happy birthday to me! february 13th was my 26th birthday but we've been celebrating for about two weeks (of course!) tony is constantly amazed at how i stretch my birthday out so far. in my mind, i don't see how you can't. we had one day with tony's family, one day with my mom, had dinner with friends, and of course we celebrated just the two of us (that can't be done all in one day, right?!) tony's mom threw me a birthday party with an "alissa blu" theme. the party was mainly ...

that’s how you fondue it.
hope you all had a good valentine's day! we celebrated by staying home this year. we went out so much for birthday related activities that both of us were like, let's just stay home. we got a fondue set for our wedding and have yet to use it (isn't that the story with so many wedding gifts!) we decided to put it to use and did cheese and chocolate fondue and omg it was delicious. so, valentine's day is kind of cheesy right? so in the spirit of the holiday, tony and i wore these matching ...

up up and away.
the hot air affair is an annual hot air balloon festival in hudson, wisconsin. i was dying to go and see the hot air balloons. we got there at 7:30am (!!) to find out that it was too windy and cloudy for the balloons to actually take off. they blew a lot of the balloons up, but they just sat there in the fields. i'm not going to lie, i was still pretty much in awe of the whole thing. my favorite balloon was the one that was sponsored by a grocery store and it had these three dimensional foods ...

this weekend we celebrated brad and manda's beautiful winter wedding up in white bear lake, minnesota. brad and tony coach lacrosse together at anoka high school (go tornadoes!) and it was fun for tony to see the guys he coaches with and also meet some new people in the anoka community. i got so so many compliments on the necklace i was wearing, and i proudly told each person, "thanks it's my mom's!" special shoutout to my mom kate! but back to the wedding... brad and manda are just the ...

life in the loop.
this weekend we had nothing on the calendar (!!) and the weather was above freezing (!!) so we got out of the house and enjoyed our neighborhood a bit. we also wanted to get ella out so she could get some exercise. that girl has put on some serious lbs this winter. it's mostly our fault as it's been so cold and we don't want to walk outside (LOL). but as it was so nice this weekend, we took her on a walk over to northeast minneapolis and then back downtown on the stone arch bridge. she is kind ...

50 things about us.
we met at a bar in madison, wisconsin. tony tried to get me to go out with him four different times before i finally gave in. i’m really glad that i did. on our first date i ordered dinner but tony had already eaten. he felt bad and ordered something anyway. tony proposed to me at the intersection of lincoln and belden in chicago. i was completely speechless. i didn’t cry. i very rarely cry. for our wedding, instead of cake we had donuts. tony brings me coffee in bed every ...
