HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
I know, it’s early but our SUO blog challenge for this week is a valentine….gotta give you time to case if you want to! I have really enjoyed this red glitter paper for Christmas AND Valentine’s Day. A little bit goes a long way, but it’s so WOW! I also love these dp’s from SU, with all the little polka dot papers……cool stuff!! I’ve been thinking about my Valentine a lot these days. What a steady, even keeled, good man I married 37 years ago. I am so loving watching him acclamate himself to this brand new job at the hospital. After watching him downright miserable for the past two years truck driving, it’s so nice to see him go off to work with a smile on his face and come home every night and the smile is still there. So nice to have another person in the house when I come home at night. So nice to have someone keeping the other side of the bed warm every night. So nice to have someone shoveling the snow, and taking out the garbage, and helping do dishes, and cooking….and someone to watch a movie with on a Friday night, go out to dinner with…and the list goes on. All things I once took for granted, they are a gift after the last 3 years of separation due to the truck driving. It’s nice to marry your best friend when you are really still a kid….and wake up 37 years later, and he’s still the one! I try not to take him for granted, but to wake up each day and be thankful to be married to my best friend. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!!~ Until next time, tell someone you love them!~

January 25, 2011Thank you for loving your DH and sharing your story. Like you, I was blessed to marry my best friend and I love him more now than I did when we married 19 years ago. God sure gave me a gift with that man!
So glad your lives are happy and cozy with his new job. Even more glad you continue to share your phenomenal talents with us here in blog-land!
Happy St. Valentine's Day (early).
