</div>but you are missing out on knowing an amazingly smart and funny man. I credit Stuart for my respect of quality film and movies, my understanding of all the marvel comic characters and why I know more about super heroes, star trek, and star wars than my husband does. He taught me to appreciate good humor...timing, delivery, sarcasm, and dry wit. Stuart is brilliant and a talented writer. He is an amazing father to two of the sweetest little boys there ever will be!<br />

If you haven't had Papa Murphy's (which I hadn't until Tuesday night, I suggest you find a time to try it out. delish). We got one of the "heart" shaped pizza...obviously it's a loose definition of "heart" ...but still tasty!<br />

Josh did so good on my little valentine's gifts! Here's yet another example of how <a href="http://pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> is a wonderful thing. Ladies, if your friends and family don't know that you are on pinterest pinning away all these things that you think are lovely TELL THEM! The best thing I ever did was show Josh <a href="http://pinterest.com/emdrake/">my pinterest boards</a>. Christmas was great...and Valentine's as well :) He saw that I pinned some <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=20101796&catId=HOME-KITCHEN&pushId=HOME-KITCHEN&popId=HOME&navCount=140&color=095&isProduct=true&fromCategoryPage=true&isSubcategory=true&subCategoryId=HOME-KITCHEN-GADGETS">measuring cups from Anthropologie</a>, so low and behold...that's what I got!<br />

I LOVE it! it's the colors I am hoping to one do use in our kitchen...like a teal-y/turquoise-y blue and a bright orange-y red! so fun! I am continually rearranging our built-in's in the kitchen and think they make a great home on the shelves!<br />

I was really excited about what I gave Josh...and hopefully it will start to be a tradition for many years. I had seen on <a href="http://www.younghouselove.com/">a blog I read</a> where they made <a href="http://www.younghouselove.com/2012/01/yearbook-pictures/">"year books" for their family</a>...just a place to keep all memories for one year in nice and orderly fashion. I think I've said how odd I think it is I'm not a very good scrapbooker...but I'm not. And now that I work with so many digital pictures and files all day, this seemed to be a really good fit. So, I headed over to <a href="http://www.mypublisher.com/">My Publisher</a> and went to work. <br />
<br />
And here you have the final product. 100 pages of our first year of life together! <br />

I'm wearing red pants in honor of the fun and love-filled day. red pants? I know I know...how am I not a teacher?!?! truth is I bought them years ago and they happen to fit again! (woo hoo! making progress on at least 1 of my items on the <a href="http://www.emilylamkin.blogspot.com/2011/09/in-year-from-now.html">"do before I turn 30 list").</a><br />
<br />
My sweet husband started our first married valentine's day off with a classic little number...<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">yep, red roses. can't go wrong. classy, timeless, traditional ...love them, and him!</div><br />
I found these heart "ornaments" in the 70% off christmas sale section in Target back in January. Score for valentine's decorations. They were normal $1...and 3 for $1 then 70%...you do the math. I was able to get a lot for just $3. so our mantle is fully ornamented with cute little hearts.<br />

Speaking of classy...timeless...that's how we roll, you know...so of course tonight we are getting a heart-shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's. If that isn't the traditional dress up go out on the town fancy kind of Valentine's Day meal then I don't know what is!

For the past 8 months I've been going on blind dates. I've been on more than 60 during this time. That averages out to more than 1 a week. Some have been promising. I've even been on second dates with about 15 or so of them...one guy we had 4 dates!!!! but it just never works out. It's a little frustrating you know...wondering if I'm ever going to find "the one."<br />

