My Funny Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day to my Husband.

After almost 13 years together I have learned a few things about him.  First, he's not great at big romantic gestures.  I never get flowers for no reason, he rarely will plan a romantic date for the two of us, and he has a hard time buying me gifts or surprizing me.  With that said what I have come to recognize about my husband is that he is really great at doing the small things.  He makes breakfast for our family almost every morning (and usually my lunch too), he will empty the dishwasher or switch over a load of laundry without being asked.  He will fill up my car with gas when he drives it because he knows I don't like to pump gas (especially in the winter).  He gets up with our son some weekend mornings just so I can sleep in.  He is so thoughtful in so many kinds of ways that I have to be careful not to overlook those things or take them for granted because these are the ways he is showing me he loves me.

My husband is strong, loyal, kind, honest, hardworking, and generous.  He is an amazing daddy and he always puts his family first, I have never questioned where his heart is because it is always with us.

Thank you for being my best friend and life partner, there is no one I would rather spend this life with.

Happy Valentine's Day!
