I have been MIA again. Let me tell you new followers, I tend to do this thing where I get super overwhelmed with work and just life in general that I "forget" to post. I don't forget forget to post I just don't think anything in my life is worth posting about right now or I just haven't had the patience or time to. So here we go, the crazy things and blessed things going on in the life of me.
Lets start on Valentine's Day.
Lets start on Valentine's Day.
Man oh man, this is not My Guy and I's holiday. Let me explain, last year we were broken up on this lovely holiday and it just was a complete disaster. Two years ago, he moved to Tampa 2 days before this lovely holiday. All the other ones obviously weren't that great since I can't remember them. This year, I woke up early and got dressed for work making sure that I put extra time into getting ready since I would pick him up at the airport right after work and we would have our whole evening planned.
For Valentine's Day, my lovely man got me a much needed Starbucks mug, beautiful red roses and my favorite wine that I didn't think could be found anywhere! I found this wine at one of my favorite restaurants and at that restaurant they only have it from the barrel not the bottle. So this girl is super happy to have 2 bottles of this sitting at her house! Romanian Christenings are almost like weddings, I am not joking...centerpieces and all! Women wear beautiful dresses and men are expected to be in suits.
I was all ready for the day and super excited to see him since it had been about 6 weeks since the last time we saw each other. And then my mood changed...his flight got canceled. He went to the airport in Tampa to see if he could get on a different flight to make it home sometime that day. Thankfully, he got one a different flight that went to PA instead of Charlotte (like the original flight). Then things turned south again, he made it to PA but then his flight to Cleveland got delayed. And when I say it got delayed, I mean it got delayed a lot! This is where I becoming extremely thankful for having amazing friends that are willing to be there for me when I need them most.
Ana was sweet enough to meet me at a local Harry Buffalo for drinks to wait out the delay. When we walked in to Harry Buffalo the hostess handed each of us a lovely flower. It was a nice gesture since it was Valentine's Day. Needless to say, Ana and I sat and enjoyed our drinks for about 2 hours. His flight was supposed to land in Cleveland at 8 PM and he didn't arrive till past 11 PM. Like I said, Valentine's Day isn't our holiday. Hoping next year will be better!
Saturday family day + Christening
Nothing better than taking funny pictures together when we are at such a formal event. Looking at these pictures just makes me miss this man even more.
how was your Valentine's Day?
do you experience over the top events like this too?
have you been MIA from blogging lately?
how do you get caught up on blogging when you're so far behind?
I feel like I have seen that wine at Whole Foods?? I know I've seen it somewhere- I'm not sure where!
ReplyDeleteGlad he finally made it and you guys had a good weekend!!
Really!?! I was searching for it online and i couldn't find it. I never venture to Whole Foods because it's so far from me :( but I heard they are building one in Rocky River (woo hoo)!
DeleteI hope next year is better, but that's awesome you got to see each other! I love your pink top!
ReplyDeletexo,
Angela
Girl, you and I both! Thanks, the top is from Express...i should probably put links to where things are from. It's about a year old so I'm not sure if you can find this exact one but they have have a similar color without the pocket stones.
DeleteGahhhh that sounds awful! But I'm glad he finally made it in, even if he was late!
ReplyDeleteI know! I was so nervous waiting for him at the airport because I didn't even know if he was on that flight since his phone died and we had no way of communication. I was definitely the happiest girl around when i saw him!
DeleteLove your dress and the pink top! We also have a Harry Buffalo bar in Orlando. The food is pretty good too.
ReplyDeleteThanks!! I love that dress too and it was a steal....I think it was 50$ at Dillard's.
DeleteOK, LOVE that dress! Chris and I had a long distance relationship for a bit and totally dealt with some crazy weather delays. You are very lucky to have a good friend who is available to you! The ONLY remedy sometimes, right? I'm curious about that wine! P.S. I tried following you on bloglovin but it linked to your former wordpress site. I would love to follow you on bloglovin! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!! These whole weather delays are such a pain but there's nothing we can do about them than just learn to deal with it. The wine is amazing, or at least I think so. Everyone else hated it because they all like sweet wines. That's so strange about bloglovin' and my former wordpress site. Here is the link to my bloglovin' http://www.bloglovin.com/boardingtogether
DeleteAs stinky as all that was I'm glad he made it :)
ReplyDeleteI know me too. Any time that we get to spend together is well worth it.
