LOVE

Dear Elijah,

This weekend is a BIG weekend for us :) Actually, this past week has been pretty big since we met with the birthing coach, and scheduled our tour of the hospital you will be born in. I'm so excited! I haven't felt nervous yet, just anxious to see you! Today was the beginning of a fun filled weekend for your daddy and I. We are celebrating Valentines Day BIG!!! We wanted to really get into it since it's our first Valentines Day as a married couple, and we have taken to celebrating as many things as we can! Life is a celebration :) We both believe that there is so much to be thankful, and joyful for. So on a day like Valentines Day, we say... LET'S DO IT! Heehee... Not that we don't celebrate our love every single day, but we love the fun a day like this can bring when you jump in head first! Hahaha. So I got out my red apron, and made your daddy breakfast this morning. Then we went to the place your daddy proposed to me! I almost cried because one, I'm emotional these day, and two, this place brings me back to that day he asked me to marry him, and I was so happy! It's special... Next we went to play cards at Starbuck, that Starbucks being the one we went to right after getting engaged! Finally we went to the beach to eat our Busy Bee sandwiches, and lay out in the sun to talk and cuddle. It was so much fun. We also read the bible together, and were reminded of our wedding day when your Grandpa Jim read "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." That's in 1 Corinthians 13. We want you to know that kind of love, and if you know Jesus, you will know what true love is. That's so comforting. We seriously can't wait to share our faith and love with you Elijah! LOVE YOU! HAPPY VALENTINES WEEKEND!!!
