To My Sweet Husband.

Husband,

Happy Valentine's Day. I love the way my hand fits perfectly into yours, the way you bring out the best in me, and the way you let me have your half of the dessert. I can't remember a time in my life that you weren't there, and I love that. You are the peanut butter to my jelly.

Love, Me



Happy Valentines Day!

So last week sucked. I got some pretty terrible news, Sean got the flu, and then I pulled a muscle in my back and was bed ridden for two days. OK... so two days watching movies on the couch with Sean didn't really suck........................ but the rest, definitely suck-y.

This is when I like to remember that my friends are really amazing at cheering me up! I had been planning to vist one of my best friends Denise, but towards the end of the week I was starting to think it wasn't going to happen. But, bad back and all, I forced myself into my car and drove an hour to see my friend. Best decision of the entire week.

Denise is one of the best cooks I've ever seen, and her and her husband Stuart greeted me with homemade nachos and some really good laughs! I was super bummed that Sean had to stay home, but it was sooooo nice to get out of the house for a little while and leave all of my drama at home. We got into our sweats pretty early in the night, and just had fun being together. It was nice to forget that a few hours prior I was at home feeling sorry for myself! I woke up Saturday morning to made-from-freaking-scratch cinnamon rolls and we walked around Charlottesville looking at houses and talking about the future. It was a breath of fresh air [literally].

Best part? Denise & Stuart just got the cutest little puppy I have ever seen! Meet: Godzilla [and big brother, Baboos]

I was having so much fun with Denise and Stuart that I almost forgot that Sean was stuck at home alone [oops!] and so I finally arrived back in Richmond by Saturday night. It felt really good to be missed, and we ordered a pizza and watched movies together... poor Sean didn't start feeling better until last night, just in time for work. Blehhh.

I had made reservations at this really fancy French resteraunt, however we both decided that it would be much more fun to cook at home in our pj's since Sean was still feeling kind of sick. We went to the grocery and picked out fresh roses, steak, crab cakes, french bread, asparagus, wine and this really amazing reeses-brownie-thing.

Sean doesn't even like sweets [more for me!] but...... we were both fighting over this baby. It was probably the best brownie we've both ever tasted!

 We spent the night watching Eternal Sunshine of A Spotless Mind and cuddling with the two best puppies ever [yes, I forced Pete to wear a purple sweater. I am one of those people]. We love this movie, because secretly we both know that the main characters are an exaggerated version of ourselves. We may argue and sometimes we don't even act like we like eachother very much.... but at the end of the day, Sean is my soulmate and there isn't anyone else I could ever picture spending my life with! This was our 11th Valentines Day together, and I love knowing that it will not be our last!

 [hopefully next year we can try the fancy resteraunt]

Happy Valentines Day!!!!!!!

February.

Today I saw this little guy while I was walking outside to meet my dad this afternoon {he surprised me with a father + daughter lunch date - so sweet!} It's a whopping 65 degrees today in Richmond, Va... and I couldn't be more excited for Spring!

... I guess today was a little teaser, and tomorrow will be back to wet, cold, winter not-so-awesomeness.

On a positive note, Valentine's Day is coming up! Only 12 more days! In case you were wondering, Valentine's Day is my second favorite holiday [the first being Halloween]...

I'm excited about dressing up and going out for a nice dinner with my hubby.

[Then coming home and cuddling with my puppies over a ginormous bowl of ice cream]

Here's a fun post I did last year, especially for my Valentine.

je t'aime mon chéri {i love you, my darling}

This weekend is going to be special.

Not only do I get a 3 day weekend... but it's

Valentine's Day!!!

We aren't planning anything special...

just a night together watching movies and ordering in.

I love spending time with my husband... he is my best friend.

Top 5 Things I Love About Sean:

1. His passion for his beliefs.

2. His acceptance of others different than him.

3. His support for our marriage and willingness to try harder every day.

4. His compassion for those less fortunate.

5. His ability to comfort & support me when I'm feeling my worst.

{Such a cutie - I love you, Sean!}
