Expanding My Comfort Zone

I've seen a bunch of people wearing belts over sweaters lately.  While I think it looks cute, I'm not sure it is something that I can necessarily pull off.  I decided to give it a try though and was really liking this particular outfit.  Not sure it's something I'll routinely do, but at least I've expanded my wardrobe comfort zone just a bit.  :)

A Good Sunday Evening

What qualifies as a good Sunday evening in your mind?

For me, evenings like this are perfect.  Chai tea, sweats, snuggling with my hunny and watching a good movie.  Tonight's movie is "Courageous" and it was a good one!

Sick

I've had a relatively healthy winter, but seem to have caught something over the weekend.  It's funny because we just went to the annual Pittsburgh car show on Saturday and I wasn't feeling well that evening.  By Sunday, I felt miserable.  Lucky for me, I already had Monday off since it was a holiday.  Too bad I spent it sick on the couch.  Today I'm feeling a little better and should be back to work tomorrow.  Maybe it's a reaction to the car show and I have to stop going? haha :)

Car Show

Each year in February, we go to the Pittsburgh car show.  It usually falls around Valentine's Day and is part of my gift each year to Peter.  He loves it!  I'd even venture to say it's one of his favorite dates each year haha.  I honestly don't mind it, but don't get into it nearly like he does.  I could go and be done in an hour or so.  Peter could stay all day.  So we compromise and are there for a few hours.  We make a fun day and have lunch/dinner out and enjoy the whole day together.  This year, we even test drove a 2 cars.  Hyundai was offering $5 Starbucks gift cards to each person who drove/rode in the car.  Peter drove.  We were waiting for the Genesis and test drove the Equus in the meantime.  They are the top 2 premium cars that Hyundai offers.  The Equus was riiiidiculous with a fridge in the back between the two seats, built in massagers and window tints, and the capability to control more than half the car from the back passenger seat where I was.  The Genesis was a little more realistic haha.  Both were quite nice though!  Too expensive for us and we weren't seriously considering either one.  True be told - I was in it for the Starbucks gift card.  :)

Some sort of BMW haha :)

One of Peter's favorite cars ever.  

Look how happy he is! :)

Only in Pittsburgh...

Date Night!

Peter was going to take me to see "The Vow" for my birthday, but it wasn't in theaters yet.  So we had a delayed birthday date tonight.

We decided to eat first at Bravo around 3 and then see an earlier showing because we new things would get crowded later with it being the Saturday before Valentine's Day.  We had a delicious dinner.  I had Pasta Bravo with the sauce on the side since I don't like tons of sauce on my pasta.  Peter had Eggplant Parmesan.  We decided against dessert since I wanted to get some delicious movie theater popcorn.  

"The Vow" was a great movie.  I didn't realize it, but it was inspired by a true story.  When we came out of the theater, it was snowing and beautiful out.  We were at the Waterfront so they had all the Christmas lights on around the square.  We decided to walk over to Starbucks and grab some hot beverages.  The movie provoked great conversation about life, love, and marriage on the way home.  

We ended up stopping to help someone who ran out of gas on the way home.  Peter saw the car pulled over and helped them.  The man was grateful because he had a young son in the back of his car and didn't know what to do.  He didn't want to leave his son on the side of the busy road with it being dark and the roads bad from the snow.  He also wasn't able to walk to the gas station with his son.  So Peter walked up to the gas station, filled up the small can, and walked it back to the man's car.  This enabled the man to be able to make it up the hill to the gas station.  My husband has a big heart for helping people like this.  :)  

When we got home, it was about 8 and we continued a lovely evening at home.  I love date nights with my man!
