The beginning of the month was my birthday and James did a fantastic job of making it special. This isn't always easy as I come from a family where birthdays (heck any holiday) is a major celebration!!
He had an idea of what he wanted to get me for a gift and was trying to figure out if he could surprise me or not. He decided that the timing would be a bit difficult to pull off. So a few days before my birthday he suggested that we go to Ikea and he got me the desk I had been looking at for months!
Living in an apartment with limited space means that any time I wanted to do any "office" type work it happened on the couch or the dining table. Neither of which are great to be able to be organized or ultra productive.
Since we have had the desk a month, I can tell you I really love having it!!! It is still in need of some serious organizational system but it will get there, baby steps!
I have had the shelves that are over the desk for months and months, and it was so fun to finally find the perfect spot for them above the desk!
Shortly after the birthday celebration was Valentine's Day. I really hadn't expected to do much in way of celebrating as I had gotten a Valentine's gift early (I will give full details about that hopefully soon). However, I arrived home late on Valentine's Day (as I was teaching at the University) and was completely shocked to walk in the door to candles, music, wine, beautiful flowers and a bracelet! Talk about knock-my-socks off surprised!
February also brought an exciting new creative venture that I am exploring with one of my BFFs. I will share more details on that as soon as I can!
I hope the month was full of love and celebrations for all of you too!!
