feeling the love today

i'm sure everyone who is in love feels they are the luckiest gal/guy in the world. so what is it about my relationship that is so different? what is it that we share that is extra special? perhaps theres no difference, but to me its something exceptional. its the way he always holds my hand while hes driving, its the way he looks at me; its the way he takes things slow; the made-up language that we've formed; the way he calls me "dah-ling"; the way he always texts me to let me know he's working late; the way he loves scotch and chocolate; its the way he does, instead of says.. the love that we both share for traveling; the way he supports my hobbies (even those that are short lived); its how talented and confident he is; its the way he listens when i'm sad; the way he never yells or responds negatively; the way he helps me pay for things when he knows I'm struggling just to relieve some stress; its the trust; its the way he always says "i love you" and "good-night" before falling asleep; its the way we laugh; the home we've made together; the way he always makes me feel safe...

the list never ends. he is perfect, perfect for me. there is no other guy on this planet that could ever live up to his standard. yes, i am a lucky gal and he is a lucky guy. we are two lucky ones to have what we share.

three years

happy anniversary to my nearest and dearest

a little breakfast love

good morning!

and happy valentines day to you.

this morning i woke early to cook taylor french toast

as part of his valentines day gift

but not just any french toast - french toast made from fresh, buttery croissants!

i got the idea a week or so ago from one of my favorite food blogs, food coma blog

valentines day is a sweet day; a day to show that special someone just how dear they are

the boy and i like it simple on this day - a sweet note and extra hugs in the morning

are enough to make this gal happy

....and a yummy breakfast!

and okay, a few little gifts don't hurt...

but as long as theyre little...and thoughtful

hope you have a beautiful day!

cooking from the boy

taylor has really been on one lately

and i ain't complaining!

last week i came home to a cooked meal, 

him sitting at the table with two plates covered, 

waiting for me to come home so we can eat together

and a load of laundry done.

yesterday i had a long day and was starving and exhausted

and so i came home to a firing grill

and the smell of roasted asparagus in the oven (our favorite!)

the boy was making me dinner!

it was a sweet gesture and the meal was terrific

we laughed some good laughs and drank some good wine

 here are a few good quotes from the night

"mmm, i can taste the sea in the salt!" (taylor, in reference to the sea salt)

"it tastes like a film noir in my mouth" (taylor, in reference to the wine)

this is reason number 125,129,104 why i love him so much
