one year later...

My blunt opinions on politics, which are sometimes rather outspoken, usually get me in trouble... but it happened to be how Nick noticed me. I couldn't help but notice him. And so, it was exactly a year ago that Nick and I started emailing each other, and its been a wonderful journey together. I consider myself quite lucky to have him. He has always been there for me, and his thoughtfulness and sensitvity to me never ceases to amaze me. He always knows when to call, and what to say to cheer me up -- and he's my rock -- steady and strong and calm, the voice of reason when I get overwhelmed and start to worry too much.

Just hearing his voice brings a smile to my face, no matter how long the day has been; even when I'm grumpy, he always cheers my heart and makes me wonder why I was ever grumpy in the first place.

He is the most awesome guy in the world. I suppose when you really fall in love, that you feel like you have never felt this way about anyone before, no matter how mad crushes you've had... but that's how I feel. Like he's the first guy who I fell in love with, and anthing I felt for anyone else before was pale in comparison. Guess he was the guy who stole my heart. :)

He always finds thoughtful ways to suprise me and show his love, and today was no exception. As I was giving monty a bath (from his early moring episode), there was a knock on the door and I carred the dripping dog to the door and there was the Fed-Ex guy, with a delivery -- of flowers. I assumed they were for my mom, since it was hers and dad's wedding anniversary yesrterday.

But then, I looked at the box closer, and it was for me!!!! Inside, I found not one dozen, but 18 beautiful long stemmed roses from my honey. Wow, I feel spoiled. They are gorgeous... they are wonderful. So is he. ;)

I've never gotten flowers delivered before, it was quite fun. :D Whooo-hoooo!!!!

And, I must say, it was a much better present than Monty left me this morning. :P
