Happy HAPPY Valentine's Day, friends!!!
I've always loved Valentine's Day and an extra excuse to tell the people that I love how much I love them and the candy ain't bad either :) I'm helping out in both boys class parties today, they're BEYOND excited to pass out their Pokemon treats and I'm just hoping that nobody does anything super awkward in middle school. hahaha
It's Show and Tell Tuesday and we're talking about our LOVES!!! I'm going to take the opportunity to do a quick "reintroduction" of my four FAVORITE people in case any of y'all are new and would like the cliffnotes version of who hangs out at my house :)
Dave and I have been married for 11 years, but together for 17. Yes.... 17 years. (It will be 18 this Fall which BLOWS MY MIND!) I was a 15 year old Sophomore in high school and Dave was a newly-16 year old Junior and we fell in love over fried mozzarella sticks at Black Eyed Pea :)
Well, we didn't fall in LOOOOOVE over the cheese sticks, but he definitely asked me to a movie and then we went TP-ing together and have pretty much been inseparable ever since.
We got engaged and married in 2005 (look at those BABIES!) and the rest is history!
There is NO ONE more selfless, giving, patient and caring!
Luke will be 9 this April and he may just be the smartest person I know. He is a great big brother, a wonderful friend and cute as a freaking button. He is a voracious reader, a lover of learning about EVERY THING and has about zero patience for having his picture taken :)
Mason will be 6 this April and is a Kindergarten rockstar. He loves a laugh (both giving and receiving), is feisty on the sports field and is NOT a morning person (like his mama). He loves to create, idolizes his big brother and has a compassionate side well beyond his 5 years.
Griffin will be 4 this April (seeing a theme here?) is a lover of all things pink, can eat her weight in cheese and has the sweetest little maternal side you ever did see. She was the biggest and best surprise EVER and is counting down the days until she starts Pre-K
So there you have it! My LOVES!!!
I'm excited for y'all to link up below and share a little bit about your loves!
Griffin being the biggest surprise ever just made me giggle. I remember that day like it was yesterday. :)

I LOVE y'alls love story! That is a long time to be together (for being so young) and you two seem to do it beautifully. Have fun at the boy's parties! Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteSweet little descriptions! I still remember exactly where you were sitting and exactly what your face looked like when you told us that G was going to be a girl!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day, friend!! Sweet descriptions of your precious family! Xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post!! My husband and I met in HS too except there was a 3 year break in there afterwards, but still, it's crazy to think how long we've known eachother!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day! How fun to be helping in your kiddos classrooms today. And what a day to be a MS teacher :)
ReplyDeleteI always LOVED being in the classroom for parties. You really do look like such a baby in those early pictures. That youthful look you have will serve you well😉. Griffin and I might just be cheese soul sisters. I knew I liked that spunky little girl. Beautiful family, Andrea❤️
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet love story you have with your family! Thanks for letting us all in and sharing the love in this small little blog world, too! You are such a champion for mommas and there is nothing I love more than women lifting each other up! Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteMy sweet girl is in the band as well, and so is her boyfriend...I loved your love story. I think we live in the same town! ;) or you are from the town we currently live in!! Love it here in McK!
ReplyDelete17 years, wow! Love the throwback pictures. Your kids are just the cutest and how funny they all have April birthdays. Happy Valentine's Day :) Beautifully Candid
ReplyDeleteSo, what you're saying is, April is a really slow month for you. :-) Wowza!!
