valentine's day eve

Happy Valentine's Day Eve/Friday the 13th! Whether you're celebrating relationships or scary movies today, I hope your weekend is full of love.

Here in Arizona it's already starting to warm up and feel like springtime, so I thought it was fitting to give my blog a little facelift! I always try to use my own photographs for my blog backgrounds, to keep it personal and avoid stealing anyone's photos. In the floral spirit, I went back through my photo archives to almost a year ago (how is that possible!?) to our last springtime in Lynchburg, VA. We took these photos as a way to cherish our little apartment there, when our magnificent tree was blossoming with its delicate pink blooms. They usually only lasted for a week or so, but then we got to enjoy a pink-splattered parking lot of petals. I'm a big fan of the way the blog turned out, thanks to some very happy captured memories. 

We have a pretty laid back Valentine's weekend planned, including going to see Kingsman: The Secret Service (#colinfirthforever) and going to a fun, late night Valentine's Day dinner tomorrow at a new restaurant. 

We will dress up, hold hands, and be merry!
