Valentine's Day Visit with My Girlfriend and Her Daughter!!!

Miss Ely enjoying my old favorite stuffed animal!!

So this past Sunday I had the chance to spend some quality time with Miss Ely!!!!! It was amazing to see this beautiful face and have some good times of play, talking, and gift sharing. Gift sharing you might ask? This particular Sunday was the closest to Valentine's Day. I spent the morning at church in Washington and then went back with Ely and her grandparents to play with her toys and give out my Valentine's gift to her.

Her gift, as seen in this picture, was a stuffed dog named Wrinkles that I played with when I was Ely's current age. I gave her a story about this little boy and how he thought he had everything, but there was one thing he was missing. The one thing he was missing was a friend, and did not know where to find one. So for Christmas this little boy wanted a friend and his family had a great idea. They got him his very own friend, and stuffed dog that he took everywhere with him. This dog quickly became his friend and he wanted to show him off everywhere he went. Well, this boy became older and did not play with Wrinkles as much as he used to. I told Ely that this little boy was me and that Wrinkles needed a new owner that would take care of him like I did. Ely quickly smiled and agreed to watch over my friend and I played with Wrinkles one more time with Ely. 

I then got to see my amazing girlfriend after work in Jasper. Even thought it was for a short time it was great to see her wonderful self :-) ;-) I realized that she has a lot going on and we have not been able to talk as much. It has been emotional for me because Mandy is the love of my life and I love being able to hear from her as much as I can. I told my very amazing girlfriend that she resembles a gem to me and this treasure is something I will hold onto the rest of my days to come. I also gave Mandy her Valentine's gift, which was a customized M&M set with our first picture and messages that mean a lot to us.

I am very happy and amazed to have the most amazing girls ever. First, the most amazing, beautiful, and sweet little girl that could ever enter my life and to call her my own. Most of all, I now have the most amazing, beautiful, wonderful, and gorgeous girlfriend that I could ever ask for. Each day I wake up I realize how happy, amazed, and joyful I am to have the most amazing relationship in front of me. My message this month for my family is commitment... let us continue to stay committed to one another as we already have been since day one! I love my amazing family, my girls, my life!
