& he loves my stank.

Well, at least he tells me he loves my stank! ;). 

& he knows me way too well!

& then this happens!!

We were talking about going to see Britney Spears in Vega$ for my birthday.. 

Next thing I know, these come in the mail!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Best early birthday present ever! I don't know what I'm more excited about--this concert or experiencing Vega$ with him. 

I have a feeling it's going to be one for the books!

The thing I love most: he is just as excited as me! 

I think he's a keeper! ;). 

& has it been six months already?

I can easily say these last six months have some of the best of my life. I'ts amazing you can love someone so much, and simply fall in love with them more every single day. 

For our six month anniversary we decided to go to the Cheesecake Factory, the same place we had out first date. 

It's funny how so much can change in just six little months:

From our first date where:

both of us were practically strangers..

how nervous we both were, we couldn't even focus on the menu..

how Dave giggled like a little school girl..

how we set across from each other and I could not hold still..

how it was the middle of the afternoon..

To now where:

We sat next to each other, hands never to ourselves...

How we could practically order for one another if we wanted to...

How comfortable and relaxed we both were... 

How we have only been dating 6 months but we seem to know almost anything and everything about each other..

Needless to say, it was perfection.

David is the most thoughtful person I've ever met. Even though we agreed on no gifts, he still got me these gorgeous roses and wrote me a beautiful love letter. 

We were hanging out at his house after, and decided since it was a special occasion, we deserved on of our favorite brews. [We're in the middle of "no beer for thirty days," but one won't hurt-- right? ;]

We walked over to one of our favorites: The Leprechaun! 

[Deja-vu.. Yes, that would be my phone charging from the ceiling.]

<3

& tag you're dead!!

David had this awesome idea to get all of our friends together and play laser tag!! 

Before I wanted to take him to dinner, so we decided to check out Whiskey Street since we haven't tried their food yet.
I think we both we're pretty impressed! 

^ cutest pic everrrrr. Smokin' hot! 

[jalepeno poppers?] 

After we headed to laser quest to meet up with the crew!! 

It was such a groovy turn out, and such a blast!!! [no pun intended ;]
That little turd even bought all 10 of us the first round!!!

We're missing a couple of people from this pic, but seriously! Our friends rock!

After we went and hung out at Jenny and Justin's house, since it's been forevs! 

Crazy night! 

The next morning, not only does David look all morning for my car key, he climbed through my trunk to get my purse.
Theeeeeeen he brings me a phone charger, popsicles, and a water bottle [@ work.]
Theeeeeeen he brings me takeout brunch from Porcupine Grill.

annnnnnnnd that little turd has to pick me up too.
Have I mentioned he is amazing?

Dave and Justin then went to band practice and I received this snapchat: 

The point of this picture is how freaking handsome he is. Gosh, I love him! 

& he makkka da pizzzza

My mom wanted to do calzones for dinner, David wanted to be in charge of rolling out the dough. 

Dang- that is skill! 

I'm kicking myself for not getting more/better pictures.. So I had to screen shot my own video. 

I think this was one of my favorite homemade dinners! He's all fancy and tops ours with cheese and herbs.

Drooooooooooool. 

& Valentines..

Just wow. A special day in the year to celebrate our love more than usual? 

This holiday must have been made for us..

[cheese, cheese, cheeeeese]

When I picked him up he surprised me with some gorgeous red roses, and a gift card for a mani & a pedi at my favorite place. 

They are GORGEOUS. 

Before our dinner reservation at the melting pot, I took him to our room where I had some suprises waiting for him. We had about enough time for a glass of wine before we walked to dinner. 

Dinner was AMAZING. I even ate the seafood!!! 

I was soooooooooo thrilled he loved it. 

I think having met David, Valentine's Day is one of my new favorite holidays. 

Everyday is extraordinary with him, and this was one of my favorite days so far.

& when I can't get up for the life of me..

He brought me breakfast in bed this morning! He is a life saver. 

