Date Day and New Bathrooms!!

Long time no update! As you can see from the last post- I had a really bad week. I was so sick! My throat is still raw this morning, but I feel a little less like death every day. (*so being sick and having to work means that nothing worth posting happened. I promise you didn't miss anything but wallering and nose blowing)

I have every other Friday off. Yesterday happened to be a Friday that I had off. So Matt surprised me and took yesterday off too so we could have a day together! (isn't he sweet?) We had a really rough start to the morning, as the Jetta check engine light kept coming on as we tried to leave Edwardsville, but finally at about noon we made our escape from the city limits and headed to the mall.

I got Matt a new pair of sunglasses for Valentines day and he went to pick them out. He ended up with a pretty snaz pair if I do say so myself! Then, on kind of a whim, we went to 2nd Wind Exercise equiment store. I have wanted a weight set for awhile now, especially since my gym membership is now officially over. I found a super duper awesome one on sale and bought it. We don't know when we are going to pick it up or how we are going to get it into the basement- but we got the Hoist V Express. (Feel free to google and be jealous!)

Matt and I have also talked about his bathrooms and how they really need a clean start. We had stopped at Macys at the mall earlier that day and looked at bathroom make over things. We decided since we had time before "surprise dinner" to stop by Bed Bath and Beyond. We were DELIGHTED to find that Amy Butler has a line there! AND its ADORABLE! 

Here is our guest Bathroom before. It had my old shower curting but was just too blue. We needed to brighten it up and break up the blue. (Thats Scully- isn't she precious?)

After! Please ignore the tape on the floor we need to get it up. It held the old rug in place.

Master bathroom Before- beige and blue and again- not very bright or exciting

Master bathroom after!! 

Matt says Success!! : ) Notice all our vitamins in the background? Yes Mom I take my vitamins! : ) 

We ended our mega shopping day with a surprise dinner at Portebellos in Clayton. This is where Matt and I had our first date! We hadn't been back there since, and Matt made reservations for our Valentines day dinner. It was WONDERFUL! From the bread to the meal to the dessert, everything was awesome! It was so sweet of him! I think we need to eat there more often because it was excellent! 

Now today I have to wash all our new towels, and Matt and I are DETERMINED to finish the basement closet. All puddying is done- we just have to sand one more time and paint today!
