Happy Valentine's to my sweetie

Oh my, I am still sooooooooooooooo in love with my sweetie. To other couples out there: do whatever you can to get through the rough spots because the payoff in the end is well worth it. Or at least it was for us.

I think back to the heart-fluttering flowers-and-butterflies angst of early love in our relationship and can't help but smile. There was a time when I missed it.

But now? Now I know it was just the appetizer.

Happy Valentine's Day, my love.
