In a BLINK of an eye, we are on our 17th (YES-17th š±) Valentineās Day together.
I genuinely love all of the beautiful pictures that everyone has posted on here in honor of this holiday. Iām being serious when I say this-not being a facetious biotch.
So many adorable images-they warm my heart.
However, Iām taking a slightly different approach.
This one šš», 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 aināt that way, folks.
Sorry, it just isnāt. š¤·š»āāļø
BUT, that doesnāt mean it canāt be fucking (pardon my French) beautiful! ā¤ļø
So, Iāve decided to hilite on the real and raw.
17 years ago, Valentineās 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 itās an amazingly timed pre-set pot of coffee, a back rub and a hand scribbled napkin love note.
Do we bicker day to day? š¤¬ 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? š¤Æ
On the flip, do I await a resignation letter some days? š¤£šš»šš»šš» I sure do!
(Honestly, thatās 99.9% in relation to the Daddy Daycare job...stay-at-home parenting aināt easy. Although, on rare occasion š, Iām no peach to be around either)
However, itās 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 šš», 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. š
Always remember that there is a time and a season for everything.
Life is messy, itās chaotic, itās serendipitous and itās immensely beautiful!
Happy Valentineās Day, Mr. Holsey! ā¤ļø
Itās been a wild ride and Iām glad weāre blazing this path together. Thanks for putting up with my shit for 17 years my dear, cheers! š»š
There is no other human Iād rather spend my life with. I love you more and more (proud of u for the Steemit post...Iām slackin!)
