Everyday is Valentine's Day....

Today was... Valentine's Day. A day to celebrate love. But today, I did not get a valentine card. I did not get a box of chocolate. I did not get flowers. 

I did get however:

• A morning to sleep without interruption. 
  
• A time to lay in bed as long as I wanted. 
  
• My daughter coming to get in bed with me. 
  
• My son coming to get in bed with me. 
• My husband coming to get in bed with me. Actually, I noticed that together we totaled over 24 foot of legs in my bed at one time! 
  
• A slow morning getting ready and heading to Jan Mar for lunch. 
• A time of shopping at an antique store with Logan ( a cool vintage dress found) 
• A sweet movie with Logan while Mark and Connor saw an action movie. 
• A comment from Mark to the kids that "everyday is valentine's day for us". 
• A laugh when the kids thought that comment was funny (it's true though). 
• A realization about how true that comment is... no ups and downs-consistant love. 
• A night at Kingsport Grocery with new friends and food and fun!
• A great conversation about the journey my life has been. 
• A chance to tell how much I respect Mark for being able to lead our family (I am a little bold sometimes and may push hard but he always takes the lead). 
• A chance to kiss my kids goodnight. 
• A chance to lay beside a man that I love more now than I have ever dreamed possible. 
• A chance to think about church in the morning and how I love that in our life as well. 
• A moment to love my God and be thankful that everyday is Valentine's Day with Him.
