Valentine

Right after Mardi Gras was of course Valentine's Day (still playing a bit of catch up on this little blog).  Vlad and I had a quiet night in, and he made me an amazing steak dinner with asparagus and potatoes!  The bouquet of speckled roses he brought me were just beautiful, so as I always do with Vlad's flowers, I give you a post about them!  They are still thriving in their vase and make my apartment smell so sweet!  I hope you enjoy them and wish you a splendid week!

Purple Blooms

   Another gorgeous bouquet of flowers to share with you, these ones for my birthday this week!  They have been blooming for days, with the most vivid purple and are so amazing!  Spending the day with one of my closest friends, playing with bubbles and glitter (photos in the next post), then dinner at Mellow Mushroom with friends until cupcakes and cookie cake into the night.  My birthday while quiet on a Tuesday, was lovely all the same.

All Things Yellow

        This Friday marked the beginning of our weekly (or biweekly) "family dinners"!  It's a time when we can all get together as a group of friends, 8 of us this week, and sit down to watch a documentary, talk about the week, and eat a home-cooked meal.  It also gives me a chance to try to new recipes and see how they turn out!  With everyone pitching in, whether its bringing something to share, helping me cook, doing the dishes, or taking out the trash, it becomes an event that we all can take part in and enjoy.  Vlad surprised me with flowers too, which were so beautiful!  Different flowers, but all such a vibrant yellow, they looked amazing in my green and yellow kitchen!  It started off a perfect weekend, which will hopefully be followed by many other perfect weekends in the upcoming fall!
