Je t'adore

Has it really been a year since my last Valentine's Day post? Gosh!! This v-day was the first time I've really gone all out for a holiday, and although a cheesy one, it has become one of my favorites since being married. 

I wanted to make the day special for Jason and really show him how loved and appreciated he is by me. I decided the best way to do that was to write all the things I love most about him-- heart attack style. I started cutting out paper hearts weeks in advance, and I randomly jotted notes on my phone whenever he did/said something I loved. Each day I would cut out more hearts because my list kept getting longer and longer! {Not pictured: I also heart attacked our bedroom and hung christmas lights to make it oh so romantic}


Needless to say, he loved it. I could cut out thousands of hearts for that boy. Jason made us chicken quesadillas for dinner {his specialty} and we burned off the calories at the gym afterwards.

OH I was also offered a job that day.

Long story short - I quit my job at Discover about two weeks ago because I really couldn't take the eight hours a day of thankless callers anymore. I felt under appreciated as an employee and ultimately decided that I would be much happier ANYWHERE else. After one particularly rough work day, Jason and I came to the decision that I was going to quit. So I did, and I've been so so soooo happy since then. I've gotten a much needed break from full-time work, and I was able to score a better job with better pay in that two week period. Honestly, we've been blessed.


It was a great Valentine's Day. I kept telling Jason how excited I am to spoil our future babies with over-the-top love on this day. That's going to be the best. I hope everyone felt so loved yesterday, and everyday! xoxo
