On Valentine's Day, many ask... What is love?

Many thanks to Stace, who gave me the idea for this post, and who helped me come up with a lot of the below.

On Valentine’s Day, many ask the question, what is love? For us, love is many things…

1. Love is pouring concrete all week long so that we don’t have to pay any more rentals on Mixmaster Mike (but we still did!).

2. Love is marrying Bob the Builder (that’s the new nickname from Mike and Stace, even though the block already has a Bob who really is a builder).

3. Love is enduring endless "hey man's".

4. Love is framing a basement.

5. Love is picking out the perfect patio furniture.

6. Love is a promise that he'll never wear high socks and shorts and count them pants.

7. Love is the debate over the perfect ceiling tile.

8. Love is paying the bill for the wood restoration work.

9. Love is lead paint removal - and being banished from using the heat gun due to an incident.

10. Love is not said best with diamonds, but with three new knees for the dog.

11. Love is three-wet noses waking you up every morning.

12. Love is coveralls and power tools.

13. Love is a level concrete floor that will still require backerboard for tile.

14. Love is working hard, and hardly complaining.

15. Love is living in the Nightmare, and still being able to laugh about it.

Happy Valentine's Day, Aaron! I love you!
