March 6th

Our 3rd anniversary has come and gone. I swear special days go by WAY too fast. Its like you blink, then BAM you have to patiently wait a year to celebrate that special day all over again.
We had an amazing celebration and I have a ton of pictures to show you. We actually started celebrating the day before. We went to Von Hanson's and bought giant pork chops! Mike cooked dinner while I decorated the bedroom. We wanted to go to a bed and breakfast, but it ended up being all booked so we made it special without going anywhere.

This was the wonderful dinner Mike made, he got me white roses, Which he used to propose.

We each wrote little love notes, I shoved them into balloons, taped them to the ceiling and voila! Each night before bed we read a love note. It's strangely exciting every time we pop a balloon and read the little treasure inside!
I dare you to do it, surprise someone you love, with a ceiling full of balloons. You can make it into a little game of truth or dare too, if you wanted!

The night before at about 10:40 we realized our heater wasn't working! It was freezing. We booked it to target, they close at 11 and bought a space heater. Our room stayed warm, cant really say that for the rest of the house.

Anyways, we went to Minneapolis and had lunch. This picture is St. Paul's skyline from where we came from... and a very dirty window. adds character, right?

Lip licking goodness, called The Melting Pot.

 We found out that the Parade of Homes is going on, so we decided to take a peeksee at some houses, to find that the parade of homes wasn't going on that day. But! the offices were open, and they had model homes :)

I want a house, and I NEED this staircase in it..

If only the pictures did this house more justice. It was a jaw dropping experience. *drool*

To top the day off we went and saw Jack the Giant Slayer. I would highly suggest the movie, it was so cute and funny at the same time.

I loved spending two complete days with my best friend without distractions.

p.s. The snow flakes were out of CONTROL! I wish you could see the individual snow flakes easier. we stood in the Walmart parking lot staring at the snow flakes on the trunk of our car for quite some time.
