happy valentine's day

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!


I hope you have something special planned with someone you love.  I like Valentine's Day.  For no special reason, but I think it is nice to show your love (and I think gratitude comes naturally during Valentine's Day too) for people you care about.  It's sweet.
Something you don't often hear from a single gal.  (However, for those single gals out there who aren't so keen on Valentine's Day... give this a gander.)


I have a few different love themed things to share...


#1 This is a beautiful photography series by Lauren Fleishman Love Ever After. Literally, just beautiful in so many ways.  Check it out!


Little by little we age but we don't change in our hearts. Love gets stronger. That is the way I feel. I believe he feels the same way. Yes, he was my first love. My first love and my last.
—Leila Ramos, Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
#2 I got some Dove chocolates from a volunteer at work.  I love Dove chocolates almost solely because of their sayings inside.  Here are the ones I got:
Discover how much your heart can hold.
Remember your first crush.
Get swept away by love.
Go where your heart takes you.


#3 Here are a couple songs for you to enjoy








#4 What did I do for Valentine's Day.  
I made cards.
I made a cup of green tea, pulled out my craft bag, turned on pandora love station (yes, as I found out, it exists ;) ), and got to work
I love cards.  I think they are the most important part of any gift.  I'm not exaggerating at all.  I helped my cubemate come up with his Valentine's Day gift and I even told him the card is the most important part.  Maybe it's just me.  But that's what I think.
Usually I get made fun of for my homemade cards, but I don't care.


I didn't make these, but they are beyond cute and an awesome idea...

#5 I really hope you saw google's Valentine's Day thing.  It was adorable!

Fall Fun!

We could not have asked for better fall weather this weekend.  70 degrees.  Sunny.  We just wanted to be outside the entire time.   We went for runs and decided we needed to spend even more time appreciating the fall foliage, which apparently will peak in two weeks.  So two more weeks to enjoy!  We checked out a new to us restaurant.   Then we took a trip to Grant's Farm, which neither one of us had been to since we were kids.  And neither one of us remembered.  Capping off another day spent outside. Monday I hopped on my bike to get to work and my body felt tired from the fun of the weekend.  I looked out my window at my desk and saw so many beautiful leaves, I took a photo on the walk back to where I park my bike. P.S. Yes, I got a new job!  Hooray!  A more detailed update is coming.

26 miles in 26 days

So the title isn`t exactly correct, but I ran a marathon yesterday and it was Melissa & my`s one month being here. But Caro helped me come up with the title and I thought it was catchy. So marathon #2 and a completely different experience than the one I ran last year in Chicago. Lisa Rottler Chamberlin is the name I ran the race with...I tried to sign up as Lisa Rottler, but it forced me to enter mom`s maiden name or i couldn`t continue with registration. the first difference I experienced this marathon in a very different way. In Chicago I was competitive I would say. It was on my mind since February of last year when I signed up. I was didigent about training and very serious about it. This year I signed up like 3 weeks ago and it was very last minute. Although, I ran like I was training for the marathon this summer in Chicago-that was 2 months ago. Last year the weekend of the marathon I rested. This year Friday night I went to my first quinceanera and got home at 4 a...

Fall Photos

After admiring the leaves on our runs and my bike to work, we recruited my parents to take some photos of us there this weekend.   After these photos (and tackling some IT issues for my parents) we went to a birthday gathering at the jazz festival on Cherokee Street.  I liked it more than I thought I would. As the night wore on, I started chatting with one of the friend of a friend's there.  I started going in to what a crazy year and some change it's been and, whew, it really started to overwhelm me.   This morning, Mike woke up overwhelmed by our world/specifically our country.  I woke up with that conversation still in my head and also felt overwhelmed.  We treated ourselves to Sump Coffee and had a chat.  It's not always we sit down and talk about what we want and steps to get there. Fall feels like the perfect time to reset.  As we went through the day I also thought, it's okay to miss things in the past, but it woul...
