happy valentines day

"we love because He first loved us" 1 john 4:19

i enjoy valentines day so much more now that we are married...no pressure to pick out a sweet, over-the-top present and card. actually, this is what i got for justin this year. 

please tell me you have seen those gatorade commercials...prime, perform, recovery. the gratitude. welcome to some of our lame inside jokes. we never claimed to be cool.

he got me some beautiful red roses, i guess he likes me :)

we couldn't leave out poor Millie. she loves socks so i let her play with one of mine. it may look brown and nasty, thats because she has been licking and chewing on it for most of the afternoon. 

yes, she is that easy to please.

our staff team takes one day a month and devotes it to our relationship with the Lord. we are so blessed by this and it is such a rejuvenation to our ministry. today, we are spending our day reading the Bible and drinking starbucks. two of my favorites.

tonight we are fixing one of our favorite meals, calzones. yummmm.

what a great day. hope you are enjoying your valentines day as well. spend it with someone you love!

my sweet husband

i love tulips.

justin brought these beautiful tulips home last night. our conversation went just like this.

me: oh thanks, love them.

justin: yeah, they are great. i am hoping they will all bloom on monday.

me: yeah, i hope so too. but why monday???

justin: isn't monday valentines day? 

me:.....no

maybe you needed to be there. i thought it was hilarious. sometimes its the thought that counts.

this is love...

husband is folding paper towels into fancy shapes for last night's dinner.

look at the concentration on his face. this made my night.

thanks for continuing to make me smile.
