I love Valentine's Day. It has always been one of my favorite holidays. Even when I've been single, I've loved it. I remember a few years that Rebekah and I exchanged Valentine gifts and those were fun times. To me it doesn't have to be a day just for romantic love but any love! So in honor of this day, I'll list things that I love:
1) I love being married to Brent LeGrand Adamson! He is truly my best friend and I couldn't be happier! He makes me smile everyday. My favorite place to be is with him. I thought a baby would change marriage and how I feel about Brent, and it did. It made me love him more, in a way I can't describe, and appreciate him more too. He is the best daddy and husband in the world.
2) I love being Elijah's mommy. I must admit there was a time not long ago if you would have asked me if I love being a mom, I would have said no. But now, I do love it! I love him so very much. His smiles melt me. We found something that makes him less fussy so we get to enjoy our time together a bit more. He loves to talk and smile and complain. He is the cutest kid ever. He is worth all 50lbs that refuse to leave me.
3) I love being a part of our church. I'm grateful daily to have the gospel in our lives. We aren't perfect at it but I love that because of it I have the knowledge that I get to be with Brent, Elijah and our future kids for forever. And even better the Eaton's and the Adamson's too.
4) I love my parents and my siblings. My parent's have always worked hard and I appreciate them for this. My siblings and now their spouses have become my best friends. And my nieces and nephews are my most favorite people. Sheesh, the are cute!
5) I love my "other" family, the Adamson's. They are really great people who I feel completely comfortable with now. It's been really easy being part of their family. And I'm sure eventually I'll talk the siblings in to being some of my best friends too.
6)I love having friends near and far. Most of my best friends live far away but I love catching up with them. I love hearing about their exciting lives (that would Candice) and seeing their cute kids (that would be Lindsay).
7) I love the Internet! It's true, I think it's amazing. Pinterest is awesome, Facebook is awesome.
8) I love to read. I don't do it so much right now but I still love it. Elijah doesn't like when I try to read when I'm holding him. And he likes to be held a lot so reading isn't happening now.
9) I love love love a clean home. I'm a bit of a freak about it. I know this but a clean home makes me happy. I realized I might be a little obsessed when my soap dispenser in my bathroom was filled with the wrong soap. It was filled with orange dial soap and I always fill it with clear soap because it is see through. It lasted 2 days before I made a dash to the store to buy more clear soap.
10) I love modern technology, especially my cell phone. It's crazy to think about when I was in high school and even college not everyone had a cell phone. I was maybe 24ish before I got a cell phone. And I resisted it at first. Same with GPS, I remember when I use to have to mapquest everything. Oh, how times have changed.
I could go on about things that I love. But I won't. I hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day! I know I will. We have no plans tonight, we celebrated on Sunday but just being home with my boys and Elle and Jack sounds perfect to me.
