The air was buzzing with love this morning at our house! The girls have been counting down the days until Valentine’s Day since we flipped the calendar to February. The excitement was so fun as we took time to make each other feel extra special and loved today.
Parents in Jamahl’s classroom were invited to decorate their child’s desk and surprise the kids this morning. Boy were they shocked! Jamahl just kept asking me when I had the time to do it! It was really fun to watch his face light up as he felt the love. Besides, who else knows his favorite candy bar!
Paul and I sent the girls each a carnation at school this morning and they were equally surprised and smiling from ear to ear. What a great reminder of how special we are to one another!
I did have to laugh this morning as I read my card from Paul. Both the card that he gave me and the one that I gave him, talked about the “everyday, ordinary” love. Like doing the laundry, cooking meals, ect. and how even though things may not always be perfect, we are happy to have each other. While those things are certainly true, I couldn’t help but think how our choice of cards has changed over the last 13 years….I seem to remember cards that were a whole lot “steamier” than talking about laundry! Funny how life changes and the focus becomes on being so grateful for each other and the life that we have created together. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Ain't that the truth! My husband and I have been together 20 years now. I told him, forget about the cards. So you're doing better than us, LOL! Have a Happy Valentine's Day! Glad the kids had fun at school!
