12 Days of Valentine, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

This is the photo that inspired me when making my wedding bouquet...

It's the final day, the 12th day...and it couldn't be more appropriate that this day I choose to thank you Jeff for your...

LOVE

You give it so freely, to everyone.

If this was the one thing Jesus really cared about asking us to do (appears in the NIV 551 times!), He's probably pretty pleased with you.

And the UNCONDITIONAL love you've shown me from the day we met, cannot be overlooked, nor can it be matched by anything.

This love shines through in everything you do. From the two jobs you keep, to the tireless way you come home from those two jobs & help me with the kids & the house & the chores that I should've had done by that time.

This love shows when you take your family to church every Sunday, and if we're so lucky to sit down during church, together, you never fail to put your arm around me & caress my shoulder.

That same love that inspires you to stay awake a little longer each night so that we can pray together.

It also is the same love that has cried with me in our sorrowful times...and has gushed with joy during the happy times of our life together.

It was in the look you gave me when the doctor told us Flynn was a girl, the look in your eyes when they laid Gabe on my chest.

In the tough times we've had together, it was the one constant. And despite the worries I may have had, everything else seemed to melt away with your regular display of love.

And on this, our 7th Valentine together, I hope you never doubt my love for you. It has not only kept from fading, it burns so brightly sometimes I'm sure I'm beaming. And it's because of you...

Happy Valentine's Day Jeff, I LOVE you!

Psalm 117:2 "For he loves us with unfailing love..."

Your 12 days have been so darn cute!! It seems as if you have a wonderful hubby and family. How fun to do a modeling gig. I once took my oldest to a casting call for a movie. It wasn't for us. My daughter is a drama queen so I thought she would be perfect but she was so dissapointed I didn't think we could do it again. Oh well.
As far as the kids cleaning the tables at school, it's not a sanitation they do. The janitors actually sanitize but it teaches the kids responsibility and cleanliness. Something like that?! Unless of course you go into an allergic reaction from something on the tables. Such fun for our allery kids. Needless to say they are not asked to do it. Have a Happy Valentines day.

I do! I do!

The cleaning the tables thing, I guess it's okay for responsibility, I just have a thing about my kids handling other peoples' germs.
I guess the allergy saves the day! (THIS time) :)

Thanks for all your info! Hope your holiday is good!!
