With just a week to go until I head out to Dubai to see my fiancé, after eight weeks apart, I'm seriously excited! The weekend has been filled pre-holiday chores and errands, and apart from meeting up with one of my friends for coffee and a little shopping, I haven't done a great deal else that was very interesting. So, I thought I'd show you a few snaps of my Valentine's Day instead.
Since the Mr is a few thousand miles away, I spent the evening alone, trying not to eat every last Hershey's kiss and chocolate truffle! I was moderately successful, but only because I got distracted by something else though. The Mr sent me a couple of photos (see below) of a mysterious white Shopbop box which he said is special belated Valentine's/sorry-you've-been-on-your-own-so-long-I-know-it's-sucked gift that's awaiting my arrival in Dubai! Eeeek, exciting!

| I don't actually remember how exactly the petname came about, but my fiancé is known as 'Bear' to me. And, over the years I've grown a strong affinity for bears of all kinds. This little guy is to add to my growing family of teddy bears :) |

| Japanese Cherry Blossom Shower Gel // The Body Shop // Smells divine but makes me want to eat candy! |

| The mystery box |
 |
| The goods wrapped up inside...and that's all the clues I have! |
Of course, I've spent the last few days telling him my curiosity really cannot stand it and asking him to pleeeeaase tell me or at least give me some clues but he's not giving anything away. Soooo, any guesses people??
Naturally, the combination of being reunited with him, taking a vacation and a surprise gift has my excitement levels through the roof! I can barely sleep at night and I'm spending the majority of my downtime on the internet researching things to see/do in Dubai. I've already had a few very helpful suggestions from some blogger friends but any more suggestions that you have would be very welcome.

By the shape of the box a bag maybe? I'd be dying to know!x
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful pictures, and surprises are always fun... can't wait to see what's inside! Coincidentally I call my boy "Bear" too and look for ways to include bear references in cards/gifts to him!

I blogged about Valentine's Day here :) http://thefashionistabubble.blogspot.ca/2013/02/valentines-day-2013.html
What a sweet Valentine you have :) I'm so sorry you've been away for 2 months, that is so incredibly difficult. But at least you get to see him soon and you get a new gift along with it! I'm guessing it's a bag...you have to show us!!

That's so exciting! I blogged about my Valentine's Day with my honey Michael here if you wish to take a peek: http://bit.ly/VzKwDH
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine having to be away from Michael for two months! That must be so difficult! We used to be long distance but would see each other every weekend, and that was hard enough. I'm so glad you get to see him soon. I hope you have a wonderful time!
Love,
Kimberley xx
