Today was a fairytale

This is not a "my husband is the best husband in the world" post (although I feel I could argue a very strong case for it). 

I love when this day rolls around every year because I know that I will be showered with gifts. It's happened every year since I met my husband. My mom told me then, "Enjoy it now because as soon as you get married, all that will stop." Thankfully and to my great joy, it has not stopped at all. 

This post is also not a bragging rant about my gifts or flowers, while both are wonderful, they are not what I treasure most. 

Jesse is the best gift that I could have ever asked for and I am reminded of that in small ways every day but especially every February 14th. God knew that the little girl who watched Snow White on repeat and dreamed of a prince who would send a kiss by dove would grow up and need a man like Jesse. 

The roses while gorgeous will eventually wither away and the chocolates will no doubt not make it through the weekend but the way that my husband loves me and the way I love him will never lessen or fade. It only grows stronger each year.

So that's what today is all about for us. A chance to celebrate our love and how far God has brought us together. 

Happy Valentine's Day!
