Happy Valentine's Day!

I’m feeling a lot of extra love this Valentine’s Day, maybe it’s just the hormones, but I’m more inclined to think it’s because of my wonderful, sweet husband, who surprised me at work today with not only 1, but 2 dozen beautiful red roses!

I know I’ve said this before, but I don’t think I can say it enough, falling in love with Richard was by far the best thing I’ve ever done in my life. I still can’t believe how lucky I am to have him, and my mission is to never take him for granted. He was a wonderful boyfriend, surprising me that 1st Valentine’s Day with a beautiful diamond necklace, thoughtfully hidden in my Philly apartment on his visit the weekend before. He helped me make the decision to pursue my passion instead of money in my post-MBA job search, which I am thankful for every working day.

Then he became a wonderful fiancé, actually doing things like cutting out “signature paper” and gluing it onto hundreds of tiny white boxes because it was my wedding vision. Never mind that he knew people would just throw the things away with barely a glance, he did it because it was important to me. And as a husband, he constantly showers me with love, warmth and security. My favorite moments of every day are the ones I spend cocooned in his arms, it’s always a perfect fit.

I’m so excited to experience this next phase of our relationship, Richard as a Dad. He already has done so much for little Eggy – between multiple trips to Baby furniture stores to setting up Eggy’s new closet to coming up with a great list of potential names (something I haven’t even done yet!). I can tell Eggy is always on his mind by the way he is constantly rubbing my expanding stomach to try to get a feel for Eggy’s little movements. He is going to be such an amazing father, he is so compassionate and generous, loyal and fair, and most of all he just has so much love to give.

Happy Valentine’s Day sweetie!
