My Valentine

I know it is past the date, but I wasn't very on the ball earlier. I wanted to post this before the day but just never got around to it. Valentines day was fun to have the kids here but it snowed gobs. We were pounded with lot's of snow so we didn't really do too much. I was thinking though, that every day of the year is "Valentines Day" for me. For the past 27 1/2 years I have been blessed to live happily, for the most part, with mine. We have been through many challenges, ups and downs, and difficulties, but through it all we have remained committed and faithful to the covenants we made together with our Heavenly Father all those years ago. Calvin isn't the real romantic type, the way the world would view "romantic", but to me there is no one who understands me better, even though I accuse him sometimes of not understanding a thing about me! Let me explain. He is the man who after just a couple of months of marriage would come home from work to hold my hair up while I was throwing up (pregnant) and then go to Sizzler 3 times in one week so I could have the only thing I could stomach, a baked potato. He understood that I couldn't handle the smell of them cooking. He is the one who took our crying baby and walked with her so I could watch the "Miss America" pageant and get a little break in peace, or the many times he watched our kids so I could have some time just to myself to regroup and get my sanity back, at least temporarily. He is the man who bought me a Roomba (robotic vacuum) for Christmas. He knows how much I vacuum. It is just one of those things I have to do. I cannot stand to have dirty cluttered floors so I vaccum a lot. This sweetheart of mine researched and went from store to store to buy me a vaccum that does all the work I "need" to have done, so I don't have to. Isn't that romantic? He tells me I'm beautiful even when I am just home from a very sweaty workout. If I asked him to bring me the moon, I know he would figure out away to do it. He loves me more than anyone else and I am the luckiest girl in all the world to have such a man as my forever friend and companion. He did bring me beautiful roses for "Valentines Day," but he gives me much more through his support and love everyday. He gives me his heart and that is often shown through the things he does with his hands to help around the house, rub my feet, bless me, and make a living and a thousand other things. I love my Valentine!
