LOVE



I hope you've been able to celebrate your true love today!

I feel so special on Valentine's day because it reminds me of how much love surrounds me.

I have the best husband in the world and we're very much in love and I hope we are until we have lots of wrinkles, grey hair, and he can just turn down his hearing aid when he gets sick of my nagging.

I love my family.  They're all fantastic.  I miss my sisters and fighting over each other's clothes and doing our make-up together in our bathroom at my parents house.  My dad gives the best advice and my mom is by far the most genuinely nice person I have ever met.  

I love my friends.  I very much miss being around people who have known me since kindergarten, even though they may have judged me a little because I had snot hanging out of my nose far too often in first grade. And I am lucky to have continued to meet fabulous people through my most awkward high school phases, and while becoming a grown up in college.  Sometimes I wonder why anyone would tolerate me enough to be my friend, but I'm really glad you all have!

I love my dogs.  They help me to get joy out of the simplest things in life and provide the most unconditional love.  

What do you love?  I hope your Valentine's day has been a reason for celebration!

XOXOXO

  3. A beautiful blog post! V Day is not a big day where I am from, so I am not good at celebrating it!
    I also miss my dear friends and family so much... We are the furthest apart we can possibly be, and it's not recommended (but I also am where I am because of love, so I can't complain too much!!). It is so true what you say about friends who you've known since forever, they are irreplaceable.
