Five on Friday {Valentine's Day Edition} + #TeamTeddy

In honor of Valentine's Day, my normal Five on Friday with Christina & the ladies will be filled with ooey, gooey, mushy love stuff.
That's right. Go ahead and throw up.

But before we start the regular Five on Friday [I'm cheating a little bit - Six on Friday?], we're all rooting for Team Teddy! We're spreading the word about Menkes Syndrome, also known as "kinky hair syndrome." {a rare genetic disease that affects approximately 1 in 450,000 male babies} You can find Teddy's story here.
 

With this being our last Valentine's Day as a "dating" couple, I'm letting my sappy feelings fly.

Here are the top five reasons why I love my fiance, Cody. :)

one.

He does "the little things."
Like kiss my forehead. Treat me to a nice foot rub or back massage.
Hug me unexpectedly. Or buy me a surprise diet Dr. Pepper for my school day with a sweet note attached. << Major brownie points there. :)
All the those little things that seem so simple, sometimes mean the most.
two.
He makes me laugh.
Sounds so cliche. But it's true.
I couldn't ever imagine being with somebody who doesn't make me laugh, and this guy does it on the regular. He is so silly and goofy, and I know I can be the same in return. I love it. 
Even the pterodactyl noise. ;)
three.

He encourages me.
When I lose faith in myself, he's there to lift me up.
I can always count on him for an encouraging word or hug to inspire me to persevere through anything. 

four.

He's hardworking and persistent.
I've seen Cody grow into an incredible man, who wants to make something of himself to provide for us and our future family. There have been a lot of ups and downs in the last five years career wise, but he has always followed his heart and it has finally led him to where he is today.
five.

He strengthens our relationship with God.
One of my FAVORITE things to watch and listen to Cody do is pray.
I admire his comfortableness and sincerity when he talks to God, and I always wish I could be just like him. I have always loved Cody's beliefs on love and marriage. And more importantly, his desire to raise a family with the same core values.
  
 Hopefully everybody survived the mushy, gushy talk and can link-up with the Five on Friday ladies!



Have a very Happy Valentine's Day. :)
