A little bit of love

Today is the day. THE day. The day to show someone how much you love them. To some it is cheeeeesy and to others- it is the highlight of their year to see what their significant other is getting them.

Kevin and I made an agreement to keep it simple this year. I got him 2 new remote control helicopters- and he got me a gun. And an engagement ring.

Clearly I need to shape up to be in contest with him!! :(

I am reminded every year how this year can be SO awesome for some people- and SO terrible for others. Shout out to all my singles out there- Just go get you your own present and spend some money on something you want. Retail therapy is always the best medicine!

Every year I get flowers from my Momma for 2 holidays: my birthday and Valentine's day. I have been getting them since I was in grade school- and that is a long time people! That is my highlight.

I am reminded today of all the things that I have grown to love- I thought I would share them with you. Some are funny- some are sweet- and well- some are just silly- to you.

Enjoy- and what would be on your love list?
In no particular order:

• Mt. Olive pickles- not the brand Kevin likes that smells yuck
• Talks with my Deddy about how to do stuff
• sweet kisses from my dogs- but only when I ask for them- bc they breath be rank.
• When students I have worked with still communicate with me- and ask for my advice
• Sugar Free Vanilla Jello Pudding in the cup
• Being able to text a select handlful of friends that I don't see often and we pick right back up where we left off
• Flowers from my momma- every year.
• Sleeping past 9am
• Making something people think is pretty
• Not having to wash my hair everyday. Can I get an amen?
• Mint green. Seafoam Green. Teal.- be still my heart.
• Peanut butter m&ms. I dont want any other kind.
• Sour patch kids.
• Gummi worms, bears, and whatever else gummy candies.
• My horseshoe necklace I got in memory of my sweet Winnie.
• Flossing my teeth. Everyday. I make my dentist's job easy.
• Peeptoe any shoes
• Homemade labels
• a really old pair of gray sweat pants that Kevin calls my doo-doo sag pants because they are rather large
• New reclining loveseat
• Fuzzy socks to lounge and sleep in
• Vera Bradley
• fake jewelry
• My engagement ring- it was seriously created for me
• Old school popsicles- blue green and pink please
• trips to Hobby Lobby, Michael's, and Joann- My version of heaven looks like this
• I am a sucker for a Kids meal
• My momma's biscuits with her homemade frozen strawberry jelly
• and last but not least- Kevin Paul Pope. He is what I love most. After Jesus. It should be noted that Mowgli has been demoted to 3rd place- so this is a big deal.

That is the love list right now. Clearly I am a FATTY at heart. Oh well.  Happy Valentine's Day y'all.
