While I was out collecting a few school supplies for the kids, I ran across Post-it Notes and the light bulb went off! My wonderful neighbor had told me...
One of my good friends recently recieved THIS date idea from her thoughtful husband. So when I heard about it, it was too cute not to share!
This is Thayne and Nicole. They are two of de' coolest people I know. Not too mention such a cute pair! So it's no surprise that Thayne goes all out when it comes to spoiling Nicole. Not too long ago Thayne plotted up a storm and decided on a plan for her 23rd birthday. He would invite her on 5 consecutive...
