Today was a very special day for me for a few reasons. Most importantly, today Cameron and I have been officially dating for two years!! (I say officially because we were pretty much together in July, but I made him wait a month and a half before he could ask me out!) We always like to do a little something for each other on this day, and this year I got the best gift EVER.
This summer I spent some time searching for a bookcase because my book collection/teacher supplies was beginning to multiply and I had no space for them all (the bright pink laundry basket just wasn't cutting it anymore). I looked around at Wal Mart and Target and found a few I liked, but none that really hit the spot. Finally, Cameron suggested he build me a bookcase for our anniversary. He said this would be a better option because then I could "custom make it" in a sense and have it be exactly what I wanted.
He worked long and hard during my recruitment week getting this bookshelf just perfect. I knew he was spending tons of hours on it, but he wouldn't let me see a sneak peek at all so I was anxiously waiting for today to roll around so I could see the finished product! And here it is....
See...isn't it just gorgeous!! I could rant and rave about it forever but I won't bore you, but I was excited to say the least! He even wrote a cute little note on the bottom of it and signed our anniversary date so I could always remember when it was made. Ahh, I'm just the luckiest girl ever to have a man that is sentimental AND good at constructing things!
I made him 52 Reasons I Appreciated Him (got the idea off of a blog thank you very much!) but unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the final product, but it did look good! I also made him some magnets for his fridge and got him the Office Season 4 because we are avid watchers!
We decided to got to the ever famous Houlihans for drinks and dessert to celebrate!!
He got a Blue Moon. Gross to me, but he thought it was delicious!
I, on the other hand, got a glass of wine! :)
We ordered the chocolate fondue and graham cracker S'mores and it was DELICIOUS!
Then this morning, these beautiful things showed up!
They are gorgeous and have all my favorite colors in them, so they are now adding life and decoration to our kitchen table!
This is the one picture we snapped the WHOLE night. Oh well, he is precious and I love him! Happy 2 years Cam!!
On a lesser note, today was the last-first day of school as a student I will ever have, so of course us future teachers of America had to snap a quick pic before heading off to class!
I can't believe we are nearing the end of our college career!! Scary, but I will leave that post for a different night!
I hope you all have a great first week of school, and don't get toooo stressed out just yet!
Until then,
Brittany
