my sappy weekend recap!

This is my brag post about my weekend and I hope you enjoy!

First of all, I celebrate my birthday on the day that everybody expresses their love. That's right, Valentine's day. I haven't ever been the biggest fan of that. Being married was leaps and bounds better than before though! I had to go run a few errands and when I came home,  John gave me these lovely red roses. I'm a sucker for flowers and these are just beautiful. I am so in love with my husband and every day I fall more and more in love with him.

After hours of homework, I was getting ready for our date night and this lovely necklace arrived for me. I won it in a giveaway from Billy Beads. Isn't it gorgeous?  Well I wore it to dinner, and school the next day, and church today. Can you tell I like it?

We stuffed our faces at Texas Roadhouse, ordered way too much food, and have been eating leftovers for days. We planned to see the new Nicholas Sparks movie, Safe Haven after eating, but we seriously ate enough food to put us to sleep. However, we did go see it last night and I bawled like a baby. I am a big sucker for those movies. Who doesn't love love right?

Remember these printables I made? Well I didn't get to actually hanging them up, but I definitely displayed them and here's how they turned out! Everyone who has stopped by absolutely loved them, which made me feel very loved.

And here's a photo of me and my chunky niece Savannah. I have the privilege of babysitting her Monday, Wednesday, Friday while my sister is in class and I love it. Tell me she isn't the cutest baby ever.

happy valentine's day!

Here's a shout out to the one I love most!

I hope everybody's V-day is surrounded by those you love. Details to come on our sappy adventures soon.

v-day decor

V-day is approaching and love is in the air. I think it's all sorts of exciting. Sorry for those of you who don't. Well this is my contribution. I designed some prints to hang up in my home to get us in the mood. What do you think?

I just got them printed and bought some frames and later tonight I am going to hang them up! If anybody is interested in getting these printables, just let me know and I am more than willing to share the goods. I'll post pics later of how they look all framed and hung.

february already?

Can you believe it's February already? This month is a special one. It's my birthday, valentine's day, and John and I will be celebrating our 6 month anniversary also! I can't believe it's almost been half a year already.

Over the weekend I drove down to Pocatello to judge a cheer competition. It was lots of fun and I was able to spend some time with my parents also. My dad and I went to cafe rio for dinner and watched the Jazz game together. The next day, my mom and I went shopping for an early birthday present. We picked out some fabric so I could make a quilt for John and I. We only have a comforter, and it would be nice to have an extra blanket for these cold winter nights. I hope to get started on the cutting on Saturday. What do you think of the fabric I picked out?

I'm hoping to do something a bit like this chevron quilt. I don't know what it is about chevron stripes lately but I love them. It will make for a cute design and some great snuggling.

I've never really done anything for the superbowl but this year John and I went over to watch it with some of his old roommates. I can't say I was too enthused over the game, but I did make a really yummy dip that everyone loved! Of course I got it from pinterest, along with all of my other great ideas I would love to claim as my own. Check the recipe out HERE.

It was absolutely delicious! Who can't resist a chocolate chip dip? Especially when cream cheese is involved. I used teddy grahams to dip. Next time I do it I will probably just use graham cracker squares though because the teddy grahams were rather small. Seriously though, it was so simple and such a success. I dare you to try it.

 John isn't really sure what to get me for my birthday/valentine's day so I told him I would make him a wishlist. Don't worry, I would rather know that I will love what I'm getting, instead of hope that he gets me something good. So here it is!

 

1. Pink, polka-dot, sweater
2. Nike free run 3.0 V4
3. Rhinestoned Heart Studs
4. Faceted Heart Necklace 
5. Workout Capris 

 As for what I'm getting for him for valentine's day, well that will just have to be a surprise!

Even though I was apart from John for the weekend, my favorite part was staying up late texting him. He still gives me all sorts of butterflies inside. I was even lucky enough to come home to a completely clean house. That's right, dishes done, bed made, clothes picked up from the floor. I think I'll keep him around ;)

did you say free printables?

Alright everybody! Valentine's day has always been a special day for me because... it's my birthday! I have no idea if anybody is even interested in some cute valentine decor but here are a few cute printables that you can either frame, print on a canvas, put in a photo book, or whatever else your heart desires! All I ask is that your use is personal. Please do not copy, manipulate, or reproduce for your own personal gain. Also, I'm trying to get my blog name out there so if you could somehow mention the name color that or refer them to my site address http://colorthat.blogspot.com/ then that would be so helpful! Feel free to share this link to friends, families, etc. 

These prints are available in either 5x7 or 8x10. If you have any other size requests then just ask and I can email you whatever you would like! 

 All you have to do is follow one of the links, open up the file with the size and color you want, and click download! Let me know if there are any questions. I am trying out box.com and so far their preview of the file looks different than what the download actually is. The colors are off so just excuse that. The colors you see here on my blog are the colors you will be getting!

Just click on the link HERE if you want .jpg files and click HERE if you want .pdf files. Enjoy!

I plan to have more free printables in the future! If you have any requests then feel free to email me at missy.dorius@gmail.com or comment on this post or anywhere else on the blog.
