It's Valentine's Day. Fifteen years ago today, Michael proposed to me. It sure doesn't seem like that long ago. But, then again it doesn't seem like it could have been almost 23 years ago we had our first date, either.

We didn't really do anything for Valentine's Day this year. Caleb has been sick and neither of us really felt like it.

However, it was a good day. We hung out around the house all day. We gave the kids their Valentine's. I did some laundry. Michael went and got his allergy shot. He also went over to his mom and dad's house twice (the second time Michaela was with him) to see the puppy. Yes, my husband loves dogs.

Michaela practiced her recorder for a little while today. She's just started playing it so she's not very good, but it was still cool. As I was growing up I dreamt of being a mom and a wife and having my own family and having days like this. I dreamt of that more than anything else and now I'm living it. So, while we may not have done anything "special" for the day, I still loved the day because I got to spend it in my own home with my own family. I love my life.
