Day Five Hundred and Twenty-Two

The Early Valentine's Persetearence


Hold onto your pantalones...I went camera crazy yesterday. First, let me just say that I'm the luckiest girl. Instead of just one Valentine's Day, I got two! And I kicked it off with this little Pinterest project. 

*Disclaimer*
This was NOT just a little project. 
I cried uncontrollably for a solid 5 minutes. Like, the snotty, wheezing, coughing sob. Mascara everywhere. It was pathetic. Adam took me to the couch, wrapped me up in a blanket, and sat with me until I could breathe. I don't know how he manages me! If I were him, I woulda slapped me (ha!)! I just get so into my craft that when something doesn't go my way, I panic. And then comes the frustration and the tears. One of these days, I'll get myself under control. I need prayer. Please pray for me. Like, seriously. Adam's helped me so much with this issue, but my impatience and frustration tend to get the best of me and it's embarrassing. 
(I didn't know I was going to write all that...but hey, this is our life and we have nothing to hide)


Anyways...this is...wait for it...
CHEESECAKE!
Well, cheesecake batter, if we're being technical.


So many steps to this recipe!


My favorite part!


The finished product:
Sweetheart cheesecakes! SUCCESS!
(10 in total...there were 12 before the meltdown occurred)


And I made a bunch of little ones too!
(My favorite was the yellow one...I love you Grama!)

Click HERE for recipe! So, so creamy and perfect!


Our first Valentine's celebration at Bible Study! Sondra outdid herself this time. The whole dining room was decked out in everything love. She even bought each one of us a little present. And since I can't have sweets (although I did break Paleo last night), she gave me mini heart candles! Adam got a baseball cookie can! SO CUTE! We just adore her :)


Oh, and this is her ultra-cute 7-layer salad.

Adam's Valentine's present came a little early. I took the truck in yesterday for a little upgrade. 
TINTED WINDOWS!
Wahoo! Adam was so surprised and quite happy! Yay! I got wifey bonus points with this one :)


Yes, much better. Now nobody can creep in on us!

A good - very good - day...tears and all :)
And hopefully you noticed a little something new on the blog? I updated it a bit and I'm so excited! Ha!
