Happy President’s Day everyone!
I’m being featured at Ava Grace’s Closet today so stop by and check out what being 40s is all about!

A friend recently asked me if my husband and I were big on Valentine’s Day and it got me thinking. A while ago, my friend and I had a discussion about marriage in general and he was curious to know what made this marriage work so well for me because I was beaming with happiness and full of contentment when he last saw me. I told him this marriage feels more like a partnership working as a team rather than bickering day to day, belittling, competing, and fighting with each other. Our values and goals are aligned so there is no need for fighting and bickering in order to win one’s argument or point.
So, to answer his question, are we big on THE Valentine’s Day? I don’t need Hallmark to tell me that what I have is special because every day is a Valentine’s Day for us. But, hubby always has a dozen roses waiting for me at home and takes me to dinner. This year is no exception. These photos were taken while waiting to be seated at one of our favorite restaurants.
Thank you so much for visiting and have a fabulous day!

Janise, I came over from Ava Grace’s Closet, what a GREAT interview. I had no idea you were either a later bloomer (would have never guessed) or married to an Italian.
You don’t look a day over 33!
Thank you so much for your kind words Angie! I’m glad you enjoyed the interview 🙂
This is such a simple outfit, but I absolutely love it!! The necklace is the perfect touch. I agree, marriage is all about partnership.
Have a great week!
