Well… Galentine’s Night Out and Valentine’s Day have ended. Here we are again, another Monday…
I had a wonderful weekend!!
FRIDAY: Galentine’s with the Bestie!
On Friday night I went out for cocktails and dancing with my best friend, Brittany. We’ve been besties since 8th grade! Nearly 13 years of friendship!
Follow me on Instagram @ambershann0n and you’ll find some photos of the two of us!
We went out to Pour House in Oak Brook then hit up Chicago checking out Beercade for some old school arcade games
then ended the night by dancing at Mercer and Untitled Supper Club.
SATURDAY: Valentine’s Day, duh!… With my Man…
Alena had rehearsal for Seussical a big chunk of the day… so Mike came out by me and took me to lunch.
Then we drove around looking at homes/neighborhoods and chatted.
For Valentine’s night, we stayed in, cuddling and indulged in Lou Malnati’s Deep Dish Pizza, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake, and my favorite moscato!
It was such a sweet time with my darling!
I shared a few photos from the weekend on my Instagram. Check them out and follow me @ambershann0n!
How was your weekend? Any interesting, funny, or unforgettably romantic Valentine’s Day moments?

We stayed in for Valentine’s Day, it was impossible to find a baby sitter. Sounds like you had a great weekend and a lovely Valentine’s celebration!

It’s just a day, couples should celebrate their romance together anytime… so no problem staying in at all. It was a very lovely day, and I hope you had one, too!!

Sounds like you had a great Valentines day!! We stayed in and the BF cooked – after last minute considering if we should go away somewhere, we kind of dropped the ball and everything was booked! Ooops. It was fun though :)

It was such a fun time with the bestie. We laughed and chatted so much, and were out in the cold here & there, I lost my voice as the night progressed!! The cocktail in the photo of this post is an Amaretto Sprite with Pineapple Juice and Grenadine! It may have a name, but I just order it that way… sooo delish!

Valentines didn’t went well but it’s fine because it’s not like it’s everyday to celebrate.
One thing that it is important is our daily life.

I’m so sorry to hear Valentine’s Day wasn’t the best experience for you… but you’ve got the right attitude honey, it’s JUST A DAY! Romance and love can be celebrated at any time, for any reason! Hopefully you have plenty of better days ahead!
