the day of LOVE

today is a day that can either be a day of celebrating a significant other or a day of sorrow, chocolate and a good romance movie ("an affair to remember" maybe....). well, with all of my 18 years of wisdom to back me up, i have come up with an alternative plan to celebrate this years valentine's day. I am celebrating all of the fabulous relationships i have that are not romantic! I am celebrating my love for my mom and dad. my love for my sisters and brother. my love for my aunts and uncles. my love for my cousins. my love for my roommates. my love for my ward. my love for my bishop and his counselors. my love for my home teachers. my love for my visiting teachers. my love for my classmates. my love my best friends. my love for dark chocolate. my love of my two feet that are able to get me around provo. my love for my red high heels. my love for the gospel of jesus christ. my love for modern technology. my love of this great country. my love for california. my love for the beach. my love for children with autism. my love of learning sign language. my love for a cute pair of jeans that do all the right things for all the right places. my love for life.
