2. Meteor showers.
3. Scented candles--especially ones that smell like cinnamon or baked goods.
4. Cheesecake.
5. The beach.
6. When Andrew walks up behind me and starts massaging my shoulders.
He's good at that!

12. Wearing cute sandals when my toenails are painted.

15. Scrapbooking.
16. When I've had a rough day with the kids and Andrew
comes home and says, "Do you need a little 'Andi time'? Why
don't you go shopping and I'll put the kids to bed."
How can I say no to that? What a great husband.
17. Long conversations on the phone that make me belly laugh.

He's good at that!

Great Valentine's Day list. I love a lot of the same things you do - minus the teeth cleaning and replace Andrew's name with Dave's (-:
Happy Valentine's Day!
Love your list. I, too, love scented candles and Whitney's hair! I have a scented candle I liked that my Mom hid once when she came over because it gave her a headache. She said it smelled like cat pee (obviously *I* don't think it smells like cat pee. Mom, if you're reading this . . . I found it! But I'll make sure I don't have it lit whenever you come over).
Great list! I hope you ask first before you clean people's teeth...haha:)
Loved the list, the pictures, the bouncy shiny chestnut Whitney hair, love you! Happy Valentine's Day!!!
I could tell you stories about Angie's beautiful pecan-colored cat-pee scented candle, but I won't because everyone would think I'm NUTS!!!!
Love,
Mom Sweat
