28 things I love

Happy Valentine's Month. 

You're probably going to start thinking that I overuse the word "love" and that I say I love everything, but I really do. :)

I was trying to figure out my favorite holiday and I seriously can't decide - Christmas, birthdays, Valentine's Day, the 4th of July - I love any reason to celebrate!

First of all I want to say that I have always loved Valentine's Day, even when I was single for {many} years. 

Pink, red, hearts, glitter, flowers: I love everything about the holiday. Even when I didn't have a significant someone to share the day with, I loved finding creative little ways to tell my family and friends that I love them. 

This year, I thought it would be fun to write each day for the month of February about something that I love. {These are in no particular order!}

#1: Today's post is about Aaron! 

Several weeks ago, my mother-in-law posted this article and asked how her sons are doing:

12 Tips to a Better Marriage

I know Aaron hadn't seen this list before (it was just posted in January of this year) and he honestly does all* of these including number one on the list:

1) Get in her side of the bed while she is getting ready for bed. Then move when she climbs in – it will already be toasty warm for her.

He started doing this back in December when the winter weather final hit Maryland. There are a few nights when I go to bed before he gets home from a meeting and I didn't realize how much I love the fact that he warms up my side of the bed!

He's a great father and Eli enjoys every second they get to spend together. From his post below regarding their first adventure together, you can see that Aaron is doing all he can to make father/son memories with Eli. 

He's a one of a kind man and I'm so thankful to have him in my life. I often tell him I want to get married again because our wedding was such a perfectly fun day surrounded by everyone that we love. 

I could keep going, but I'll save the mushy stuff for my journal. ;)

XOXOXO

*Number 2 on the list says, "Don't drink from the carton." There have been a few times I've caught him sneaking a swig of milk from the carton. Hahaha...