</div>I'm so clever, right? Our house has been on the market for 8 months now. It is funny to me how personally I take it when someone doesn't like my house. It really is like dating...except I never meet these people. We've had more than 60 showings. It's kind of creepy to think about all those people going through our house. The probability alone of that many showings would lead you to think we'd at least have had an offer on the house let alone someone to buy it...but no, we haven't. Poor little house, just keeps getting rejected over and over again. Do you want to buy it?!?!<br />
<br />
We are going to take it off the market for a bit....just for our sanity. While having your house on the market the first year you are married teaches you wonderful habits like always cleaning up after dinner and doing the dishes, hanging up all your clothes after you fold them, making your bed everyday, etc. It also takes it's toll. I haven't really decorated or added personal touches to the house since May. No wedding pictures are hung, no moving the furniture around or adding fun nick nacks to the mantle. Most my craft stuff was moved out of the house to clear out some clutter so I'm not doing as many fun projects. <br />
<br />
We just kind of need a break. So that's what we are doing...UNLESS you want to buy our house! We'll list it just for you :) I'm looking forward to February (which is crazy that next week is february of 2012) and freshening up my house and actually living in our home. Hopefully new fun projects will be coming soon! Stay tuned.emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11114972349950945783noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097593069732567260.post-61298569942762978822012-01-09T06:55:00.000-08:002012-01-09T06:55:41.251-08:00new year's rockin' evedoes anyone know what I was doing last new years eve? I couldn't tell you. I looked back at facebook and the blog...no help. this is why i need to be a better journal-er. I take pride is remembering details and knowing what i was doing a year ago. well...I have no idea on this one. BUT here's what I was up to this new year's eve...<br />
<br />
we had a low key night...lots of fun...but nice and low key. New Year's Eve is hard. Do you have people over? does that mean they have to stay for 10 hours? do you have it early? do you have a late party? Well...we opted to just eat dinner with friends and come back and eat treats, get in to a few shenanigans, and then count down to the new year! Josh was fired up...literally...with some left over wedding sparklers!<br />

Lorie has been a great friend to have ever since I started dating Josh...she, like me, was not a Drake and was an outsider dating an insider. It's been great getting to know her and in a few short weeks we'll officially be family!<br />
Josh's sister knew how much Lorie loved Sweet Cece's (can you blame her? seriously...what's not to love about froyo?!) so she thought a cute little ice cream shower would be fun and fitting. I came up with a cute little invite and we were on way with shower plans.<br />

So...we settled with a pink pumpkin party theme. Thanks to <a href="http://pinterest.com/emdrake/pretty-pumpkin-party/">pinterest </a>we gathered some great ideas and put together this shindig. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">I started with first designing the perfect invitation for a pink pumpkin party:</div><br />

We started off spending some time in Yarmouth which was the town our bread and breakfast was in. Here is a picture of our lovely B&B (and yes...every time I say "B&B" I think of the potters...)<br />

<br />
Our last stop of the trip was to see the USS Constitution. I think we regretting saving this for the last day and the very last minutes of our trip b/c we would have loved to spend more time in the museum and on the boat. but, we loved getting to see what we did and it was a great end to our trip!<br />

We drove all up and down the Cape and stopped in some wonderful small towns. We also took a Cranberry Bog tour (which was the most amazing school field trips ever!!!) but it will get it's own blog post in a few days ... I know...you can hardly wait...<br />
<br />
We started the morning off at the very top hook of the Cape in Provincetown...it was lovely and cute and full of great shops. <br />

on the other side of the coast of Provincetown were some really lovely beaches. There are these huge hills of sand dunes for miles so you almost feel like you are in the desert and not the beach. It was really cool.<br />

It was WONDERFUL! I'd never been that far north and neither had Josh so we were excited. We stayed in a bed and breakfast on the cape and then took a day trip in to Boston one day.

In the afternoons the fishing boats come in to unload the fish and there are usually seals right behind the boat hanging out to catch some scraps.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This time I was bound to land closer to the first than the 2nd. I ran The Middle Half in Murfreesboro. I felt ok about my amount of training (still not as great as the first year i trained...but good enough). With my supportive husband along to cheer, I was ready to get the party started...<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I liked The Middle Half because the course is awesomely flat...unlike the Country Music one...but there aren't near as many people cheering along the course, so by the end I was really ready for it to be over. AND the police officers marking the turns along the course made a mistake at one turn so I actually ran about 13.6 miles, instead of 13.1. booyah!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">They did call out everyone's names as you cross the finish line which I think is really fun and makes your feel special. overall, it was a good morning.

They are both pretty awesome so Uncle Josh and I were excited to participate in some family fun with them. The big outing of the weekend was to <a href="http://www.cheekwood.org/">Cheekwood</a> to see their <a href="http://cheekwood.org/Gardens/TRAINS_Tennessee_in_G.aspx">Train Exhibit</a> (duh...Sean is 4...and LOVES Thomas, so trains were a must!) AND in October they have the <a href="http://cheekwood.org/Gardens/Scarecrows.aspx">Scarecrows</a> all over the garden. Here are some highlights from the day...<br />
