Happy Valentine's Day, Rather Happy 10 Year Anniversary

We are not big Valentine's people. Brian and I subscribe to the theory that it is a Hallmark holiday. That said, with kids you have to embrace every holiday. Since we don't do presents and are not big fans of giving them candy, we are thankful for the parties and for my mom and Tina who gave the kids Valentine's presents.

Brian and I are also forced to acknowledge the day as something special since we met on Valentine's Day, 10 years ago today to be exact. For those who don't know, we sat next to each other on a plane from San Diego to Houston. I guess since it was Valentine's Day and neither of us talked about significant others, we figured it was fate. So that is hogwash, it wasn't fate and we both admit that neither of us were convinced we'd met our soulmate on that flight, but God intervened and kept us together despite our best efforts to not work out. So 10 "long years" later, as Brian likes to say, here we are. So Brian, not Happy Valentine's Day, but Happy 1st Day we met anniversary. I love you.

Here are pictures of the kids eating the puppies' birthday cupcakes.
