My "Love Song" for Scott

Happy Valentine's Day, all! 

This post will be short and sweet. Scott and I have concluded that our gift for each other this year is our dog, Baxley. We don't like to spend much on this overly-hyped holiday, but it is still nice to receive something special on this day from your love. 

Scott surprised me over the weekend and built us a much needed spice rack (which I be posting photos of next time) for our kitchen! I was so shocked, I had no idea that he had been building it in our apartment.  He even pointed out that much of the materials he had used were laying around and I did not notice anything.  Not one bit! 

So for him, I decided to record an 'awkward' video of me playing a song that means a lot to us. Originally by The Cure, here is my rendition of "Love Song" for my babe. 

Much love to you all!

Your Love Is Gold

Currently, I cannot stop obsessing over James Vincent McMorrow's gentle voice and overall wonderfulness.  Nothing beats sitting outside on a somewhat-chilly autumn afternoon (with my favorite sweater of course), and just relaxing to this man's mellow-natured soul.

"Hear the Noise that Moves so Soft and Low" is a definite favorite of mine by him. So, if you're reading this, I hope you take a second to check out some of his tunes. I promise it will be well worth listening! >> James Vincent McMorrow's Website

OH! And just a fun little side-note: my 6 month old puppy Baxley is finally arriving tomorrow.  It has been a good two weeks since my boyfriend Scott and I have been waiting ever-so-patiently for our pup to come home. We adopted him from a rescue shelter in South Carolina, even though we live in northern Virginia. But besides the distance, we are more than thrilled for his arrival. Expect several (and possibly more) photos of him in my next post. I cannot wait to share this little guy with you all!
