In the two weeks leading up to Valentine's Day, Jeremy and I celebrate "Valentine's Day Season." It's kind of like the Christmas season except we watch romantic movies, leave each other little gifts (like Secret Santa) and I decorate a little bit around the apartment!
It's fun to discover little hidden goodies from my sweetie: a Milka on the coffee maker in the morning; a candle in my purse.
I pinned "100 Ways to Make Your Marriage Rock" on Pinterest and it's really inspiring! I always wanted to be a wife that left her husband little notes, random gifts, etc. But, after 4 years of marriage I usually forget to do those things (not that I love J any less or am any less thrilled to be married to him!). I think doing Valentine's Day Season is a good way to consciously do those things and look for little things he would like.
A few things I would like to implement off the list are to frame our wedding vows and to work on just "being together" (taking a break from cell phones, etc.). When Jeremy and I were dating, sometimes he would take his cell phone out of his pocket and just turn it off. I remember how special and respected that made me feel, and that's how I want to make him feel!
Last night, we had our Valentine's Day dinner at Bistro Campagna, which was so nice. Today, my Valentine surprised me with orchids and my favorite wine!
Words cannot describe how blessed I am to have married Jeremy. He is the sweetest, most patient, and selfless husband I could have asked for. Sometimes I still can't believe God helped me find someone as perfect for me as he is!
Like all girls, I always hoped I'd find the man of my dreams. I found the man who is BETTER than my dreams! I am the luckiest girl in the world.
