Compliment three people every day.

"Morning Trish, you look gorgeous today," my Ashton says walking into the kitchen where I'm making some eggs and bacon, mostly for my boyfriend Ashton as I don't have to large of an apatite.

I smile "and you look handsome as always," I answer stirring around the eggs. He wraps his arms around me towering over me from behind and kisses my cheek.

"Is your mom on her way?" He questions trying to steal a piece of bacon from the pan as I slap it away.

"Yup," I nod "She's  bringing Grace over as well" I explain. Grace is my oldest sister Baileys 2 year old.

"Yay!" Ashton exclaims, his jump making my dusty brown hair untuck itself from under my ear and he takes the strand and tucks it back under.

There is a knock on the door and the next thing I know there is a giggling curly haired flash running to the front door.

"Hello Ashton!" I hear my mom say to him "how are you!" I hear the sound of him taking Gracie out of her arms.

"I'm good, come on in. How are you guys?" He says enthusiastically. 

"We're good, the traffic wasn't as bad as we expected," she say as she walks into the kitchen, "hello Trish," my mom says giving me a hug.

 "Hey mamma, Gracie" I smile at them and turn the stove off, and hug them. I haven't seen them in a couple of weeks so it was nice to see them again.

After greeting them they went to go sit at the table as Ashton helped setting up the table and i made plates for everyone, walking to the table with three and placing them infront of my family. Ash walks in and places  down our plates, "thank you baby," i smile at him.

"Of course," he says pulling out my chair for me, i laugh and smile at him again and he returns a big goofy grin.

"Emily," Ashton starts talking to my mom, "you look wonderful today."

My mom laughs "why thank you ashton, you look handsome yourself."

I laugh at the cuteness, and smile at them as they talk about what she did over the weekend

---Skip to after breakfast---

I smile at Ashton who is playing with Gracie on the floor as me and my mom were talking whilst cleaning up the kitchen.

"I like your hair Gracie," Ashton says touching Gracie's hair and i smile at them and continue talking to my mom.

"i like yours to ashy," she smiles pulling lightly on ash's curl and he smiles at her and starts gently tickling her stomach as she continues to giggle at him, her smile making the one on his face grow more.
