Surprise Date

Yesterday was really a wonderful day. I started it off by going to get a manicure...thanks to my mom for watching Little M. Then I played with my little girl, had lunch, and put her down to nap. My baby sister surprised me and came over to babysit early so I could get ready without Little M under my feet. Skip came home at 3:30 and got ready too, and at 4:30 we headed out the door.

Skip promised me that he would let me know where we were going as soon as we left. So as we got in the car and started pulling away, he put on the music in the car. I instantly recognized the music and gasped when I realized we were going to see this:



PHANTOM OF TH OPERA ON BROADWAY!!!! I was ridiculously excited because it is my absolute favorite play. I saw it once in high school and just fell in love.

Anyways, first we went to dinner at a local restaurant and then headed into the city. It was a pretty warm night and perfect to stroll around a little before the show. I was so excited for myself, because I LOVE THIS SHOW, but also for Skip because he had never been to a Broadway play before....ever {which wouldn't be weird if he hadn't grown up 20 minutes outside the city} It was going to be great to share this experience with him.

We found our seats {TEN rows from the front, btw} the lights dimmed, and we were absolutely enthralled for the entire 2 1/2 hours. I literally get chills watching this play. There is definitely a reason this is the longest running play in Broadway history. If you haven't seen it, you really need to!

All in all it was a magically wonderful date night and I could not be more blessed to have such an amazing husband. I love you baby!

    I am seriously soooooo jealous! Not only did he plan a night out for you two but Phantom of the Opera! And dinner alone, just the two of you! You are so lucky! And Skip did all of this and it wasn't even an anniversary!

    PS...I started the Shred today, OMG! I almost didn't survive! I kept reminding myself during the workouts how you said that your abs had never looked better than when you finished! lol

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
