My heart belongs to..

Kent Smith is an amazing husband with such a big heart ! Monday evening after I work I came home to a delicious dinner of steak, lobster and asparagus. It was a great Valentine's Day!! I love you K. Smith <3

The evening wouldn't have been complete if we didn't get to visit with two of our friends that hold a special place in our hearts, Beau and Mac. Kent wanted to watch the WVU basketball game and the wind had other plans for our cable, it went out. So Kent called his good friend Beau to see if we could crash their romantic Valentine's evening. With chocolate fondue (that my wonderful husband made), cake and fruit in hand we headed over to the Holsingers to end the night. I hope everyone had a great day with those they love!

"Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other." (Psalm 85:10)

Another Great Wknd..

Another fun filled weekend for the Smith's!

Friday evening our good friends Macall and Beau invited us to have dinner with Beau's parents who were in town from Virginia. We met them at Oliverio's on the Wharf. It was a good dinner with great company!

Saturday Kent and I traveled to Washington, PA to celebrate not one, not two but three birthdays! We celebrated Tanner, Gianni and Ella's first birthday, my friend Ashley's sweet triplets. It was great seeing Ashley and the cute James trio. I think all three of them had a great birthday!

On Superbowl Sunday even though the Steelers didn't win we proudly wore our gold and black while our friends Beau and Ditty celebrated a victory for the Packers.

My Kind of Party

My close friend Mac hosted a Clothing Swap Party on Monday. It was a mixture of friends from our small group and her co-workers. Everyone brought three or more articles of clothing and two accessories. We drew numbers to see who got to shop first and then the party started! I came home with a Juicy Couture purse (thanks Lisa), a cozy gray sweater (thanks Stacey J.) and a cute summer dress (thanks again Lisa)! This was such a great idea and a very fun girls night, I can't wait for the Spring Swap Party!!

I love my new sweater and summer dress!

Mac's new black shirt and blue cardigan

Stacy - The trio friendship vest (Stacy named this vest); I had this vest and gave it to Mac after our yard sale last year and now Stacy has it.

Lisa's new earrings and scarf

Paola's new shirt and necklace

Kelly's new shirt and necklace

Susan's new dress

A Few Sweet Surprises

Kent surprised me with my very first piece of Blenko glass. Blenko glass is a West Virginia treasure that spans for generations. I love my heart shaped pen holder and couldn't wait to add it to my office decor!

Kent also surprised me with a magnabilities necklace! You purchase the necklace, a pendant and then different design inserts (magnets). I love it! It's a new necklace every day!

Below is one of my favorite inserts, a black and white cow pattern :o)

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.." (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)

Weekend at Wisp

We had a great getaway weekend to Wisp Ski Resort with our church small group. God has blessed with us with amazing friends from small group and it was great getting to spend the entire weekend with them. We went skiing, played games and spent some much needed time together.
With only one injury (thankfully our very good friend Mac is on the road to recovery after a knee injury on a black diamond), two snowball fights and lots of laughs.. it was a great getaway! We can't wait for the next adventure!

Almost Finished...

For the last few months we have been working on finishing our basement so that Kent would have a "man cave" with a little splash of Danielle :)
Thanks to our Nana and Papaw Beymer and Grandpa and Mamaw Hollen for giving us Christmas money and Lowes giftcards we were able to get the fireplace that Kent has had his eye on. With a little added decor and a cute little puppy Kent stood in front of his new fireplace for a quick photo.

First family photo in 2011 :)

Winter Classic

A special Christmas gift for Kent -> Club Level tickets to the 2010 Winter Classic at Heinz field in Pittsburgh!
I requested tickets to the Winter Classic through my work in June in hopes of maybe getting tickets. I hadn't heard anything in months until Thursday, December 23rd. I got exactly two club level tickets to the event and even though I knew Kent would be pumped I decided to wait and include it in with his Christmas gifts. Well pumped was an understatement, he was absolutely thrilled! So yesterday we dressed in our Pens gear and headed to Pittsburgh. We had a nice dinner at Max & Erma's amongst other Pens fans and even though the Penguins lost we had a blast!! It was a great first day of 2011.
