Reese’s Peanut Butter Heart Cupcakes

Last week, I went on a lunch date with my guy. Of course, we had a great time. We always have a great time when we see each other. We haven’t been able to see each other in a few weeks due to being sick! By the way, weeks later and I am still coughing here and there! Aside from that, we recently made Reese’s Peanut Butter Heart Cupcakes! 

A few hours after our lunch date, I asked my guy if he would be my Valentine! He agreed and then asked if I would be his! I feel so incredible. I feel like I’m on a natural high. I haven’t felt this good in a long time. Life isn’t perfect but I am happy. 

I also consider my sweet boy my Valentine! I am very thankful we have each other.
