Loved

Yesterday, as I hopped off of the treadmill and came upstairs, I was greeted with an incredible number of post-its notes over every surface of the house. They were everywhere! Walls, counters, cupboards, tables, books, pictures, doors, mirrors...you name it, they were on it. And as I looked closer I realized every single one of them had a reason that I was loved. Jacob had filled out an unreal number of them and the kids had tried their best to catch up to him. I don't have the words to tell you how much I loved it or how much it meant to me.

Below is just a small sample. And the picture isn't to focus on the actual kind things my family wrote, although I'm beyond grateful and it brought me to tears, but just to show you how loved I felt and how thankful it made me to be the proud wife and happy mom to the five people I love most in this world. Honestly, I told Jacob an expensive piece of jewelry or a car or a trip around the world wouldn't mean more to me than my sticky note attack. And I wasn't even remotely kidding.

Best. Valentine's. Gift. Ever. Hands down.
