This little life of mine: xoxo or lack there of

Hi bloggy friends!
I hope you all have had a wonderful couple of days! I am a little late on the whole Valentines day post...i was really unsure if I wanted to even post one because my day was highly uneventful....but i decided too anyways! So here we go!

Ever since phillip has been in the military...and the whole time we have been together, we have yet to share a Valentines day with one another. This has been the 3rd year that we have had to deal with this whole forced separation thing(thanks army)..which pretty much stinks. So when valentines day rolls around, our day usually ends up looking quite different than other "lovers" do on this oh so wonderful holiday...usually the whole day is filled with constant reminders that one of us (phillip) is at war...and each of us are missing each other like crazy. BUTTTTT even though valentines day is usually really difficult, we try to make the most of it and make it a special time for the both of us. I didn't want to sit around and mope this year so i tried to stay busy and occupy myself the only way i know how...lots of coffee and shopping!!
I woke up and started my day with a heavily cup of coffee courtesy of my french press, thank you jesus for coffee. As I headed back towards my room i saw that my mom had left me a box of sees candy and a starbucks gift card. YAY for really sweet mom's who totally know their way to their daughters heart! That started off my morning wonderfully and i decided that i wasn't going to screw that up by just sitting around all day doing nothing...so i decided to drive to the mall and tj maxx and hit up all my other favorite joints . on my way out of town i stopped by starbucks with my handy dandy gift card and got myself some more coffee...this time it was iced so thats how i justified my coffee addicted...and it was valentines day so who cares right?
when you live in a little town it takes basically 30 min to get anywhere interesting so i had lots of time to rock out in my car , which is also a favorite past time of mine. trust me if you were riding with me you would have sworn you were in the car with Adele mixed with whitney houston (RIP). My driving/singing finally brought me to Target where i walked around for a good hour and walked out with nothing. I then went next door to TJmaxx in search of my perfect solo valentines day outfit...and ended up finding way more than my little wallet could afford. I ended up walking out with 2 shirts, and a maxi skirt that i have been eyeing for quite some time. yay me. my valentines day 2012 was looking up.
once i got home i was greeted with a lovely box that i suspected contained flowers from my sweet boyfriend. I opened my box and sure enough it was a beautiful arraignment of pink roses and plum calla lilies. loved it. Also i was spoiled with a Large gift certificate to treat myself at the day spa....AHH this boy also knows the way to my heart. smart guy!!
To polish the day off ...me and one of my favorite Gals, Taylor, went and got coffee...( i know i have a problem) ...ate dinner...and then layed in bed and watched episodes of Modern family! Oh and i got to talk to my boy on the phone which was wonderful and always a treat in itself! Although my day was spent without a boy or valentines day plans..it ended up being a really great day. I'm thankful for being with someone who makes me feel so loved even from thousands of miles away...and I'm thankful for friends who waste their valentines day with me being silly and also enjoy adding to my coffee addiction haha. Hope each and every one of you had a great day as well... even if you didn't have a special someone to spend it with!!
