Valentine&#8217;s Day is just around the corner. I Love LOVE but I am not a crazy, fanatical fan of Valentines Day because I really think we should do our best to show love to our loved ones ALL YEAR ROUND! I do think having a day to stop a minute and say &#8220;If I don&#8217;t say it enough, I really do love you&#8221; is important. So Brett and I WILL be going out and I WILL be writing him a sappy love letter. And I am hoping he will do the same (hint, hint if you are reading this honey!) BUT if he doesn&#8217;t, it&#8217;s okay. He shows me love everyday (in fact, he painted my toenails for me last night and if that isn&#8217;t love from my burly motorcycle lovin man I don&#8217;t know what is!!)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/903597755_colombia-157.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-669\" alt=\"903597755_colombia-157\" src=\"http:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/903597755_colombia-157-1024x819.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>So I hope you enjoy Valentines Day with your sweetie or your kids or even just your friends, because you are loved and you are AWESOME and you deserve to feel the love.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>However, don&#8217;t forget to show some love to yourself this month too!

And I have NO IDEA why my computer is making me number this entire list with a #1 (instead of 1-10) but maybe it too wants us to know that we&#8217;re #1 in the big book of awesome. So as you read though, just chant to yourself &#8220;I&#8217;m number #1&#8221; every time you get to a new point!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>1.
