Happy Valentines Day! Here's to all types of LOVE ♥

Once every year this day comes around when you see an overload of "I love you's" and pictures show up on your Facebook wall or in emails, stores and advertisements. It's that one day a year when a lot of woman expect their man to do something awesome for them and buy them things like candy and stuffed animals and flowers etc. But when you really sit down and think about it. Everyone makes Valentines Day all about the "love of their life" the romantic type of love. Today alone I have seen so many girls post about how much they hate this day and how stupid it is. It shouldn't be just about a romantic type of love though. It should simply be just about LOVE. Love for everyone. Tell your mom you love her, and your dad, tell your sibling, your grandma, your grandpa, and your bestfriends. Show your love through your actions. Do something nice for someone who seems to be having a rough day. Let your love shine through you as you walk past people by just simply smiling at them. It makes me sad to see how upset girls get about not having a boyfriend on this day because that shouldn't be what it is all about. That isn't what it's all about but unfortunately that is what society leads us to believe. In all honesty, it's just a silly, fun holiday. Showing someone important in your life that you love them should be an everyday thing no matter what they date is.

 My Little Love Story

I use to be one of those girls who thought that I needed flowers and an amazing night all set up for me by the guy I was with. Jesse Marion changed that opinion of mine though and without even realizing that he did. In the time that I have spent with this amazing man he has taught me so much about life and love. Jesse and I worked together in the Outdoor Program (OP) for almost 2 years and it was nothing more than that. When I did start to have feelings for him though, it was to say the least, very unexpected. We started working out together and going on OP trips together and we hit it off like something I can't even explain. I had just recently got out of a long term relationship so though there were some sparks, I was not looking for and wanted absolutely nothing of it. Long story short, he won my heart over like crazy. I thought in the beginning when he would do things like help me clean my house, take my dog on a walk when I didn't have time to, or give me full body massages and draw me a bubble bath after lighting candles, putting on my favorite country music and making me tea, that all of this stuff was just him trying to impress me (and it was working but I could see through it.. Or so I thought). In my eyes, it was too perfect for him to last more than a few months. But boy was I wrong. I defiantly made him work for it seeing as how it was months before I actually let him call me his girlfriend but after not only him proving me wrong about what I thought he true intentions were at first, he continued to prove me wrong about how long I thought he would last. He still to this day, almost a year and a half later, does those things for me and more. He makes me feel loved and like I am the most special girl in the entire world on a daily basis. He is literally everything I could have ever dreamed for and more. So weather he has something special planned for tonight or not, weather I get flowers and chocolate tonight or not. I am completely content. I truly could not be any happier than what he makes me. This man is my solid rock. My everything. I cannot imagine life without him. And don't get me wrong, it's not just because of the surface things that he does for me. The relationship we share is something so incredibly special it's almost unreal. I can be so open with him about things I never thought in my life I would share with anybody and he listens. We talk about our pasts, our future, our family, our worries, our fears, our goals, our ambitions, what we believe in, what we don't, what our religious beliefs are. He values family and is a strong believer in Christ. He is my other half. My bestfriend. The love of my life. I have not the slightest bit of doubt that this man is who I am going to spend the rest of my life with and I cannot wait to see where life takes us on this awesome journey called "life" together ♥
