My Birthday and Valentines Day

I had a great Birthday this year. Since Landon and I have gotten married I get to celebrate my birthday twice at each of our families houses. I got to take the day off from work and relax! It was great, to start it off my sis Lex took me to Kneaders for breakfast!  Then Landon surprised me and sent me to the spa for a wonderfull hour massage! We went to Color Me Mine and painted mugs and had a blast, we both had never been and it was so much fun I cant wait to go back. We went out to a wonderful dinner at Carraba's where we went on our first date to a couple years ago, It was SO good! And then Landon gave me my beautiful bed that he had made for me! I LOVE it! It is by far the coolest present ever, and its even better because now over the years I can look at it and sleep in it and remember that Landon made it for me!

A few days later we went snowboarding after some new snow had fallen and had a great time. We both love to snowboard but because of work and school we dont get to go often. It has now become tradition to go for my birthday, something fun and exciting that I look forward to!

For Valentines day we celebrated over the weekend. It was fun just to spend some time with each other. Landon banished me to the bedroom on Friday and surprised me and made a wonderful meal with candles and flowers. Landon got up and surprised me with making "heart shaped" pancakes for breakfast on Sunday, and then I made another romantic dinner for us on Sunday.

Also on another note I have started a new hobby!  Not that I really have a ton of extra time to have another hobby but I have fun with it. I always wanted to learn to make pretty cakes! I love watching the show Cake Boss on TLC and thats what started it. So finally I found an excuse to practice making my first fondant cake for our friend Kenna's 20th Birthday.  I loved how it turned out! I cant wait to find another reason to make another cake!

Around the house

So we moved into a new apartment about two months ago and all the walls were bare. So my nesting bug kicked in to make our new place a little more homey.  Here are some things I have done.

I saw this picture in the pottery barn magazine and thought it was fun but they wanted $200 bucks for the thing. So me and Landon came up with our own for about $25 with stuff from home depot and walmart. and now were slowly adding pictures and nick nacks to it.

Also I saw this cute entry way decoration and copied it for our from entry table, I got the lantern at Ikea for about $10 bucks and I spray painted it cream and added some decor balls and the letter C.


And then some cute pictures and a hanging planter tin I got for my birthday around the front door to finish it off.

I have a few more things on my to do list for the house. Since Landon made me a beautiful bed for my birthday I am now getting around to decorating our bedroom. Im going to attempt to make a new duvet cover and some curtains add some pictures and tie the whole room together.  I will post pictures when its all done!

Everythings Magic

So hear this please
And watch as your hearts speeds up endlessly
And look for the stars as the sun goes down
Each breath that you take has a thunderous sound
Everything, everything's magic
Just sit back and hold on, but hold on tight
Prepare for the best and the fastest ride
And reach out your hand, and i'll make you mine
Everything, everything's magic

-Angels and Airwaves

I was listening to this song tonight, it made me thing of my wonderful wife Michelle. I feel this is our story. That this was written for us. I am completely in love with my wife. When I am with her everything's magic. When I look back on the time that I have known my wife, my mind is filled the 'best and fastest ride' of my life. She is my everything.

Michelle is my Magic.

-Landon
