My Little Valentine

So, today is Valentine's Day. Since Chris and I met, we never found a need to celebrate it. We think it's cheesy, and cliche. Why does Hallmark have to dictate a romantic day for us? Chris shows me his love EVERY DAY. After 4 yrs., he still opens the car door for me. He wakes up immediately in the morning when Sarah does, and rushes out of bed just so I can sleep in a little. He makes me fabulous meals all the time, and gives me a bite of it even before he has one. He works hard to provide the best life for me and our children. He does anything and everything he can to spoil me with love and kindness. So I have to say... These things are the best Valentine's gifts I could ever have. Everyone else can take their roses and chocolates and crowded restaurants tonight... I get that and then some all the time. My baby, Chris, I love you and thank God for you everyday...

Just a little reminiscing here...

In the mountains hiking on one of our first dates.


At the Steelers/Chargers game in San Diego.


On the beach in California.


Fun in Florida, and being the best daddy as always...


Who would have thought Chris would volunteer for the church festival last year?


I just love this photo from our wedding... holding the girls' flowers...



Us, just cracking up...











**Update on this post: After I wrote the above, Chris tells me there is a package that arrived... He sent me a dozen roses and chocolates. He just had to give in this year to our anti-Valentine ritual... Always full of surprises...
