A very 'Pinterest-ing' Valentines Day!

Ok, worst title EVER. I'll admit it. But you know what wasn't the worst ever? This Valentines Day! Haha. I am so lucky ot have a Valentine that cares if I have a good V-day or not, even though he's not a huge fan. Awwww!
Since I had to work Thursday night, we didn't get to hang out on the actual day, so before work I took some flowers to my mom at work, and we went to lunch.

 Lame picture I took in the car on the way up. I didn't get any pics of us at lunch, but I was glad I went, since I found out she had had a rough couple days before and was down. :( Plus, everyone likes to get flowers at work, right?? I love her.
So, I took Saturday off to hang out with Gabriel. I spent the morning with my lovely roomie wandering around TaiPan trading. We wandered a little too much, though, and I was late for my plans with G. Whoops! Good thing hes so laid back, he just chilled on my couch while I got ready, haha. When he got to my house, we exchanged gifts. I got him a board game I have heard a lot of good things about and wanted to try. Which I wrapped in the hallway about 30 seconds before he got to my house. Haha.

 He is a much better gift-getter.

  The earrings are Tahitian pearls from Shane Co, my fave jewelry store (Holla for cruelty-free diamonds, y'all! Ha)
Here's the story with the monkey. We watched this documentary a while ago with the cutest monkeys everrrrr from Brazil. So, he once said, 'Next time I go to Brazil, do you want me to bring you back one of those? What would you name it?' and I told him I would name him Hank and he would be my roommates dog's bestie and I would make him shirts with an H on them. For Hank. Sooooooo he ordered a stuffed monkey just like the ones on the show, and had his mom make a little shirt

with an H on it. Adorable. :)
Anyways. We went to a movie (Warm Bodies. It was cute. Gabriel did not love it.) then to Teppanyakki for dinner. Then we went back to my house for dessert (sorry if these pics are huge)

and tiny heart shaped cherry pies! (Also from Pinterest!)

Yeah. I'm lame. I know. But he liked it and really, thats all that matters! Haha.
I'm glad that I got to spend my holiday with people that I care about the most! I sure am one lucky chica.
