Valentine's Day has never been huge in my book of holidays. Sure it was nice to get chocolates or flowers and my dad always got me something as a little girl. However, I'm not the type of girl that EXPECTS anyone to ever go all out for February 14th. I could take it or leave it, really.
However, in honor of the day of love, I thought I would dedicate this post to the man I love.
*********************************************
Jason - "healer"Here are some reasons that I love him in no particular order:
1. He is a great dad. Being with the girls for 5 minutes while they play with him makes that entirely obvious. I know Jace will be one of the luckiest little boys to have such a great male role model.
2. He can sing. :) I love when he sings to me - he does this at least once a week.
3. He may work a 12 hour day, but still comes home and helps out with dinner, dishes, or the girls.
4. His favorite thing in the summer is to take the girls and I to the park and play "jailhouse" at 8 pm.
5. He will get up early & drink coffee with me!
6. He really is the guy version of my personality - when we set our minds to something we see it through until the end; if we are stressed we like to exercise; we both enjoy doing "kid" things like having snowball fights.
7. He makes me get up early so we can read our Love Dare book and pray together.
8. No matter how I look he always tells me I'm beautiful.
9. He makes time for us and never lets a misunderstanding go longer than a few minutes.
10. He tells me no. Yes - this is a good thing. ;)
11. My world could be falling apart, but having his arms around me immediately makes the world right again.
12. He knows when something is wrong - even if he is miles away. He keeps me accountable and doesn't let me "think" too much.
13. He will wrestle with Avery for an hour even after a long day at work.
14. He can do the girls hair! :) :) :) This is a HUGE thing!
15. He's a gentleman. He still opens and closes the door for me.
16. He doesn't take life too serious. I joke or tease and he does it right back.
17. He's great at social settings and can talk to just about anyone about anything.
18. He will get out of bed to get me whatever pregnancy craving sets in for the night.
19. He likes to do his own thing and definitely isn't tech savvy.
20. He puts up with me! :)
These are just 20 of the bazillion reasons that I love Jason. I celebrate my love for him everyday - not just once a year - and embrace every minute that I have with him.

My hope for the girls is that they find a love like the one Jason and I share. I enjoy being able to show them the kind of relationship that they deserve. I'm sure they will go through as many heartbreaks as I did, if not more. However, my wish is that they continue to hold out until they share a love like this with someone like Jason.
Happy Valentine's Day 2010!
