My Valentine...

I waaas going to post about how I'm a Valentines hater.  In fact, I'd written the entire post.  It was slightly seething... buuut then, Valentines happened.  I got a little collection of perfectly thoughtful gifts from my dear mother.  I got a call from my very cutest little Californian cousins and aunt and uncle.  I got a lovely rose from an absolutely lovely lady in my ward.  I got a rose from my home teacher.  I got a Valentine from the little girl I nanny.  I got the very sweetest email from my daddy that made me cry a little bit.  I even saw "The Vow" with some of the greatest ladies I know... who also happen to be single ladies; superb women.. Oh! And I even got to talk to my favorite, and pretend-older-brother (but really my cousin) Brandon.  Glorious day.  So I quit hatin'.

Instead, I shall just post a video of who my imaginary Valentine was today.  His name is Johnny Flynn.  I have juuuust a little crush.  K, maybe a little bit bigger than a little crush.

Happy Valentines to you.



Grateful for: Allll the love in my life.

" 'By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another' (John 13:34-35) The love the Savior described is an active love.  It is not manifested through large and heroic deeds but rather through simple acts of kindness and service." --M. Russell Ballard
