For Valentine's Day, Brett and I were walking through this wooded area... and all of a sudden... there were hearts all along the trees! I looked over at him as he swooped me up into his arms and gave me a passionate, romantic kiss. He whispered, "I love you, my wife." and we frolicked off into the forest... and lived happily ever after.
Hahaha, just kidding! I totally had you guys doing, didn't I? Okay, fine... "my wife" didn't sound right to me either. Well anyway, scratch that, and let me give you the real romantic married story. I walked into the kitchen when I got home from work and the kitchen table was missing! Of course, Brett led me to our sun room where the table was set for two with a fondue set and so many yummy items to fondue. We drank soda from wine glasses, fried up veggies and chicken (fake chicken for Brett!) and had so much fun! So for Valentine's Day, we "fondued" it!
I actually had a reader leave me a Facebook message saying she spotted this really cute area on her way home from work that had these hearts attached to the trees! So, of course, anything totally tacky, Brett and I scope out... and it was so cute. I loved it! So thanks to Mari for giving me a totally wonderful idea for an outfit post!
I hope all of you had (or are having!) a wonderful Valentine's Day! I'm stuffed on fondue-goodness and too many cookies from our work cookie potluck! I made fruit pizza... yum! So yummy. Ps; Do you follow me on Twitter? ♥

these are such cute photos, tieka! very creative :)
Sooo adorable! Love the tights.
And you're brave to face the snow sans jacket! :)
Hahaha, you totally had me going! But what he really did sounds so wonderful :)
This post is adorable. That red dress is GORGEOUS and you are making me so excited to wear my Jeffrey Campbells again! Eee!
You and Brett give me hope for "someday".
You are beautiful, Tieka. xoxo
You totally tricked me with the first part of your post! I was sitting and reading thinking, "Darn, I need to find a guy as sweet as Brett!" although your surprise fondue party sounded super cute too.
I absolutely love your red dress with the lipstick and those hearts. How cute are you guys?!
Hope you had an amazing Valentine's Day! ♥
Personally, I think your real Valentine's day sounds much better than the former! It's too cute. You are constantly making me so excited for married life, it sounds so amazing! This outfit post is adorable, I'm such a sucker for all things love. :)
Happy Valentine's Day!
Your dress is lovely. And a woods full of hearts is a lucky find!
Haha! At first I thought Brett did the tights but fondue sounds pretty cute too! I love your outfit! You look sassy! Happy Valentine's Day!
Such a lovely outfit!
And the real story is as cute as the first one :)
Aw so cute :)
Perfect for Valentine's Day! xoxo.
How sweet is your beau!! I love this outfit post :)
Love and Turtledoves,
Jaco
ps Happy Valentine's Day!
I love this outfit, everything is perfect--the tights, the boots, and the lipstick!
These are some of your prettiest pictures! I mean, they're all pretty, but I love the cute red dress, hearts and pretty lip stick. And Brett's fondue idea is really sweet.
Seriously Tieka, I mean really, could you be any cuter??
And what Brett did for you sounds so sweet!
Happy Valentine's Day! ♥
What a lovely Valentines Day and outfit! Digging that you can pull off the red lip so beautifully!
tieka this outfit is simple beautiful, you look so romantic yet fun at the same time, I adore your cute heart print tights and the pretty hearts in the trees!
aw how cute... I totally swooned for the first scenario :)
Ha, you had me up until "my wife," then I sensed something fishy going on. It sounds like you had a pretty stellar Valentine's anyway, and you look adorable!
Such a cute photoshoot! I love the big red hearts mixed with your dress. Hope you're having a fun valentine's day.
Haha, you definitely did have me going on your first story. :P :) But the real one is absolutely lovely as well. :)
Cute outfit and location! Love the dress. :)

I'm doing okay coping with not being with my valentine :( it's so nice to have the whole blogsphere full of love though and we have a skype pizza date so that will suffice!
I don't know if it's the snow or the red dress or the ombre growing out, but your hair looks darker in this post and you look STUNNING.
Happy Valentine's Day gorgeous Tieka!! I really thought when I first read this post that Brett had put all of these hearts on trees and then took you to this forest....but you got me! You look so beautiful...my gosh. Red lipstick is so stunning on you! Im so glad you and Brett had (and are having) such a great day. What a sweet pea..I love fondue!! kisses and hugs to you sweet friend xoxo

This post is sweet, charming and down right adorable.
I love this post. I'm not a big commenter but this post is just adorable. From the fake story to the real story and the killer gotta have it dress. Oh and what a cute spot. This just made my day extra cheery.

Tieka, these pictures are adorable. All the little hearts are just darling, and the red dress looks amazing on you (and it really pops against the snow and your skin!). Sounds like y'all had a super fun night!
If you don't mind my asking, is there anything in particular you usually do to your pictures in Photoshop before you post them?
You look amazing, great photos!
