Happy Leap year, and last day of February everyone! I can't believe how quickly this month flew by! January was somewhat slow, and dreary but luckily having the girls birthdays and helping prepare Lexie for her mission helped the time go by fast. Not that I wanted it to because dang I miss that girl, but really looking forward to spring, and hope that with warmer weather heading our way next week will make spring come early!
February was indeed filled with lots of love, and I really love this mural. The girls birthdays and Valentines day are a great stat to a new year and reading the words on the red hearts are beautiful reminders on how to always be... not just on special holidays but all the days of our life. And it is my hope that we will always choose love. Have Respect. Be in harmony. Be happy. And simply just LOVE period! Looking forward to March and the rest of the days ahead. Even though I don't mind the cold too much I will still be hoping for warmer weather, and that spring comes early!
Valentines Day for us has always been quite simple. And sometimes the simplest celebrations are the most special. In all our years of being together, neither of us have never felt the need to try hard to impress each other. Our gifts didn't always consist of material gifts and flowers. We realized long ago that quality time together was always the answer to every celebration. Whether it's going to the matinee or watching Netflix or a dvd from home. Making a simple dinner at home. A walk on the beach (if it's not too cold). Sitting on a park bench discussing matters of the heart, or simply walking the streets of New York laughing and eating our way through the city. It feels great knowing that we don't need to go all out for each other and as the years pass us by and as we grow older time and our kids become more important. Important in the fact that we acknowledge them and shower them with love and a good ear in hearing all about their days. Valentines is a lovely holiday and whoever thought it up is genius. Expressing love to those who mean the most through handwritten notes is my favorite. And although gifts such as flowers and chocolate are nice...flowers die, and chocolate gets eaten really, really quick! So time. Time spent together is all one really needs. And a whole lot of LOVE!
However you celebrate this holiday I wish you both!
