Michigan Photographer // Made My Week – Vol 52!

This past weekend was Valentine’s Day.  The day where most couples go out to a nice dinner together; buying roses, candy and anything else that makes one another happy.  We also do those things, but we try to do them more than just on that one expected day.  Sometimes the expected is less meaningful even if the thought is still there…  Instead of doing our typical Valentine’s Day routine, we decided to book a room at the JW Marriott in downtown Grand Rapids and stay for the evening.  Swimming, playing Scrabble in our room and ordering pizza in.  I have to say….something about spending time with the people you love is much more important than the gifts that  you receive.  Good thing because Joe and I didn’t buy each other anything!  So….this week was made by spending time with my three favorite people; Joe, Addy and our niece Karis!

Now, don’t get me wrong….doing nice things for one another is so nice on this holiday, but don’t forget about the other 364 days of the year!  Each one of those is just as special and probably even more of an opportunity to tell that special person how much they mean to you!
