Its the small things in life.

Its the small things in life that make me happy. I know Valentines Day is coming up and last year I posted how overrated I thought it was and I still believe the same way. However instead of writing about that again this year I thought instead I would write about the small things my honey does to show he loves me. See I think we shouldn't just wait until a holiday dedicated to love to show our love for the people who mean so much to us.

I love when Eric

• fills my car up with gas because he knows I hate it.
• helps me pack my lunch when I am running late in the morning, which is alot.
• unloads the dishwasher even when I didn't ask him to.
• eats Mexican food even though he is truly sick of it.
• changes his clothes 4 times in one day and leaves them on the chest at the end of the bed. I actually don't love that but it makes me laugh.
• knows Im having a bad day and just hugs me.
• understands how much my family means to me so loves their craziness.

Just a few little things that I love that Eric does for me that sometimes I overlook. I hope everyone enjoys their Valentines Day but also make sure you tell the people you love that you love them everyday not just Feb. 14th.

Friends

Friends are one of the greatest gifts we can be given. They make us smile when we are sad or let us vent when we need to get something off our chest. I am so grateful to have good friends. The truth is there are many different types of friends. There are the friends that you've had so long you don't remember a time when you weren't friends. Some friends you can pick right up with even if it's been months since you've actually talked. Then there's the friends that you have a connection with that regardless of the time and distance it always seems to be there. Living in a small town I feel like I have a lot of friends I dont see often but know they would be there if need be. It's a great feeling to know that there will be people there for you if you fall or that will be there to help you celebrate the good things in life. Friends love you for who you are and dont give a second thought to your flaws, or short comings. They are the best to laugh with, cry with, and talk with. They give you perspective, support, love, encouragement and sometimes criticism. I have been blessed to have many friends and even more blessed that I married my best one.
