February is
"The Month of Love"
and in addition to Valentine's Day
in our home we also celebrate...
my hubby's birthday
my mother's birthday
our wedding anniversary
all within a matter of two weeks!
So...
we take pictures
we document
we talk about
and revisit
the moments that
have made us
laugh
cry
scream
and everything else in-between because
We celebrate by remembering...
that our greatest lessons in love
have come from learning to see the beauty
within these everyday moments
My hubby created this chocolate surprise for our anniversary
a few years ago, and we loved it so much that the following year
I decided to bring out the fountain again for his birthday...
Only problem?
I didn't watch the fountain
and...
the chocolate exploded
and...
splattered all over
the table
the tray
the floor
the curtains
the wall
the door
(no, this isn't Dr. Seuss)
But then...
as we were cleaning "the mess" one of the children
pointed out the design that had been created
so we decided to set the tray out as it was,
and some of the guests actually thought
the chocolate drizzle was intentional...
a "Jackson Pollock" art inspired dessert tray!
and I realized that sometimes...
mistakes can be beautiful
and
that we
honor our love
celebrate our love
share our love
when we remember
the true story...
the full story...
the entire story...
which includes
the good
the bad
and even
everything else
in-between
