Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I hope everyone has had a great day full of love!!!

Even though I'm single and spent most of the day studying/in class, I still LOVE Valentines day!  I don't know why...I'm not a big fan of spending money on expensive flowers or candy but it's just fun to get (and give) sweet reminders about how much you are loved!  And I'm one lucky girl because I feel very loved!

My mom sent me a sweet card (even with some cash in it)...I absolutely love getting cards/letters...There is nothing more personal than a hand written note!  Since being in NYC, my family and friends have been so sweet sending letters and cards saying how much they miss me! It's just so much more personal than a text or an email! So my mom's card really meant a lot!

My dad sent me chocolate covered strawberries!!! I thought I loved getting flowers, but I must say...these were better than flowers!! And I don't feel guilty eating a few of them in one day because the package said they are best if eaten within 48 hours...so that means I have to eat more than one or two...right? Although I did share them with my roommates!! Yumm!!! 

But...The best surprise came from my Valentine/ Soulmate, Lizzy!  I've mentioned this wonderful person before but in case you don't know... Lizzy was my roommate in college for 3 years and we became soooo close! She is my best friend and I miss her soo much!! Anyways... Yesterday, I received a package containing all these goodies...

As you can see... it contained a notebook that says "You're The Sprinkles on my Donut" (We have a little inside joke about sprinkles)... some homemade tie-die, heart-shaped crayons (which I'm pretty sure she got off Pinterest) because she knows I LOVE to color, some sushi themed erasers because we can't go on our frequent sushi dates anymore, and my favorite... the paper hands showing how much she loves and misses me!!! She is sooo creative!!

I hope all of you had a wonderful Valentines as well!!! 

Did you get anything fun or creative??

P.S.- Prayers go out to Anna from Adventures of a A-Type as she is in Jamaica on a medical mission trip!! You Go Girl! Good Luck!!
