This Is the Month of Love...

It's hard to believe, that one Christmas could change someones life forever, but that's just what happened to me. Greg and I fell in love during the Holiday Season of 2003 making this our 6th Valentine's Day together 'In-Love', 5th as husband and wife and 2nd to share with our Aly-Girl! Where has the time gone? "Love is a many-splendored thing, Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living, Yes, true love's a many-splendored thing." (by: Frank Sinatra---a perfect way to put "LOVE" into a song, if you ask me!) God has been so good to me and given me an almost-perfect life with an ideal husband, Greg and a lifetime dream come true in little Alyson. Life really couldn't be much better...

I will always love you, Greg!
~Aly, Daddy and I both love you more than you'll ever know!
Happy Valentine's Day to my two Valentine's... XO

The Valentine Heart

Chocolate hearts, lace hearts, paper hearts of red and pink...hearts in supermarket ads, heart-shaped cookies, even heart-covered silk boxer shorts! ;-)On Valentine's Day, everywhere we look... we see hearts.
In early times, we're told the liver was the part of the body that symbolized love. But hearts have long been connected with the feelings of love.
After all... you can feel your heart beating faster when you're excited by seeing someone you love. That's probably how all this Valentine stuff began. :-)

However, scientists think that emotions actually begin in the brain. The part of the brain called the "thalamus", shows the most activity in tests, measuring an emotionally excited person. I'm pretty sure that placing a piece of brain on a Valentine card probably wouldn't thrill too many people. Certainly not me! ;-)

(BTW! Thanks to my wonderful hubby for the beautiful flowers and gifts... they were much more my style than brains and livers! LOL I love you, Baby!)

Come to think of it though, even a picture of a "real" heart with blood vessels and everything, isn't how I view romance either! I'm thinking we should just be glad we have the traditions that we have! Anyone else agree??? :-)

We'll be BLOGGING again in a few weeks...

! Happy "Hearts Day"
from Our Family to You and Your's !
