Claudia,

Thank you so much! We had a great time doing this. Our 18-year-old niece shot the photos and videos. Did you see the Reel on my Instagram?

Bob is the love of my life and I’m so grateful the Lord allowed me to be his wife!

Thanks for your sweet comment!

xoxo
Suzy

Anita,

What a faithful husband! Bob and I find it so important to laugh, even finding humor at times when things aren’t going so well! (Also talking about cute things Lily says or does helps!)

A hug multiple times a day is mandatory and can mean so much, too!

Always praying for you!

Juliet,

I love that you have your own special meal at home. I know that must make him feel so special. How about a classic steak, baked potato, and asparagus dinner? (I’m SO basic, I know!) Another idea would be to make his favorite. Bob and I like to do a make-your-own pizza, even though it’s not very fancy-schmancy!

Thanks so much for your sweet comment!

xoxo
Suzy

I was so miserable and tired when we got home—and as I later got ready for bed I realized I had my leggings on backwards (with the writing quite prominent in front🤦🏻‍♀️). The techs had been all over in my space putting on electrodes so I knew they’d seen this. We just had the best laugh and that was medicine😍 Gotta find the humor everyday!!]]> Such great reminders, Suzy!!
I so agree about finding humor in the little and big everyday things.
A few weeks ago I was very sick and making the rounds for medical appointments, and Clovis was faithfully by my side, holding my purse as needed☺️.

Thank you for all of these reminders. I try to never take my husband for granted but I’m sure I can do better.
Valentine’s Day is coming. Instead of going out I plan a nice meal and go all out setting the table and trying to create a nice atmosphere for us. In fact I’ve been thinking about what I’ll make this year for a while now.
If anyone has any suggestions I hope they pass them along.

Thank you Suzy!

Cathy,

You betcha! It’s a good reminder for all of us to give them attention and not take ourselves too seriously! Flirting is fun!

I love flirting with my husband and having long talks about childhood or our own past. I sure do miss you and your sweet smile. I absolutely love the red 💃
