Valentine's Day & a question for Mac users.

How was your Valentine's Day?!?

I'm currently typing on my band new MACBOOK PRO!!

For Christmas one thing my parents gave me was $200 towards my MacBook. Lucas said he'd pay for a couple hundred.. However, I sucked at saving my money so Lucas said that for my birthday he'd pay for more of my MacBook. So, I decided to start saving. I have a few hundred saved up to go towards my MacBook.. 

Well, it's about 5:30 on Valentine's Day and we plan on leaving for the Maroon 5 concert at 6:30. I ask Lucas if I was getting anything for Valentine's Day.. he tells me that he has to run to he store. 

I was pissed. I told him not to get me something last minute and being the complete brat I am I told him that it wouldn't top my rings from the past two years. 

Around 6:15 he calls me to tell me he's almost here and asks me why I sounded so upset. He walks in the door a few minutes later with flowers. He's very good at picking out flowers. Even though I tell him to just go buy cheap ones he always goes to a florist and picks out the ones he knows I'd like. I'm not a big fan of roses, I like different flowers, really pretty ones. He really does always do an awesome job at picking flowers.. but, I was still kind of bummed.. and I'm so embarrassed by it but, I actually said to him, "I really thought that you would of surprised me with a MacBook." And here's the thing, I never thought that. It was that moment of being really mad and I just said the most selfish thing I could think of. 

He told me that he would get it for my birthday and he had my gift in his car. He goes outside and comes back in with.. my MacBook Pro. With 2 year insurance, virus protection.. everything. I started balling. I felt awful. But, I was so surprised and so happy. I guess sometimes last minute gifts aren't so bad. And I guess sometimes my only child syndrome shines through.


Maroon 5 was FABULOUS!! But, I'll save that for another day.


I do have a quick question for all Mac users! My other laptop was Windows.. I used live writer to write all my blog posts. I felt like it was so much easier and I really loved it. Obviously I can't use it now with my Mac. I tried to find other blog editors and I couldn't find any free ones. I really would rather not pay for an editor.. unless I know for sure that it's amazing. What do you guys use for your blog posts or do you just use blogger?! HELP!!!



I'm here to show off what I received from a Valentine's Day swap I participated in!
Love, Fun & Football

 The amazing Wendy from Our Happily Ever After sent me the perfect gift!


I was a little sad that the fondue set broke during shipping.. 
but, the chocolate didn't and I believe my mom has a small one so I can still use it!



I was so happy with everything Wendy sent me! It's very possible that the chocolate didn't last more than 3 days.. ooops.

Hope you all had the perfect Valentine's Day! I also hope that all the candy is on sale now!

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog. If you’re not a big shot blogger, like myself.. this post is for you. If you are a big shot blogger, this post is also for you.. but, none of you will read this. These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond. Personally.. if you ask me something I most likely will respond. A lot of the time I get comments that pretty much all I can say is “Thank you!” to.. I mean.. I’ll absolutely always respond if you e-mail me.. or even if you comment on instagram.. I respond almost inst...

Friday’s Letters!

Dear Pictures Of Myself, Why do you always look so bad? And, no.. I am not saying I’m ugly or any of that.. so please, don’t jump down my throat about that. But you know how some girls look 100 times better in their photos than in real life? Well, that’s not me.. and people have had no issue telling me that. Which, I guess is better.. unless you only see photos of me.. ehh, whatever. Dear Blog, I will be spending some time on you today. Planning some posts, commenting on some of my favorite blogs.. all of that stuff good bloggers do. Dear Friday, I’m so glad to be seeing you! Next Friday I will be enjoying Chicago for the very first time at the Keane concert with the love of my life! I need to make you a very productive day.. since Thursday was anything but productive. Dear Lucas Blaze, Thank you so much for planning on booking our room today after you get out of work around 7am… You’re the best. Last weekend was so amazing. I love all of our fun little dates. Dear Dark Hair, ...

How To Be A Fashion Blogger

From a non-fashion blogger. First. You’re going to find pants, a few shirts and any jewelry you can manage to find. Anything goes. Second. You must make your hair look like a character Dr. Seuss would create. Third. Get all awkward, set up your camera and be a little fashion trend setter! Make sure to include a tiny bit of your face. It adds to the overall quality of the photo. You also want to edit your photo, a LOT. This is not for Facebook. It’s for your FASHION BLOG.   Hold your waist to make it look like you’re so skinny you’re going to break… … Or whatever the reason that they do that pose..   A photo like this will show off a different angle of your outfit. You can tell your readers it was an accidental photo as you were leaving the house. Make them believe that this is what you wear to take the kids to school/walk the dog.   When wearing designer clothing ALWAYS show a proof picture of the label. Also, if you wear a size XS you also have to show a pi...
