Valentines

Valentines just so happens to be my favorite day of the whole year. Not because i'm taken, or because I look forward to being lavishly spoiled with chocolate and roses (which was not the case this year), and I've never been the kind of girl who craves expensive jewelry, it's just not my style. Maybe I love the day because it's all about love and I am so lucky to have an army of friends and family who I love whole heartedly, it just makes me get right into the lovey spirit of the occasion. Then there's the whole lust part, but again i'll leave that part a mystery;) Anywho, so knowing Valentines was on it's way, a few weeks ago I made arrangements for a little surprise for my Mister. Boudoir photos. I had to pull some strings (to say the least) including sneaking to the next town to go lingerie shopping un-suspiciously, go to the session, take the money out of our joint bank account without it being noticed, then get down to my bra and panties in front of a complete stranger. It all went off without a hinge and honestly was an awesome experience. I went to a local photographer Lauren Brooke, whom my bestie (another local photographer whose on leave right now, Lana Hamilton) recommended. Lauren was awesome, super friendly and super comfortable, I didn't feel awkward for a second, and she was really good at posing me, which I feel is super important because a lot of the poses feel pretty weird and you feel like you look stupid even though you look hot. When I got the disc back I was sooooo excited. I'm still high on what a babe I am, I seriously recommend all ladies to just go for it and get sexy photos done, it is such a confidence boost (not that I really needed it) but it's an awesome experience, plus one day when you're old you'll be able to look back on your sexy younger self. :)

Heres just a little peek of Laurens fabulous work;)



Kirk worked all day on Valentines, so I got up early to give him the album of photos as a surprise before work, got in my cardi-oohhh, got dolled up and took my daughter to school and dropped my toher daughter off with my sister so I could clean while day drinking red wine, eating dark chocolate while listening to sexy music to feel Valentinesy. He didn't get home until late so we had a quick supper together and he had to go to bed (he worked again at 3am) so that kind of sucked but it's what you make of it so I still had a pretty good day. :) I cooked roasted oregano/basil potatoes, steak with sauteed mushrooms, and greek salad. It was so good!
