Happy Valentine's Day Week

I heard of someone doing a Love Week

...sharing, thinking about and focusing every day on what it is we LOVE in our life. Well, I'm going to bring out the big guns on my first day of Love Week and share

what I love the most and have loved

the longest.

Don't think I'm being all romantic on you now ladies. Sometimes in our lives we take for granted the things we love the most. They are part of our life... right in front of us all the time... waking up, going to bed, always there... adding so many toppings onto our life's sundae. Sometimes it takes a jolt to have us step back and realize what we've got.

I've recently had that jolt.

I've always loved Jeff and known how blessed I was to have him as my partner and friend. I know his heart and his goodness. He is a wonderful man. I thank Heavenly Father for the miracles it took for our paths to cross way back when. We have definitely had our share of struggles and I'm pretty sure there are going to be more large mountains to climb together...

but this I know...

Heavenly Father wants us to be together, to have created a wonderful family with 4 of the greatest kids around. And part of the plan is for us to become like HIM. There is no other way to become perfect unless we are spouses and parents. What other way can we obtain those Christlike qualities than by doing what is the most selfless job on Earth? I am thankful to have had Jeff by my side, on this adventure of life

for the past 15 Valentines.

He's my #1 Valentine!
