as you all know, today is valentine's day. i've seen a lot of talk around the blogosphere to the tune of this is just a stupid greeting card holiday blahblah enjoy your russell stover's. my 15-year-old self would laugh her mohawked head off at what i'm about to say, but i refuse to be cynical about love. i do agree that our culture probably places too much weight on cards, chocolates, roses, diamonds and dinner reservations. however, i disagree with those who do not celebrate love today. and everyday, for that matter. what is so bad about a day devoted to sharing your love with others. you don't have to have a significant other. tell your mother, your cousin, your friends that you love them. there is nothing wrong with a special day devoted to that.
travis and i did not exchange cards. i haven't had any chocolate today. i haven't stuck my face into a $9.99 bouquet of long stemmed roses. we ate dinner at home. we carved out a small part of our busy day to spend together. i snuggled my daughter just a little bit longer before putting her down for her nap. as i write this, travis is rocking our daughter to sleep. we will toast each other with a small cocktail, watch some netflix, and fall asleep together. i can't think of anything better than this.
<3 Happy Valentine's Day sweety.

Really random question. For Sylvie's 6 month video what program did you use to combine video and photos and music together?

@Kate I used iMovie!

Thanks! I thought thats what you used but it took me over an hour to figure out how to combine the video and the photos together. Frustrating!

I'm not an iMovie pro by any means, but I have the some of the basics down. If you ever have a question feel free to shoot me an email: [email protected].
Also, I have had a lot of luck by just googling my question word for word.
