My Valentine

I'm a couple days late to the party, but this is the only amount of "social media" I'm a part of so every once in awhile the sappy posts are necessary.

6 years ago on Valentine's Day Caleb was in Afghanistan and Casen and I were alone in California.  He was heading out for a mission and I wouldn't talk to him for awhile, but that didn't phase him.  He still made sure to let me know he loved me and took the time to plan ahead even while literally being in the middle of a war.  Around 9pm on the 14th this beautiful arrangement came to my door.

Fast forward to Valentine's Day 2018.  He's still working super hard, 12 hour midnight shifts, still in harm's way.  And he remembered.
He remembered how special those flowers were to me and he had the same ones sent to our front door that morning while he was busy in court.

And my day didn't even end there.  He knows me the best.  He knows social anxiety basically rules my life and the thought of going to a gym surrounded by people would most likely keep me up at night and i'd probably end up sitting in my car in the parking lot.  I've been working out at home pretty religiously for 2 years now and we've slowly but surely been adding to my baby home gym.  He checked a gigantic need off my list!  And he even did all the research so I didn't have to and found one piece that fits lots of my needs.

Box jumps without falling over here I come!

Then thankfully he was off so we got to spend the rest of the evening together.  We made our first attempt at guacamole and it turned out amazingg. 

Thanks for knowing me best.  Thanks for staying up late finishing our latest puzzle and beating me in darts.  Thanks for sitting through my scary drs appointments this year.  Thanks for taking me to Sonic when you know I need it.  Thanks for wandering Target with me.  Thanks for being the best dad to our babies.  Thanks for making fried rice and sharing First Cut with me.  Thanks for always being up for watching Smallville...again. Thanks for working a really hard and most of the time thankless job because it's what's best for our family. Thanks for the incredible amount of laughs we've already had this year.  But most of all, thanks for being you and loving me.
