Nearly a month?!

I am absolutely appalled at myself that I have not updated in nearly a month. There is really no reason for that. I want to become more regular in updating on here. The problem is that since this is a public forum, I find myself slightly filtering myself in order to protect a few things in myself from being entirely too public.

However, I can fill you in on the goings on lately!

The whole decision I made to give up on pastry school for now? Yeah. Not realistic in any sense. There was no way I can sit in some office for the rest of my life. I love to bake so much... making that into a career is all I can see myself doing. I will get there somehow, I'm just not sure in what capacity yet.

My first Valentine's Day with a Valentine was absolutely amazing. I went to Steve's apartment and we exchanged gifts Friday night; mainly because I was way too horribly impatient to wait until our celebration the next night. So I gave him his gift that I had been working on for the two weeks prior. I made him a cake pop bouquet and filled the jar I put them in with construction paper hearts which each had something I love about him written on it. I made him a cute little card too; it was extra sappy, of course.
He got me an orchid plant and an absolutely gorgeous necklace!
The flowers are so beautiful!

He found it all on his own! I love it so much :)

He made this adorable card too ;)

Saturday night he made me dinner and we had a couple drinks and watched The Notebook.. such a romantic movie, and my all-time favorite. It was an absolutely fabulous weekend.. and I couldn't have been happier than to have spent it with my love. 

We were also celebrating our six month anniversary! I can't believe over six months have gone by already. It's been the best six months of my life, and I've literally never been happier. Steve is more than I could have ever hoped for in a man, and I am the luckiest girl in the world to be able to call him mine. 

In other news, I am officially now on a diet. I am tracking calories using an online food journal, one that has worked well for me in the past. I want to lose about 15 or so lbs. I'd like to tone up, too. By the time I turn 22 in June, hopefully. Yet again, I will use my birthday as a goal date. It worked last year! Let's do this!
