This weekend was a great weekend. I came home on Friday to find a package from Jules at Chic and Pink! I was so excited when I won her fabulous giveaway! Thanks again Jules!!!!! Jules is just the sweetest!!! If you haven't visited her blog, make sure you do! In all the excitement of playing with my new things I forgot to take a picture. However, if you go here you can see what I won!
Michael and I had a fabulous Valentine's. It was pretty low key! Michael had to judge a mock trial competition, so he was gone until late afternoon. When he came home, we went to a very late lunch and then took a little field trip down the road to see the baby lambs at The University of Georgia's farm. The baby lambs are so cute!!! They are always a favorite of mine this time of year! We weren't very hungry when dinner time rolled around, so we went to a little wine and coffee bar instead of going to dinner. There we enjoyed the romantic atmosphere along with a couple of glasses of wine and a cheese tray. It was perfect! As promised, I made Michael chocolate covered pretzels, and he surprised me with a very nice bottle of red wine.
Staying with the theme of Valentine's Day, my favorite thing today is a book that my minister had Micheal and I read before we got married. I know many of you have heard of it and even read it. It is called The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman. This book really opened my eyes and helped Michael and I learn to communicate better. It even helped me to get over a few issues that I harbored from a very bad time in our relationship because I finally understood the reason our relationship was so rocky during that period of time. This book is a great tool in any relationship! Heck, I would suggest reading it even if your single!

Wine, baby lambs, & cheese? Sounds like a fabulous V-tine's weekend to me! Low-key is definitely good. And this soda-fountain-pharmacy thing sounds positively adorable! Jealous!
I have heard so much about this book! I'm getting married in October and I think my future Hubby and I need to get a copy!
Sounds like you had a great Valentine's Day! I will definately have to read that book:)
You forgot the part about getting a buzz from the essential oils during our lunch break!
I am so glad you liked everything :) It sounds like you had a great Valentine's Day. The wine and coffee bar sounds so fun and the baby lambs must have been adorable.
The pharmacy you went to for lunch sound very fun!
Such a fabulous, eye opening book. I can honestly say that this book played a big part in saving my marriage. I also love the version for kids. It's such an "AH HA" moment kind of book :)
Glad I found your blog! I'll be back!
so glad to hear that you had a wonderful Valentine's Day. I love low-key days .. and baby lambs :)
We too had a low-key valentine's day and I loved it!
We are always so busy and running 90 miles and hour, so we just laid around together all day and watched movies, had dinner....and too much wine!
I have that book on my "I need to buy" list! I'm glad to know you recommend it.
