Valentine's Day is a ridiculous corporate holiday. Believe me, I use to work for Hallmark. That being said, it can also be a reminder to tell people that you love them. Since most of my posts are agonizing over FTON stuff, I thought it would be a good time to talk about one of the most important reasons why we are here: our amazing friends. So because I am usually better at writing than talking...
Ashley- I love that you cycle with the chickens and throw your whole heart into everything you do. I love how passionately you care for your friends/family and how you still think of your patients when you get off of work. I love how you love women.
Brian-I love how excited you are about your job and how you are always planning for the worker's revolt. I love how well you understand me and that our future kid's first words are probably going to be "fucking republicans." And a lot more. You know.
Dave- I love how much you think about things and how generous you are with your house and time. I don't love it when you leave without saying goodbye, but I do love how smoothly you appear and reappear at 123. You might be a superhero.
Greg- I love how modestly good you are at so many things, especially music. I love that you always seem so calm (not that you have to be!) and how great you are interacting with kids.
Hannah- I love how much you do for other people. I love your tattoos and how you don't take shit from anyone but love everyone so much. I love how you can say no when you need to. I love how you love women.
J. Meier-I love how you give everything you have away. I love that you always seem to know the right prayer or protest song or your mom joke. I love how you are going to be the only one who survives the zombie apocalypse because you are so handy.
Jed- I love how you always include people in conversations and remember little details about everyone. I love how much you care about the kids in FTON and how you keep Bri in line.
JY- This is dorky, but I love how organized you are about FCW, especially your super detailed e-mails. I love how honest and analytical you are, and how many times you have watched the Harry Potter movies.
Karen- I love how kind you are and how much time you spend cooking delicious and healthy potluck meals for everyone! I love that you guys have decided to make the drive to FTON and be a part of the community.
Kelly- I love how deeply you care about everything and everyone. I love how strongly you feel things and how you always get the job done. I love how you understand. I love how you love women.
Nathan-Ditto on the drive thing-it may seem like a short drive to FTON but it is a long culture shift, if that makes sense. I also love your awesome dance moves!
Patience- I love how you send people postcards and how you love Walt and Emma G. I love how you are better at reading poetry out loud than any of my English teachers and how passionate you are. I love how you love women.
Rachel- I love how your house is an extension of you and that you bring color and happiness to FTON and your friends. I also love your awesome dance moves! I love how you love women.
Ryder-I love how you built a house for Thoreau. I love how well you get along with everyone and still hang out with your friends outside of FTON. I love how much you love candy and Kelly, not in that order.
So mushy but true! Even though I don't say it enough, I love you all and am so lucky to call you my friends/family. Framily.

Heath- I love how you alphabetized this Valentines list by first name. I love how committed you are to street church meals, Brian, lists, women, and integrating subversive (if misinterpreted) elements into your teaching. I love how someday we will both die together. Cause of death: worry.
