16 years ago today my sweet husband proposed to me. We hiked to the top of Eagle’s Crag outside of Zion National Park as the sun came up and agreed to spend eternity together. What a good decision that was! I love Valentine’s Day because I get to reflect on that blessed decision and the amazing years since. I love celebrating love. I love that I got to teach our preschool group this week (I’m in a co-op where I share the responsibility to teach with five other mom’s and so I teach once every six weeks), and our topic was “Love and Family” and “Mail and Post Office”. We read the book “The Seven Little Post Men”, made cards for a loved one and took a little field trip to a blue mail box where the children, with great ceremony, dropped their cards in. I love preschoolers because everything is so full of interest for them. That great big blue box was twice their size and more than one child asked what would happen to their letter, and how would the postman get it out?
We started our discussion about Love and Family like this:
Me: Can anyone tell me what holiday we will celebrate this week?
Sweet boy in our group: LOVENTINE’S DAY!
So, to all of you out there whom I love and who have touched my life, Happy Loventine’s Day!
