Valentine's Day....

I've been trying to think of something creative (& inexpensive) to do for Matt for Valentine's day. Today at momspace we had a speaker that spoke about marriage and how we should choose to love & uplift our significant others (without expecting anything in return) instead of picking apart all the things that drive us nuts or constantly needing to prove that we're right (not that I'm guilty of ANY of those things...wink-wink) , which in the grand scheme of things don't even matter. She said it far more eloquently than I did...I totally butchered what she said...but then again that's why she was the speaker & not me! Anyhow, I was inspired by that & decided to write him an open love letter on this blog to shout from the rooftops how much I do love & appreciate him even though I probably show it poorly more often than not! And to those of you giggling at my cheese-balliness, I know, I know...this is a totally corny thing to do, which makes it all the better!! Let's just hope he actually reads my blog like he tells me him does!

The reasons I love Matt
by: his loving wife
1. He will eat anything I make...even when I ruin perfectly good steaks by topping them with bleu cheese. (which looked really good on the food network.)
2. He is the one person I could send the following text message & he'd actually be happy to get it; "Easton pooped in the toilet all by himself!!"
3. He didn't get upset when I let Easton fall asleep in our bed & he then peed on his side of the bed cuz I forgot to put a diaper on him. (oops!!)
4. We can laugh (usually) about our financial woes...after all we did get to meet "The Woz".
5. He makes yummy turkey burgers, from stratch.
6. He knows (almost) all the words to the Yo Gabba Gabba songs, which makes Easton VERY happy. Go Go Go Go Daddy!
7. He watches the Real Housewives of Orange County with me. As Vicki would say, "WOOOO-HOOOOO!" Although, I think Tamra is our favorite.
8. He sets aside time to spend with Easton, just the two of them, to do boy stuff. How cute is it that when we drive past any Home Depot Easton says, "There's Home Depot...that's where I go talk to Daddy!"
9. He laughs at all my knee-slapping jokes...even though sometimes he tries to act like it's not all that funny, he's bad liar & it shows!! I'm funny...you know it!
10. There's a million and one more reasons why I love you (some of which I rather not share with the world, ya know, just in case our moms are reading this!! haha! There I go being funny again!) But seriously I do love & appreciate you in an immeasurable amount. I admire you & all your hardwork & sacrifice it's taking to finish school. And even when I don't say it, remember, I'm always your biggest fan. xoxo..Lw
