My Sweet Valentine

My amazingly handsome and sweet husband,

Yesterday was Valentine's Day, and I know you may be a little disappointed with the way things turned out, but I wanted you to know that I think it was one of our best yet. I remember the first Valentine's Day we spent together 6 years ago. You and I spent a romantic evening on the golf course with the most AMAZING food. Then there was the year we spent on the floor of our brand new house, eating a pizza while we emptied boxes. We had spent all of our money moving our little family out of the ghetto after a too close incident with a drive by shooting. All we could afford was a pizza. Then there was this year. I know you had the most amazing trip planned for us, and I know how badly it hurt you to have to cancel when we ended up spending those funds to pay off an old bill. But I want you to know, that this Valentine's Day, I felt more love than I have ever possibly felt in my whole life.

After getting up at 2:30 in the morning and spending nearly 12 hours working your butt off to put food on the table and a roof over our head, you rushed to be by my side. I know you were exhausted, but you went on to unload 1600 boxes of Girl Scout cookies from the van and car into a cafeteria. THEN, you helped me sort them into 12 different orders, and loaded each one of those orders into parents vehicles. I have to admit, I was happy to get the help. But it wasn't until my mom pointed out what you had done, that I finally realized just how amazing you are.

Even though it was getting late, and you were tired, you continued to put all of us first. You hopped in the shower and we were off to a dinner with the kids. Hot wings! Not exactly what we had in mind for a romantic dinner, but it was absolutely perfect. You then wanted to make sure that the kids knew how much we love them... at almost 9 o clock at night you rushed to the store to get them the pillow pets they've been drooling over for the last 6 months. Not to mention taking the time to write me the most beautiful and touching message inside my Valentine's Day card. By the time you made it to bed it was nearly 11pm. Only to have to wake up at 8:30 in the morning and drive overnight to Salt Lake.... all because you love us.

I want you to know how much I love you. I have been so incredibly blessed to be your wife for the last 6 years. We've gone through so much, and I feel closer to you now then ever before. Every bump along the road has made us who we are today. Thank you so much for putting so much work into this marriage and never giving up on us. I cannot wait until we able to seal our family together for all time and eternity. You mean the world to me. I love you from the very depths of my soul.

Your Undeserving and loving wife,
Kim
