Happy Valentineā€™s Day @grow-pro šŸ˜˜

in #love ā€¢ 6 years ago

In a BLINK of an eye, we are on our 17th (YES-17th šŸ˜±) Valentineā€™s Day together.

I genuinely love all of the beautiful pictures that everyone has posted on here in honor of this holiday. Iā€™m being serious when I say this-not being a facetious biotch.
So many adorable images-they warm my heart.
However, Iā€™m taking a slightly different approach.
This one šŸ‘‡šŸ», my pic, depicts the everyday reality of love and life.

It IS NOT picture perfect.
As much as we all might want that flawlessly filtered existence, life just ainā€™t that way, folks.
Sorry, it just isnā€™t. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø
BUT, that doesnā€™t mean it canā€™t be fucking (pardon my French) beautiful! ā¤ļø
So, Iā€™ve decided to hilite on the real and raw.
17 years ago, Valentineā€™s Day was made up of jewelry and a personalized mix tape (ok, CD lol), 10 years ago it was flowers, wine and a beautiful card, and today itā€™s an amazingly timed pre-set pot of coffee, a back rub and a hand scribbled napkin love note.
Do we bicker day to day? šŸ¤¬ YEP
Do we have different viewpoints on things? Mmmm hmmm
Do I lose my shit when I see clothes on the floor outside of the laundry basket? Or a new toilet paper roll atop of an unchanged empty toilet paper roll? šŸ¤Æ
On the flip, do I await a resignation letter some days? šŸ¤£šŸ‘šŸ»šŸ‘šŸ»šŸ‘šŸ» I sure do!
(Honestly, thatā€™s 99.9% in relation to the Daddy Daycare job...stay-at-home parenting ainā€™t easy. Although, on rare occasion šŸ˜, Iā€™m no peach to be around either)
However, itā€™s the little things that keep it going.
Family group hugs, dancing in the kitchen, rewriting the most ridiculous lyrics to songs, coming home from work to a prepared dinner šŸ™ŒšŸ», a random clean load of laundry, reminiscing about the wilder days and experiencing our little humans growing into happy, healthy and compassionate young people.
Our love language has evolved. šŸ˜‰
Always remember that there is a time and a season for everything.
Life is messy, itā€™s chaotic, itā€™s serendipitous and itā€™s immensely beautiful!
Happy Valentineā€™s Day, Mr. Holsey! ā¤ļø

Itā€™s been a wild ride and Iā€™m glad weā€™re blazing this path together. Thanks for putting up with my shit for 17 years my dear, cheers! šŸ»šŸ˜˜
