Valentines Day

I love Valentines Day!! I had the opportunity to do hair for a bridal party on Valentines Day. I arrived at the Noble's house at 6:15am ready to make Laura (the bride) the beautiful bride she already is. She was calm...kind-of, but excited for the day to get started. With a head full of curls and a huge smile on her face she was off to finish getting ready and I had the motb (mother of the bride) Cindy patiently waiting her turn, then the sisters, Mary and Amy, and last but not least Laura's roommate....I can't remember her name, but she is super cute...sorry. After heads were beautified everyone was off to the St Louis Temple to see Laura and her soon to be husband...I can't remember his name...ARG... I didn't do his hair so that is my excuse...Married for time and Eternity. I had so much fun. I have known Cindy since we moved to St. Louis. She is wonderful and kind. She is a colleague of Randy's and she loves to complement him on how amazing he is in the O.R. I don't get to see Randy in action so I take her word. She also made Maryn's blessing dress that I will treasure for a life time. I was so excited to be apart of Laura's wedding and to meet the rest of the Nobles. Good Luck Laura and Hubby. Thank you Cindy, we will miss you!!

After the wedding party I came home to my Valentine, Randy. He had the house picked up, the kiddos fed and entertained. He helped Mason and Maryn read their heart attacked bedroom doors, and shared their love fruit snacks.
I heart attacked Randy's car--May I say, I was very careful not to put tape anywhere, and I only did the inside of his car. Props to me...I really wanted to cover his car in hearts, but that would get me in the dog house, and Valentine's day would be banned from our house forever...NOT KIDDING.

That night we had the wonderful, responsible James Keetch watch the kiddos while we went to a couples night at the stake center. It was fun to go to the different workshops and get ideas of how to strengthen our marriage. We skipped the dance and grabbed soup at Bread Co. A quick call to James to see how the kiddos are doing--Maryn is passed out on the floor next to Mr. Potato head and Mason is on the computer playing video games. Our worries are put at ease and we ate our yummy soup in a bread bowl.

I love Valentine's Day. Not because "it is all about the women" Direct Quote from Randy and I remind him every year!!
I love it because I get to celebrate my love for those I care about in my own special way, and hear from Mason that his mom rocks because she put hearts all over his door:).
I love my husband, and the chance we have everyday to enjoy each other. I love my children, and the chance I have to love them everyday. I am blessed to understand the true meaning of love and the joy that I have in truly serving my family.
