My Valentine...

Today on my way home from working out I stopped at Starbucks. When I pulled up to the window our friend, Brian aka: "Mr. Bwian at Stawbucks" asked if I had a photo of my husband Brian with me. It wasn't a totally random question. Every time we go to Starbucks Jada talks with the Starbucks crew...they like her and give her oatmeal raisin cookies. Mr. Bwian was trying to tell the rest of the Starbucks crew how much Jada and Brian look alike....long story to say that it got me thinking about Brian and wondered why I don't have a photo of him in my wallet anymore. He is so great and I think we (as wives) get going in life without stopping to think about how blessed we are!

At the risk of being cheesy and although Valentines came and went...I want to take the opportunity to tell you why I am so glad Brian is my husband and I'm really glad he chose me...Top 20 things: oh...and I am going to get some wallets made of me and Brian :)
