Lightweight Eats

I'm sure you've heard this before, but I'm not really into celebrating Valentine's Day. In fact, I'm not huge into holidays in general. I've picked a life where I love every day; even the bad ones have great, incredible amazing pieces.

So while I enjoy a special treat now and again, just having the opportunity to live my life with Dan is enough for me. To celebrate this Valentine's Day, we have both committed some time to making our house a home--something we can enjoy every day.

When we moved in, we were super ambitious. We got all sorts of decorations, and had ideas for all of our rooms.

We've made a lot of progress: the living room is mostly complete. (Just waiting on a few large prints of Dan's photos that have been re-routed to a gallery showing.. I think it's worth the wait.) Our bedroom is also close but waiting on a photo, and needs a mirror hung.

But let's not even get started on the kitchen, the office or the dining room. We do have some financial restrictions--we've budgeted a certain amount to home decorations and want to stick to that budget. But we also have a lot of decorations just sitting in the dining room waiting to go up on walls. Now that we have all of the tools we need, it's time to do some hanging!

Of course, I also plan to tell Dan I love him a few extra times today (if that's possible), and I might buy myself a nice bar of chocolate. But no plans for special dinners out, or huge extravaganzas. [As far as I know.]
