For my Beloved...

I have decided to start a new Valentine's tradition. Last year I made Cory a box that had little paper hearts that said why I love him. I think I had a little more time on my hands last year, but have decided to continue the tradition. However, since I now live with Cory it is a little harder to cut out 100 paper hearts without him seeing. Thus, I am using our blog to tell him and the world exactly why I love him. So strap in and enjoy the ride....we've got a long road ahead!
