welcome to Cafe de Valentine. we hope that this blog provides you some fun, inspirational, entertaining, and educational reading material... maybe even over your daily "cup 'o joe". we strive each day to enjoy each other and those around us and we look forward to sharing our little moments with you. there are also days where we bug each other and probably those around us and we'd love to share those moments to. we're not perfect, we don't have the perfect marriage, the perfect house, the perfect faith, nor the perfect attitudes toward any of the above. we realize that most of you may not either. so we've learned to laugh along the way! we hope you will too!
