While I have not been taking photos for the 2017 Tiny Moments February challenge, I do try to take photos of moments like these that make me smile or laugh. I love running across old photos and remembering the moment. I did say I wouldn't post this photo on Facebook, I never said I wouldn't write a mushy blog post about him on my blog that no one reads :) Look at how cute they are all snuggled up and fast asleep.
Today is Valentines Day and even though it's a made up holiday to get lovers to appreciate each other and unnecessarily spend money on flowers and chocolate, it's nice to have an excuse to celebrate. He's not really one to buy me flowers, but that makes it more meaningful to me when he does. Its rather funny that I caught wind of the surprise flower delivery via an email from UPS though. I never thought I was a big flower person, but in reality I love getting a bouquet of flowers, especially stargazer lilies, sunflowers, and roses.
Neither Mike nor I are perfect, but I'm glad we have made our relationship work. It definitely helps that we have similar values, have overlapping senses of humor, can compromise, and both make a consistent effort to tell and show the other person that they are loved and appreciated. We fight just like everyone else, but we learn about each other from them. Mike has added so much to my life and I'm so grateful that I can be myself around him. There are moments where we will leave from being around other couples who do things differently, our eyes will meet, and we will sigh or crack up. Never forget to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you, show them that you appreciate them, and do stuff together. Meaningful relationships, romantic or not, are so important.
