Love

Happy Valentine's Day! I love this holiday. I know many people feel that it's a Hallmark holiday, and maybe it is, but I think it's fun! It's fun to creatively express your love to others and have a whole day dedicated to it. Kurt and I never go crazy or overboard, but we do try to make it special. This year Matthew and I made Kurt a card and I baked him a cake - it's the little things. :)

Yesterday I was reminded just how important expressing one's love is. Kurt was in a car accident. He's fine and there was very little damage to the car (and it wasn't his fault, so our insurance rates won't be going up!) Kurt called me right after it happened and said "I was in a car accident". My heart dropped. In that second I realized how precious life is. If the other driver had been going a little faster or swerved a little harder, well, I don't even want to think about it. Thank God he's ok. His angels were definitely with him on 114 yesterday. I am so in love with that man for so many reasons and I realized yesterday that it shouldn't take him getting into a car accident or a Hallmark holiday for me to tell him just how important he is to me. So with that, I challenge you to remind your loved ones how important they are to you and why without being prompted by a car accident or a holiday (or birthday, anniversary...you get the picture).

In Matthew news: he got his second tooth today! He loves having his little tooth (now teeth) brushed...so that's great because I've heard that that can be a challenge. I can't believe that in less than 6 weeks he will a year old! Time has gone by so quickly - it's so true when everyone says "don't blink or you'll miss it". We finally got a jogging stroller. Matthew loves to go for walks and get outside, but our stroller was terrible. I'm excited to start running again and I think Matthew will really enjoy it. Here's to finally getting back into shape :)
