Vday {2013}

I was oober excited for Valentine's Day this year! Not that it should be any different than any other day, but sometimes we get busy with work and our daily routine to focus just on "us" for a day :) This was our first Vday together not only as a married couple, but even being together almost 4 years. We were always either broke up for Vday or apart for some reason. This made yesterday even more special for another "first" in our marriage and relationship :)

 

 

First off, there is a little story behind Jordan's love day planning. A few weeks ago I had been running errands and came across a super cute purse. I casually looked at it and admired how cute it was, but nevertheless kept going with my tasks to do. After all, I can't even remember the last time I bought a brand new purse and frankly it is hard for me to justify spending a lot of money on a purse instead of in it :) Later that night, Jordan asked me how my day was and I started to tell him all the places I went and about my busy day. I casually mentioned the cute purse that I saw at a random store(like I do with EVERY cute thing I see) and kept going with how my day went.

 

So come the night before Valentine's day, after we laid down to go to bed, I made a stupid excuse to go out into the kitchen so I could set up Jordan's little Vday gifts :) I got him a mini stuffed Gorilla, chocolates, a card, some candy, and NBA 2K13 game for his Playstation 3.

 

In the morning, I went into the kitchen to make my lunch before work and glanced on the table to find.....THE CUTE PURSE I SAW IN THE STORE AND TOLD HIM ABOUT!! I was in shock seriously! I never told him which store or the brand or anything! All I told him was the color and that it had a buckle on the front! He is the best seriously.. I love it!

 

 

 

I later was delivered 2 dozen roses at work with the sweetest note... I have the best hubby! He really melted my heart that is for sure! After work, we had an amazing dinner at Red Lobster. Jordan even got all dressed up and looked like a million bucks. I really am a lucky girl! We came back to the house to relax and cuddle and watch a movie :) It really was the best day!

 

It's days like those that I am reminded just how lucky I am to be married to Jordan and how amazing of a husband he is :) I love him more than ever and am so excited to get to spend forever with him :)

ITCHING for warmer weather!!!

We are sooo over the cold weather! Winter in Lewiston is awful! Not awfully cold, just awfully boring. There isn't much to do besides stay inside and watch TV. Lately the weather has been getting up into the 50s and for us you woulda thought it broke 100! We are excited to go camping this summer with all our new camping stuff we got for Christmas! So many great places up here close by that would be gorgeous to spend overnight at! We spent last weekend outside doing fun recreational stuff and walks. It was great! So nice to get outside and have hope that there IS warmer weather coming :)

Wow we made it to February! The year is flyin by already! Nothing too exciting at the Martitz house :) Just the usual update about our boring lives! The biggest piece of news is DRUMROLL..... We finally have our house decorated and things hung on the walls!!! Exciting huh?! lol It has been a challenge to get things up and situated even though we have been living here since July. Working full time doesn't help! Decorating was pretty much the last priority on my list, but it is done! Love how it all turned out and can't wait to keep getting more up :) That's code for It's ok for you to come visit us now :)

The flu crap has been goin around here too and got both of us at different times! Jordan had it most recently and powered through it like a champ! He was pretty sick, but went to work barely being able to stand. Poor guy! He came home and crashed on the couch and was OUT! So happy we are both feeling better :)

We are both busy with work as usual but sneak away to have some fun occasionally ;) Jordan is loving his PS3 that he got for christmas! He can play with his best friends from California and talk to them with his bluetooth :) It's hilarious to watch them play with random yells and screams at each other lol It gets intense sometimes! Caught him in action the other night with this shot :)

I  try to stay sane on my day off working on photography and graphic design stuff. LOVE days off :) Can't wait to be able to start doing sessions again when the weather warms up! I have bough several new props that I am dying to try out :) I have a newborn session coming up and I am so excited!!

We are trying to hold out for our big California trip! We are down to a little over a month! It has been exciting making plans with some of Jordan's friends while we are there and getting tickets for Disneyland with my family :) It will be one heck of a trip that is for sure! Flights are booked and we can't wait to go :)

As usual we are still playing volleyball a few nights a week and staying pretty busy :) Hopefully I will have more exciting things and stories to tell next time :) Until then, Happy February!
