It's a nice Sunday afternoon. Dishwasher is running, my daughter is dinking around on my keyboard, I've had lunch, now I'm getting ready to take a little nap before choir practice. I'm thankful for a job with weekends off, for children who I have good relationships with, for a spouse who works many hours a week at 2 jobs, and for my old car, "Hoss", who starts for me every time (except for once when I ran out of gas).
Hope your Sunday afternoon is going well. I have a lot of work to do this week, but I'm not thinking about that just yet. Monday will be here soon enough.

I admit the thought of a blog never occurred to me...I think it's very cool...as far as keeping you posted on how happy I am? Let's just say there really aren't the words in the language to describe what it's like...it would sound trite or made up, but in fact it's very real and very un-real-life-like...in the sense that I think that most of us spend our time justifying why we settled instead of taking the energy we expend in justifying and making a difference in our own lives...I think it's all too easy to spend our time telling ourselves that we didn't have a choice but it's obvious to me by your choices in the last few years that you chose...in fact...to not settle...as far as Jeffray goes and the life we are building? I will use just words to decribe the real him and whoever reads this can take them as they will...he is kind and generous, passionate, compassionate, wise, funny, smarter than any other human being I ever met, insightful, masculine without losing sight of his feminine side, tender, a tiny bit cynical, political, idealistic, liberal, worldly, thoughtful, sexy without being arrogant, non-racist, non-mysoginistic (spelling?) powerful, interesting, physical, intellectual...the words do not begin to explain the everyday miracle of him in my life...he loves me beyond all measure...he tells me of this love everyday...he explains to me that he did not understand love until he came here to be with me and he knows the fairytale quality of our life now is not something to take for granted or try to explain...he says that he could write for a thousand pages and not explain our relationship...but that does not prevent him from telling me everyday how much he loves and honors me...he credits God with bringing us together and dismisses nothing about me as being too trivial to care about or listen to with a giving, caring heart...God took the only man on the planet who could have brought me out of the hell I was living in and brought him into my life in ways that made me understand what love, true love, God Love, is all about...we have just touched the surface of where we are going and everyday we get happier and fall more deeply in love with one another...and everyday I tell God of my awareness of the precious gift of life that everyday affords me now...I guess that's as close as I will come in this place, with these words...they do not begin to cover the miracle of my life now...I live with an Angel...whom God sent to watch over the rest of my life...
I couldn't be happier for you. It's about time something wonderful happened to you! The best time of your life is yet to come.
Sunday afternoon naps are the best :)
Hope you're having a good day today!
