love day

It's Valentine's Day! Let me tell you about my special loves.

This girl. The one that changed my life forever. I never knew my heart could love so much.

She's so smart and funny, sensitive and sweet. She kisses me at least three times before she gets on the bus each morning. 

She's stubborn and hard headed just like me. But she also has the most caring heart.

 She loves to color and read books with her daddy. And she always laughs at this silly jokes.

Then there's this one. She had my heart from the moment I laid eyes on her. 

 She's such a ham. Always dancing and singing. She marches to the beat of her own drum.

She's so soft spoken and loud at the same time. But she always knows when to hug and snuggle me right when I need it.

The love I have for them can not be measured.

These two are best friends. They might not always show it, but deep down they love each other so much.

Sometimes they fight. Sometimes they fight a lot. But the smiles and the giggles, the kisses and the hugs make up for all of that.

I love when they sleep together. I find them curled up next to each other holding hands in their sleep. I love watching their relationship and love for one another grow each day.

We can't forget about this guy. I wouldn't make it through without him. He's always there for me, good times and bad. And he puts up with all my crap. 

He's the best daddy in the world. He would do anything for these girls. He doesn't go a day without playing Barbies or mermaids. And he does bathtime every night so I don't have to.

He makes me laugh every day. I hope he knows I love him with my whole heart.

This family of mine. They are everything to me.

They keep me going on days when it's hard.

We laugh. We smile. We cry. Then we do it all over again.

We make new memories every day. 

I mean, really? How did I get so lucky.

I thank God every day for this. All of this.
