A day of LOVE!

 Happy Valentine's day, I'm only a couple months late!  I've argued with people before on our opinions about V-day and I'm sure you have your own but as for me?  I love it!  Sure you can say "You should show your love everyday not have to have a holiday to do so." or "It's a retailers scheme to get you to shop" etc.  I just love the people I love and am excited to have a day to make SURE they know it! 

I made Justin this cheesy candy bar poster...

 It's tradition I make heart shaped sugar cookies for Valentine's day.  Justin's mom used to make cookies that spelled out "love" for her kiddos and leave them by their bed V-day morning with a note saying how much and why she loved them.  (8 kids, yes, she was a saint).  Since she is no longer here to do it I've always kept that sweet tradition alive.  I'm sure hers were more beautiful than mine! :)
 My darling husband sent me flowers, chocolates, and a teddy bear at work.  What a fun surprise!  I LOVE him!
 My first love, daddy, surprised me with matching earrings to the necklace my bro Nicholas gave me for Christmas.  I was SO excited and I LOVE them!! 
 My mom and dad gave us a cute little treat.  They are so thoughtful and generous to us!
 My mom and I gave the boys personal training passes to the gym!  (Seems kind of strange to go along with a candy bar poster huh?:)) Side note, they are still going strong and doing a great job!
 I was lucky enough to have a hot date for the night planned by my sweetie!
 We went to dinner and then saw Safe Haven- I had just finished reading the book and J knew how excited I was to see it.  So sweet of him when I know he'd rather watch something blow up!
 We played arcade games while we waited for our show to start. 
hmmm.... this is about par for the course when I play anything with my talented hub! 

Happy love day to all.  I'm so thankful for all the wonderful people I get to love in my life.  I'm blessed beyond words!
