So it's Valentine's Day, and normally I can take it or leave it. I am not one of those girls that expects anything extravagant, I don't even really need flowers or presents. But it is nice to have a little reminder to shower your partner with love, and really I at least expect a card.
This year, a day about love couldn't have come at a better time for us. I have not been the easiest person to love lately, and in all honesty I haven't put in the effort that my amazing husband deserves. As you know we're moving, i'm quitting my job, leaving my friends and moving to the dessert. There is a lot going on in my personal life and all of it is stressful. Unfortunately, this makes me cranky and lazy and emotional and no fun. (Sorry, honey!)
Last night, Mark came home with a card board box and inside turned out to be one of the sweetest surprises he has ever given me. The gift is thoughtful and beautiful and completely from his heart, which makes it perfect. I am so incredibly lucky that this man loves me, even when it may not be easy. He constantly shows me that I am special and that he is there for me. I truly have a partner in life, in good times and in bad. And a best friend to face whatever adventure we are on.
This year I am all about being sappy and celebrating being in love, because its fantastic, and i'm lucky that I have someone so wonderful to share my life with. And I hope all of you are just as happy today.
Happy Valentine's Day Lovers!
