pick out which pair of boxers he wanted to wear! Dang! I should have planned better! We're both Atlanta Falcons fans and this shirt started getting popular right as the season was coming to an end. Hubs loves Pulp Fiction so I knew what I had to do. I bought myself one too so we can match (!!!).

Hubs has his pilot license and works at the airport. I wanted to get him something that reflected that part of his life. I was scouring the interwebs and was just about to give up when I saw the most glorious sight. This gift is beyond perfect. It talks about by flying and fueling up and they are shot glasses! Who doesn't want a shot when they come home from a grueling day of customer service? Incredible. Bought them immediately.

This was the gift I was most excited about. Since the first time that we played this game, we have been addicted. There was only one problem: it was always SOLD OUT! You could buy it on Amazon from 3rd parties but it would always be more than twice the price! We were not doing that! Finally about a week and a half ago I get a tip that it was back in stock, I immediately went to Amazon and ordered it (plus both expansion packs!) and sure enough, an hour later it was sold out again! If you've never played this game and don't mind "adult" humor, I suggest trying it. It can be vulgar, but it's quite the hilarious game. Think "Adult Apples-to-Apples". 

How did your Valentine's Day turn out?

Best. Weekend. Ever.

I had an incredible weekend! Wanna hear about it? OF COURSE you do! 

Friday started out like any other day: at work. This week just happened to be one of the weeks that we had lunch together as a company on Friday. So, there's a good start right there. After eating lunch, I finished up what I had to do at work and rushed home to my man. It was date night! We went out to First Friday in Downtown Valdosta and had a great time! We ate dinner at Bleu Pub (best burgers ever!) and walked around to all of the shops to kill a little time before coming back home. 

We got home pretty early on Friday night so we got a GOOD night's sleep that night and woke up the next morning nice and refreshed. We went to the Verizon store because it was time for my upgrade! Ya'll, Hubs bought me an iPhone 5 and I am in love. L-O-V-E. I never thought that I would be an "Apple" girl, but OMG, this thing is SA-WEET! Hubs was even super nice and bought me this cover: 
It's silver glitter! How perfect! He's even played with it so much that I think he's gonna get one too! Facetime alone is worth it! I got to see my brother's puppy dog, Si, do some tricks yesterday! It was pretty neat! Also, selfies are SO much easier now! Bahaha!

After the fun of getting a new phone, the day wasn't even over yet! It was only 11am! Saturday, the Braves Caravan came through Valdosta and you better believe that I was in that line! For those of you that aren't familiar with Braves Caravan: every year before Spring Training, Braves players (current and former) start having autograph signings around the Southeast, mostly in Georgia. It lasts for about 12 days and it's pretty cool to get to meet the players. This year was the first year that they came to Valdosta. 



We had the pleasure of meeting (from closest to furthest) Eddie Perez (former catcher, current bullpen coach), Greg Walker (hitting coach), Phil FREAKING Niekro (knuckleballer extraordinaire), Ryan Klesko (LF and 1B - played for the Braves when we won the '95 World Series), David Hale (MS Braves pitcher), and Joe Simpson (Current Atlanta Braves broadcaster). We got 2 baseballs signed by everyone and we are now proud owners of this: 


It's beautiful, isn't it? Phil told me that this photo was taken on his last day in a Braves uniform. How cool! We're like BFFs now. I really need to buy a frame for this but until I do, it's in a safe place, away from all harm. Also at the Braves Caravan this happened: 


That's the Braves mascot "Homer", since we really can't have Chief Noc-a-Homa anymore because it's apparently politically incorrect while Washington is prancing around with the "Redskins" as their mascot and the Cleveland Indians have "Chief Wahoo". BUT, that's a soap box I will step on at another time. :) I did manage to get 2 free shirts and a koozie while I was standing in line! Can't beat free! 

That brings us to today. Superbowl Sunday. I've been mentally preparing myself for incredible amounts of greasy and sugar-packed foods to be consumed later by turning on 90's on 9 while cleaning and cooking. By cleaning I mean wiping up the mess I make while I'm cooking and by cooking I mean throwing some meatballs in the crockpot and mixing up some spinach dip and putting it in the fridge... ALRIGHT, so I'm being lazy. I admit it. Whatever. It's Sunday. Day of Rest, amirite? 

I'm pretty excited for a night of football, friends and funny commercials. Who wouldn't love that? For now, back to my 90's music. 

How was your weekend?
