The Daily Hailey

I know, the title is deceiving, since February is actually the shortest month of the year. But February holds a few big days for us.

In order…

February 7th is our anniversary! Brady and I will have been married for EIGHT YEARS! What exceptional years they have been! I love him more than I ever have before, and I am not just saying that. But I’ll talk about that more on the day.

February 11th isn’t exactly an occasion we do anything special for, but it was the date of Dekker’s eye surgery. Something I always remember, and feel grateful for. Significant, but not in a “let’s have a celebration” kind of way.

February 14th is Valentine’s Day!! I know I have some vday boycotters out there, and its fine if you don’t care for the holiday. I do like it, however 🙂 I have a husband who shows me amazing amounts of love every single day, and on Valentine’s Day, we just get a little bit sappier, haha!

February 23rd is Rowan’s birthday! He’ll be two, which is NUTS, but also pretty accurate. Just before Christmas, I couldn’t fathom Rowan turning two, but since Christmas he has gotten SO verbal, and his comprehension has jumped unbelievably high! He is definitely turning two!!!

I’ve looked back on the blog and on Facebook, and we haven’t really been able to celebrate our lovey holidays the last couple of years. Last year, we were sick as dogs all February (story of our lives) and the year before that, I was MASSIVELY pregnant with Rowan, lol, and not doing too much. I’m pleased that Brady and I have an evening away on February 6th this month, to go to a concert! It was supposed to be late last year but got postponed, and now is the time! I’ve been anticipating it, until recently when the wind was swept from my sails, and now to be honest, I don’t feel like going :/ BUT I think we should. I don’t want to sit at home and sulk. I want to go out with my husband and breathe some fresh air. So I will 🙂 I’m hoping to go on more dates this year. Its a resolution I’ve added to my short list a little bit late in the game. More dates. I don’t want to wait until we don’t like each other anymore to try to fall back in love. I want to roll with being very much in love, and keep going on dates and making special efforts. I have a VERY wonderful husband, and I’d like to take that man out and show him off once in a while 😉

Brady kicked off our full month by getting me a VERY exciting present! It arrived at our door this morning.

I KNOW! AN IPAD PRO!!!

I’ve been teasing and pestering him about this recently. I’m excited to take on more of a role in the officey side of his business this year, and I’ve been telling him I should obviously have my own “work device.” Call me crazy, but this is the most fun item I will ever get to write off at tax time! Hahaha!

Thank you, Brady, for the beautiful new rosey iPad, and trusting me to not mess up your financial reports. Thanks for accepting my weird bouts of weeping this afternoon, even when you surprised me with such a beautiful gift this morning. You get me, and I’m THRILLED I have you!
