Seriously?

It seems fitting that the last blog I wrote was a tribute to Nick on our 6 months. We're approaching  our one year and with all that's happened I realized I hadn't posted much. Nor do I think I will be from here on out. I'm retiring the blog. I have nothing to complain about, I have no big news to express and no one to share it with (since we met he's been my go to man and has never failed me).

So here I am, a different forum but the same, old, message. I've met my soul mate. It's not something I  ever expected. I thought the person I would spend the rest of my life with would be someone who I was similar too. Someone who understood certain aspects of my personality. Until I met nick. And then I realized I needed someone who was nothing like me. Someone who would stand up for me when I couldn't stand up for myself. Someone who would get angry when all I could do was cowar. Someone who would tell me I was amazing when everyone else was telling me that I wasn't worth it.

Someone to love me when I struggled loving myself.

There was once A time when I loathed cheesy Facebook status', when I gauffed at love sick girls, but now I'm certain, no one could have ever possibly felt what I feel, so I'm special, because I have fallen head over heels, "hard core in love, to the max" ;)

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

6 months later

Things are about to get cheesy. Just a warning.....

6 months ago I was invited to go out for coffee one Sunday morning. I almost canceled a dozen times. I hadn't dated much in the previous year and I was taking on a lot with school and work. I finally had a friend talk me into it. What would an hour hurt really? Well turns out it didn't hurt at all.

That hour turned into spending the day together. Talking, laughing, and at one point crying. (we ended up seeing a movie we were both interested in and I cried like a little girl). I met my best friend that day. I fell in love with him shortly there after. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't dated much. I've done my fair share. I've lived in many different places and I've spent time with lots of different people. And never before has something come so easy.

If youre reading this you know who I'm talking about. I've been a giddy school girl when I talk about him since that Sunday morning when he showed up with chocolate cake because he had heard in passing that it was my favorite.

I've never met someone who so wholly gets me. Makes me feel safe. And makes me so happy. I'm sure I'm not the first person to feel this way about the person they love but I know he's the first one I've felt this way about, and that's good enough for me.

So this is for you Nick. My best friend. My biggest fan. My love. Thank you for the best 6 months of my life. And here's to another 59 years and 6 months. Because I love you..... Or something like that.

How about that

So I know its been a while.... 3 months to be exact. Sheesh I suck. Sorry. So whats been going on... I had my birthday... we all know how much I LOVE my birthday... The only thing I had requested for the big day was that I not have to make any decisions. My thinking was that I make a million decisions a day for 4 kids and 3 adults and I just didn't want to be in charge anymore. So in true Marine form, Nick planned. And plan he did. He had an itinerary. Which is...

A. adorable.

B. right up my alley.

and C. just like him.

He told me what was planned and the only thing I had to argue with was that I had to be up early, that was easily fixed.

So a lot happened, it was a great day, and it ended with dinner. It was amazing and I got to get dressed up and Nick got dressed up too, which if you know him you know is a big deal to get him into anything besides a gray USMC shirt. I even got a picture to document this monumental night...

We even match!

So that wraps up November, now by this point I had finally ditched my vegetarian ways because I was craving some Dru Willhite cooking and so I ate ham..... and it spiraled from there.

So... I'm going to skip December because really the month sucked, it was spent feeling terribly homesick and I hate Christmas and its better off forgotten. I had other plans for this blog but I felt like I should catch up with what happened... I've completely lost steam, so the post that was meant for today will have to be written another day.

Ps. if you think my hair is long in the birthday picture you should see it now!
