Our 2 Year Anniversary ♥

Today was D and me's 2 year anni.  I think he might had forgot at first, although he won't admit it...lol.  I forgot to take pics of my prezzie to him...but it was a really nice and legit Golf Pro polo with that whole moisture wicking fabric, in a dark navy color with a UNC Tarheel emblem, (he is a die-hard Carolina fan).  I remember him saying he really wanted one a while back...I never thought he'd wear something so "polo" and profesh looking like for a nice prep sport, but was happy to hear it nonetheless.  I think he really loved it, as he needed some nicer things in his wardrobe, and he wants to start taking up golf with his dad on the weekends off.  :)  My present consisted of a typical funny card from my boyfriend, with a promise to take me to the mall and let me get whatever I wanted.  I decided to get a Pandora charm, because it has been a little while since I've gotten a new one, and I wanted to mark this anniversary specifically with a charm I could remember forever.  Here's the pictures:

 A Bailey's bag is ALWAYS a good thing!  ;)

 

 I got the Teddy Bear charm.  :)  I kind of think of D as my cuddly teddy bear...and it's something of a symbol that makes sense for a boyfriend to get his girlfriend.  It's funny, I never thought I'd end up with this charm...and yet I find it all too perfect to add to my collection.  It's a really sweet charm, and means a lot to me.  

 Backside of Teddy...he has a widdle tail!! 

 Cuteness.

 My card from D...lol. 

<3

My card to him.

 This card really does describe him perfectly.  <3

So that concludes our 2 year anniversary...we had a wonderful dinner at Olive Garden and I'm inserting a picture of my amaZing Tiramisu!  Thank you baby for a wonderful anniversary dinner, and I know you already know this, but I love you with all of my heart and am thankful for you every single day of my life.  I look forward to seeing what the future brings for both of us.  XO

 Spring time skivvies...I know, but I placed them so you only see the fabrics...they were too pretty not to share!

 Cinna-MINTS!  And after they're all gone...a cute pill case!

 Pinks, lace, and hearts...a girl is in heaven!

 Had to exchange this Medium for a Large, because it's too tight in my boobs (who'd a thought I'd EVER say that?!)...also got one in pink, will post when they come in from the ship!  ;)

 Perrrfect for St. Patty's...a splash of green...even though it's over!  Got this idea from...http://secondstreeteast.blogspot.com/2012/03/outfit-to-room_19.html#disqus_thread...go check her out!  She's got STYLE!!

 Got this FREE from Kohl's with my Kohl's Cash!!!  Loving this store lately!

 Returned these, but what do you guys think of the Dukan Diet?  Honestly, I don't feel like I need a "diet" or a book to help me back into shape!  The cute Paris book...also features a bit about Louis Vuitton, which is why I bought it, was ALL about sweets!  I HAD to return it, I started to feel cellulite forming after each turn of a page...it wasn't something I needed right now, and I'm NOT a sweets person lol!

 Salmon, low fat cottage cheese topping, and a mix of veggies and 'taters!  :)  This country girl...(ew, I NEVER refer to myself as such) is one happy 'gal!

OMG...I die for this Betty Crocker delight!  XO
