Monday Moods: I feel... full.


I woke up this morning to Tyler sneaking in the door to our flat,
 and walked in to find this on the table.





Sweet, sweet boy.

He made a recreation of our favorite breakfast at Paul Bakery,
 propped up with flowers, & a hilarious card...
that magically dropped out two tickets to Ray LaMontagne when I opened it.






I was left in the afterglow of feeling like
 the luckiest girl in the world
when my buzzer rang.

Up to my door came a giant box
with a dozen roses from my dad.

My consistent Valentine...

{who even adored me as a chubby, awkward adolescent.}





What did I do next?
I boo-hoo'd like a baby alone in my flat.

I just felt a little overwhelmed by the two great men in my life.

I know people are cynical of Valentine's Day,
but I'll never resent a holiday that reminds me to spoil my loved ones.

Whether it's your love, your dad, your friend, or someone who just needs to feel special-
use today as an excuse to show someone else they are loved.

Or maybe even make them cry, like me.

  2. Must confess...I'm a little choked up reading this post. I think you are a very lucky girl, too!!! I think that's what every girl deserves, but doesn't often get. I'm so happy you shared this.

    Can't imagine how your day could get any better, so just wishing you a Happy remaining Valentine's Day, Lauren!!!

    xoxo Elizabeth

  5. Wonderful!! Such thoughtful men - but clearly you inspire such adoration! Laughed out loud reading Tyler's card - my kind of humor. Don't think you'll be able to top your morning but hoping you have a wonderful rest of your special day!!

  7. How precious! You have a sweet and thoughtful hubby! I love that your dad sent you those roses too. I grew up with my dad bringing me flowers/roses on v-day too but that ended once I got married. LOL.

    My hubby and I are apart for this Valentine's Day so I'm enjoying some me-time at the spa, having a light lunch and a sweet treat later-a smores cupcake! :)

  17. I agree! I can totally see why some are turned off by V Day but I for one am all about holidays celebrating love. Especially when they involve wine and chocolate and maybe something sparkly ;)

    You're very lucky to have two such wonderful men in your life. I could also always count on flowers from my dad...someone you can always count on for sure.
