Weekend Wrap-up

This past weekend, my boyfriend and I celebrated my birthday (which was Tuesday) and Valentine’s Day (which was Thursday). Since we do the whole long-distance thing, we couldn’t celebrate these days during the work week. We had a great time exchanging gifts, going out to a nice dinner, and relaxing. Here are a few snapshots.

The gift I made for James for Valentine’s Day. It’s a broquet instead of a bouquet. Flowers for men doesn’t make sense, so instead I used liquor, junk food and gift cards!
