Valentine's Day in the Thorsen House 2014

Hello my amazing readers. I thought I would share with you all how we celebrated our first married Valentine's Day. We both worked a full shift at our works then came home and had a relaxing dinner and watched a movie and cuddled on the couch. It was so relaxing and romantic and couldn't have asked for a more wonderful first married Valentine's Day with my husband. 

 I made a homemade card for Aaron and he got me a small box of chocolate and red roses. We got to use our wedding china for the first time and drank the last bottle of wine from our wedding as well. 

 He is so cute!! Love him!! Below is our wonderful steak dinner we made together with my beautiful red roses in the background that Aaron got me. We had a wonderful steak that my husband marinated overnight with garlic green beans and a baked potato. 

 Later we had champagne with some homemade hand-dipped (by me :-)) strawberries. 

Can't forget Charlie, he got a little steak and olive oil on his food as a treat for Valentine's Day because we love him so much. Hope your Valentine's Day was wonderful. Loves. 

Verse of the Week

Hello my faithful readers. I hope you are enjoying the verse of the week series I started this year. This weeks verse is Proverbs 1:7 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline." I believe if you don't fear the Lord you will have a problem down the road. The Lord is not scary, he is actually very comforting but if you do go against him then there will be consequences. I fear the Lord but in a good way. I know he will always be there and provide for me and my family if I just believe in him and follow him. Loves.

DIY - Vinyl Letters

Hello my wonderful readers. I thought I would share my experience of putting some vinyl letters on a mirror with you. These vinyl letters are from lacybella.com, we got them for a wedding present. I absolutely love them, they were one of my favorite wedding gifts. We decided to put this decal on a mirror instead of the wall so whenever we move we can always take it with us. The mirror is special as well because it was in Aaron's grandfather's barber shop a long time ago. 

It was so very easy to put it on. You just peeled off the backing, place it where you want and then rub where ever there is letters with a drivers license or card. 

 Then you just peel off the from part and get this beautiful creation.

 I love how beautiful it turned out. :-) Hope you enjoy me sharing my experience doing this with you. Loves.
