I LOVE the kickoff of February. On the 1st we celebrate our #1, my hubs, the father of my sons, my deepest LOVE. This year I was on point with surprising my man for his birthday. Since home is the scene, I hired this guy who plays the saxophone to come play live for a us and a few close family members.

The Hubs has been our rock during this crazy year, and never can I ever imagine going back to the rat race grind again.

Sneaking in XOXO sessions, laughing about the madness of zoomschool, doing martial arts as a family, and taking catnaps have become our new normal. Just the time together has been the biggest gift that I am so thankful for. 

When we started dating in 2001, we were just kids. In fact, it was his 18th birthday that we started to talk and spend time together. We would just lay close and listen to music. That’s when artists like Maxwell, Donell Jones and Erykah Badu became the soundtrack to our romance. We have spent a lot of birthdays with one another. I do my best to keep surprises a secret and he tries his best not to find out about them. 

To all the hits that still keep that sizzle…. I dedicate these to the one I LOVE.

Baby baby baby baby, You make me wanna have Wild Thoughts. Tell me I’m your Lady. You know you’re my Brown Sugar. I can go On and On about This LUV. Anywhere, Anytime, Anyplace. That’s the Way LOVE goes. Cherish the Day when its Nice & Slow. I Belong to You just let my LOVE Adorn you.

All these memories are the foundation of our LOVE. Let’s keep LOVE growing baby.
