Joely, Daddy, Huddy Hoo, and Harris

My friend Mindi has inspired me to tell you why my Valentine (s) own my heart this Valentine's Day.

Joel - My most important Valentine...
14. He is dependable, he will ALWAYS stick to a schedule and even though he likes to make plans and time schedules days and weeks in advance you know he will be doing what is planned and at that same time will drop anything to help a damsel in distress even if that means not getting started mowing the yard at 8:00 a.m. sharp!
13. He can rig anything, I mean anything...
12. He can dress himself and do a good job at it!
11. He turns my heated mattress pad on an hour before we get in bed so that it's warm by that time.
10. He will put the dishes in the dishwasher and will always handle the yucky ones (the leftover food that I can't deal with) like it was no big deal.
9. He texts me every morning to see how my morning went getting everyone dressed and to school on time.
8. The first time I heard him talking to one of his patients (elderly) on the phone I perked up thinking,"What the....he doesn't even call me darling or sweetie!!??" but he explained that they need someone to treat them with care and love and that it keeps them trying harder to get better. The elderly lady population in Laurel is wrapped around Joel's finger, they love him and I'm proud to say that.
7. He is always telling my boys how nice, pretty and good I am to them.
6. He is good at banking, investing and details that I don't care to understand.
5. He watches "Real Housewives" with me and likes it.
4. He put a Valentine's Day card with a bag of beef jerky in my car this morning, he really knows the way to my heart.
3. He loves my family almost as much as I do and is always excited to hang out with them.
2. He loves his Momma.... a lot.
1. He loves me unconditionally all the time and I still look at him and think "he is so good-looking"

Harrison and Hudson
3. They always want to kiss me and love on me, in a nurturing way. They kiss my forehead, cheeks and nose or push my hair back behind my ears and say, "you're so pretty". (tear...thinking about this makes me tear up!)
2. They pick dandelions for me everytime we go outside.
1. They both love their mommy and I love how that feels!

Daddy
3. He brought me a cupcake in bed (warmed a little) when I stayed at their house and had the flu.
2. He always loads my car (boys included) when I'm leaving their house.
1. He still comes to my rescue for ANYTHING including a hanging bar in my little girl's closet.

Those are my special Valentine's this year and I am so thankful to have that many special guys in my life!
