For My Valentine

Valentine,

It's hard to believe that this is our 17th holiday together. There have been many ups and downs, but I can't imagine taking that journey with anyone but you. Thank you for being the incredible person that you are and for loving me just as I am.

One of my favorite songs is by Brandi Carlile and it's called "The Story". Her lyrics express pretty accurately how I feel about you and our adventure.

Love you always and forever,

Me

The Story

by Brandi Carlile

All of these lines across my face

Tell you the story of who I am

So many stories of where I've been

And how I got to where I am

But these stories don't mean anything

When you've got no one to tell them to

It's true, I was made for you

I climbed across the mountaintops

Travel across the ocean blue

I cross over lines and I broke all the rules

And baby I broke them all for you

Oh because even when I was flat broke

You made me feel like a million bucks

You do, I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth

It's hiding the words that don't come out

All of the friends who think that I'm blessed

They don't know I'm in this mess

No they don't know who I really am

And they don't know what I've been through

Like you do and I was made for you

All of these lines across my face

Tell you the story of who I am

So many stories of where I've been

And how I got to where I am

Oh but these stories don't mean anything

When you've got no one to tell them to

It's true, I was made for you

Oh yeah, and it's true that I was made for you

My Valentines

I know Valentine's Day has passed, but I didn't have the chance to post about my 3 favorite people in this world. The reasons that I get out of bed everyday and the reasons that I strive to be a better me.

Here's Little A at her V-Day party at preschool. Another mom pointed out to me that Little A ate her cookie first, certainly before anything healthy on her plate. Yeah, that's because it's so rare that she gets to eat stuff like that, so she jumps on the opportunity. LOL!

Little A loves the playground at school. Peek-a-boo you sweet thing!

Big A also enjoyed her class party. And I would like to point out that SHE ate all her cheese cubes first. Then she dove into the cupcakes.

This is Big A's new friend, B. He's a little player. Big A is the 3rd girl in class that he's shown affection towards and he's already moved on to another classmate. Those boys...they're so fickle. Get used to it now, Big A. It only gets worse from here. LOL!

Happy belated Valentine's Day to you all from me and the loves of my life!
