Color Burst

Some dyed flowers that Matt gave to me <3. He obviously knows my tastes for loud, bright, colorful things.

Birthday Time with a Sinkhole Cake

Last weekend we celebrated Matt's 31st birthday. I'm sharing with you the ghetto birthday cake I baked for him which somehow collapsed while in the oven (we affectionately called it the butthole cake). We had a pretty childish day, went to an arcade and played some mini golf. All in all, a pretty good day!

I'm determined to win next time.

Miniature Love

Sources: 1//2//3//4//5//6//7//8

A bit strange, but I've always had an obsession with all things TINY! I recently discovered the miniature section of etsy.com so I decided to share some of my favorites here. I don't know if I'd be into actually collecting mini things, but they are sure fun to look at. Aww.

Valentine's Day

Pink roses from Matt, along with a cute card and a gift card to my favorite store <3

The only pink I wore, in glittery form.

Chocolates were for him, but he's been giving me all the pieces he doesn't want ;)

Pad Thai Dinner. I was easily impressed by the Coca Cola Freestyle Soda Machine.

Warm Bodies! Was actually a good date movie. Many funny and sweet moments.

5 years

Yesterday Matt and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary. I seriously can't believe it's been that long! I'm usually not the sappy type, but I truly feel so thankful for him every day. I love that I can be my complete self around him, he accepts me for who I am....even when I'm a weirdo. It's still an amazing feeling. He surprised me by getting off work early (and brought me cotton candy!). We went for a long walk since it was so beautiful out and had a nice dinner. I told him not to get me anything but he surprised me with a new phone (my old one sucked). The pic above is the card I got him (cardstore.com). He loved it. :)

Last Weekend

Celebrated Matt's 30th birthday! Made him a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting :)

Birthday lunch at Thai 9

Doesn't look too appetizing, but the pad thai was yummy!

I could look around Jungle Jim's International Market for hours

Yellow Springs Street Festival, was the perfect weather for it

So many people!

Many unique crafts, these suitcases were lovely!

Played some mini golf at The Magic Castle

Matt won but I think he cheated

The mini castle made spooky noises
