Valentines day

So today is Valentines Day, and even though we are all persuaded to buy (literally) into the whole thing, Chip and I choose not to. Don't get me wrong, I love flowers, chocolates, and a sweet card that makes me swoon; but luckily we give each other these things many times throughout the year, "just because". About a month ago Chip came home with a gorgeous purse and matching wallet that I had been eying for some time now. He told me to turn around and "don't peek". He turned me around with my eyes closed, kissed me, and said this is just because I love you so much. Last week Preston and I went to the mall while Chip was at work. We went and picked out a new pair of jeans, a Texans t-shirt, and Chip's favorite cookies for him. We also got a just because card and told Chip just how much I appreciate and love him. He loved it.

We don't believe that one day out the year is the day you are suppose to appreciate each other, we try to do that everyday. Of corse that does not always happen, but we do try.

But seeing as how today IS Valentines Day, I want to make this post about us, in our own way. So I compiled a short list of things Chip and I 100% agree on and some that we don't so much.

Pillow/Bed Sharing
If we are in bed and Chip asks me where his pillow is and it is not given to him in a very short amount of time he will take mine. (Not while I'm using it of corse). I think this is awful. No ones head should be laying on YOUR pillow other than your own. I also have a very firm belief that bed laying should only be done in clean pjs on clean bodies.

"Lockup"
This is our favorite show, ever. When we tell people about this show Chip and I begin talking way to fast, using hand gestures, and using words like "oh my gosh" and "seriously! It's the best!"

Interior Decorating
I don't think we will ever agree on this topic. If it was up to Chip the only thing in a house would be leather furniture, obnoxiously large TVs, and TV dinner trays.

Traveling
We both have an extremely large desire to travel all over. Although we are hindered currently with a small child and lack of funds, our huge dreams suffice our wants.

Mexican Food
Lets just say it might have been a deal breaker for us if either of us was not a fan. Mexican food is where it's at.

Video Games
No explanation needed.

Love Language
This is my favorite. I love that we both agree on talking to one another in a loving way. We try to give each other affirmations everyday, and to remind each other just how lucky we both feel.

All in all, I wouldn't change us for anything. What we have just works. We have our fair share of arguments, but we always come out of it with a new understanding of one another.

Happy Valentines Day Babe, I love you.
