Bloomers Flowers on V-Day

     I want to somehow express what the day before Valentines day and actual Valentines day were like for me at the flower shop I work at, but I honestly don't feel like words can express how those days went. When I came home on Monday night I may or may not have cried a little...haha! Then on Tuesday night when I got home I just had to laugh about it with Ben. I think I was a little loopy at that point and SOOO happy to finally be home. I worked from 8am-9pm on Monday and then 7am-8:30pm on Tuesday. The only thing positive about that is the over-time money I'll make! I truly hope that is the last time I have to work at a flower shop on Valentines day.
     I was so happy to come home to a bed covered in candy and...oh yes, Justin Beiber valentines all over the bed with reason why Ben loves me. He's always gotta had a little humor in with the romance ;)  We went and ate at this awesome burger place called The Counter and just relaxed. It was a wonderful ending to my night.

Dragging myself to blog about something :)

       I haven't felt like blogging. I feel like you always have to have something interesting to blog about and I never do! Really though, this blog is more like a journal since other than me there will only be a few people who read it. Thanks for caring about what boring things I have to say :) Haha. With that being said, I'll try to give an update at least for my journal writing purposes.
       Lately I have been getting the feeling that something bad is going to happen. Only because everything in life is going so well right now! Life is good. I love where I live, I get to hang out with family at least once a month if not more, I LOVE the ward i'm in, I've made new friends that I really like, my job at the flower shop is going great, and Ben has a good job...So what's going to happen to me?! Haha. Hopefully nothing. I'm feeling very grateful for all the good things in my life right now and trying to enjoy every minute.
       We've slowly been trying to add some decoration to our apartment. About two weeks ago we were determined to make a headboard. It took us a while to find the right color fabric(and I'm still not IN LOVE with the color), but we finally found some at this HUGE upholstery warehouse in San Diego. Ben always amazes me with his skills, and he whipped out a headboard like it was nothing. It's padded and looks very nice, we just still need to add a decorative border of upholstery nails, so I'll post a picture once that's done.  I've also been wanting to make a new necklace holder out of this shelf Ben found for me and he helped me finish that as well. It hanging above my make-up table Ben made for me and I love my little nook in our bedroom. I'll have to post a picture sometime soon.
       This last Saturday we spent all day at the beach. It was so nice outside! Ben went surfing in the morning, then we went to La Jolla Shores to lay on the beach and then onto La Jolla Cove to just walk around. I now only have to work one Saturday a month instead of every other and since it's warming up outside I can't wait to go to the beach more often!
       Well I hope everyone has a good Valentines Day next week! I've loved this holiday since I was little. Which is surprising since until I met Ben, I had never spent it with a boyfriend/husband haha!  I've just never thought you had to have a significant other to enjoy it! It's all about showing love for those you love. My mom was always so sweet and wrote us a nice card and gave us a little treat on Valentines Day :) Not to mention she helped me make the CUTEST valentines day box for school in 4th grade for our valentines exchange. Props to you Mom. You are a Valentines Day pro! I hope to live up to your high standards one day ;)
