happy love day


In honor of St. Valentine's Day, I thought I would do a little post about the things I love.
Obvious loves:
Danny: He is the rock I lean against when the wind blows. And it has been blowing a lot lately. I am so glad I have him or I might have blown over by now. I love you Danny.
Eden: She is the sweetest little curly headed love. When I held her for the first time, I couldn't imagine my heart loving more than at that moment. But I truly love her more each day, even when she makes me want to scream.
Charlie: I had no idea the capacity to love my heart had. I am totally in love with my little man. He is the cutest.
Family: I love and admire my parents so much. And I love being the big sister to my brother (and his cute wife) and sisters. They are each so talented, unique, smart and funny in different ways. I can't wait to see who my sisters marry so we can complete our pretty great family.
In-laws: I got so lucky in this department. Each member of Danny's family has some trait or virtue for me to aspire to. Thanks guys!
Pedicures: Hello! Whats not to love?!
Not so Obvious Loves:
The two minutes a day when both kids are happy and no one is crying. I cherish those two minutes.
The feel of the sand between my toes on a sunny day. Ahhhhh.
The Cabin.
Watching the rain. I love rain on occasion, just don't send me to Seattle.
Food: Cafe Rio, Settebello, Wendy's chicken nuggets (don't judge), strawberry shakes from In-N-Out, pumpkin cheesecake, a good bowl of homemade spaghetti, I could go on and on and on.
Long HOT baths with a good book.
Snuggling in bed on Saturday mornings. We started this tradition with Eden. I love looking at my kiddos happy smiling faces first thing in the am. If we have any more kids, we are going to need a bigger bed.
Singing campfire songs with the fam. I know this makes us a little red neck but what the hey, it is so fun.
And last but not least, I love trying to be spontaneous! I am trying each and every day!
Happy love day to you!!! Go hug someone!

I can't believe how old little Charlie is looking! And I can't believe I still haven't met him..... Hopefully soon!