This delicious plate you are looking at, had an egg, cheese & sausage burrito [CRISPED EVEN] topped with salsa and chipotle sour cream.

Oh, and the cantaloupe ;).

Have I mentioned I'm spoiled rotten? 

I don't feel worthy of such royal treatment from my Prince Charming. He is too good to be true. 

& seriously tho..

That way he looks at me, just melts me..

[& that beard he can grow? --Mmmm so sexy!!]

& he is one sexy study buddy..

On the Thursday night before my big HESI test, he insisted on staying in with me and helping me study!! 

I put him to use quizzing me after a couple hours. I swear to you this lovable man is the reason I passed my test! 

The next morning he got up and made me breakfast while I crammed some more. Gosh, where has he been all my life? 

He even cleaned up the kitchen!! I can't ever get enough of him!! 

After I passed my test we went out for a little celebration. 

It was one of the best days for me. Even my mother said she knew I was going to pass because I am in such a great place in my life.. I blame it on David, he's my good luck charm. <3

& he's my hero too..

I'm no relationship pro, but I have learned a few things in my dating history.
A big thing to watch for is how a man treats his family, especially his mother.
How a guy handles his lady is a reflection of the type of bond he has with his mother.
I love the relationship that David has with his Mom, and I love even more the overwhelming love she has for him.

The other day for Tami's [David's mom] birthday, he cleaned out her room and bought her a dresser. She came home from a rough day at work and was so delighted she almost cried. It was so wonderful to see that.
While Tami and I were on the couch, she tells me how David is her hero. She said "my son shouldn't be my hero, but he is", and then continues to tell me: "he'll probably kill me if he knows I told you this, but before 9/11 he was saving up money for a guitar and almost had enough; but after 9/11 happened he gave all that money to the firefighters and their families.".

It's hard not to fall more in love with him the more I come to learn about him.

A while ago Jenny was telling me a story Justin told her...
One day while Justin and David were driving around, David asked Justin to pull over. David got out, took his coat off and gave it to a homeless man & got back in the car.."

How awe-inspiring is that? He definitely is an inspiration to me.
Every time we pass a homeless person, or someone with a sign he never hesitates to pull out his wallet.
I am going to strive to be more David like. I can genuinely say he is my hero too ❣

[Babe, don't kill me for this post.. You really are incredible, so just accept it. ;]

& our first road trip

On New Years Morning, Glen, my mom, Noah, David and I jumped in the club MDX heading for Denver! Things were going smoothly until we hit the Vail area, not only did we hit skiing traffic, we hit a huge snow storm and were delayed 4 HOURS!!

When we finally got to downtown Denver, Dave and I went out to find some fun, since it was our only night in the big city! :) We were walking distance from 16th street mall in LoDo. Our first stop was Coyote Ugly, and as we were walking in this interesting man bought us our first round..

We had a blast for a little bit and then we ventured down 16th street until something caught our fancy..
We decided to walk into Appaloosa Grill where we enjoyed a sweet live band and some other local brews.

We only stayed for a couple since we were completely pooped from the NYE, and the long drive. 

Then next morning we had some amazing breakfast at Sam's #3, one of my families favorite place to eat in Denver. 

 

[isn't he stunning?]

After breakfast we headed out on another mini road trip to our family's good-friend's house in the middle of beautiful nowhere [aka Conifer]. On the way up, David, Noah and I had downloaded "Evil Apples" (a lot like cards against humanity but iPhone edition) and were dying laughing on the way up.. One of the best moments in the car is when my poor little innocent brother asks my mom: "Mom, whats a pink?" 

The views at their house were amaaaaazing!! We stocked up on local brews we've never had, and my mom bought us some Jameson since it was on sale. [LOL]

 

Our first night with them, Chrystal had cooked us a scrumptious dinner and after we played mexican train from double 12, all the way to double zero!!

We only traveled into a little city once the rest of the trip [One World Cafe for some AMAZING brunch and bloodies.]

The rest of the trip was a wonderful relaxing weekend with some breathtaking views, brews and my favorite people.
