Valentine's Day

So this year for Valentine's Day I didn't tell Tyler not to do anything like I did last year but I didn't tell him he had to do anything either. I let him decide this time. I'll just say that he pulled through with flying colors! I had to work all day so it gave him plenty of time to get things planned after he was done with school. First thing he did for me was send me some beautiful white Calla Lillies (I don't know if I spelled that right), he knows I don't like roses. :) Then about 5 ish he dropped in the branch to say hi. He didn't stay long cuz he still had things to do. Anyway, he picked me up from work about 7 and took me home. He opened the door to our apartment and it was lined with candles, not real ones...that's a fire hazard to leave unattended, but it still got the job done. On the table in the kitchen he had two places set up with my favorite red square plates that we got for our wedding. He went to bought two champagne glasses, red candles, and some nice glass candlesticks. In front of my plate there was a little plastic fox standing on the table. This started last year with a little plastic squirrel...I see a tradition in the making. :) For dinner Tyler went and got my favorite things at Panda Express, sparkling cider, and chocolate pie for dessert. After we ate we went upstairs and on our bed he had scattered Captain America and Thor Valentine cards. It was super cute and, if you know Tyler, totally makes sense.

Don't I have the cutest, sweetest, most amazing husband of all time!? I think so. I'm glad I married him and get to spend eternity with my sweetheart! I love you Tyler Shumway! You're the best! :) :)

Special Delivery!!

Today at about 3 PM we welcomed a new addition into our home. Our new couch! :) It's wonderful, and takes up our entire living room pretty much. Totally worth it though. Here are a few pictures cuz I like to show off new things

This is the whole thing eating our living room. :) It made for a good compromise couch for us. Tyler wanted leather and I wanted micro-fiber (or something similar). As you can see this has black leather trim (for Tyler) and micro-fiber ish like cushions and pillows (for me).

Here's another angle.

Here's some detail on the cushion

Here's one of the pillows that have this cool pattern on them. Ignore the remote...probably should have moved that. Oh well.

Anyway this is our beautiful new couch. We pretty much love it!

We are ridiculous people...

So...Tyler and I have made this realization many times since we've been married, but events of yesterday made it obviously clear, we are ridiculous people. Here's what happened, but first I have to give a little background info. When we got married and moved into our apartment my parents gave us a loveseat that they weren't using anymore. My mom had it in the Music Room in their house when she taught piano so her students had a place to sit and wait. Well she hasn't taught piano at since I graduated from high school. Anyway we have this loveseat...which is fine if you're just sitting doing nothing. It is not well equipped for laying down, cuddling, haveing people over, etc. We've delt with it for the 9 months (almost) that we've been married because it was free and we were too poor to get something new. Well...we got our tax return back have some extra money so we went couch shopping. We weren't really looking for anything too fancy or big, just bigger than a love seat. We went to Downeast because I knew that had furniture and we found one we liked but it was a lighter color and we were a little worried about it getting dirty. So we went across the street to the Fisher Outlet. Then we found it...the perfect couch. We went home really fast and measured to make sure it would fit...and...it does!!! Barely...there's a chase on one end (it's kind of like a sectional but not...) and there's about a foot and a half gap between it and the TV stand. It's going to take up our entire living room (thus making us ridiculous people) but we both loved it so much that we couldn't say no to it. It's so much better than what we have now and it was such a good deal (Fisher's having their President's Day Sale) that we said "Why not?" plus we're hoping to move somewhere closer to campus over the summer and maybe wherever we go might have a bigger living room. We decided our apt is oddly shaped...it's very narrow. Anyway, we've been telling each other "We bought a new couch!" ever since we got home last night. We're both very excited about it. Fisher couldn't deliver it until Saturday so we don't quite have it yet but I will for sure post some pictures of our exciting new purchase so you can see just how awesome it is!

New Blog!

So I had to create another blog for one of my classes at school. It's a "professional blog" so it probably won't be the most exciting thing in the world. Right now it will probably just be posts for assignments and things. I don't really know what to do with it once my class is done...I guess I'll figure that out once we get to that point. You all can read it if you really want to, I guess, there's nothing on it right now though. Here's the link if you feel so inclined to visit.
