Aniversary Day 35

Today I celebrated 2 wonderful years with my girlfriend, what makes this anniversary so much better is that it is our first one since we became engaged. I am truly blessed, my road my bumpy day to day, but with her by my side everything is possible. She keeps me going and always excepts me for me, and loves me unconditionally. She has my heart forever and always.


“A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.” Richard Bach

Sara's Birthday Day 29

Today was my loves birthday! Iam so very grateful that this beautiful woman came into my life. She has such warmth and love! I wouldn't know what to do without her. It's always nice to look forward to special holidays when you know you get to spend them with someone you love.

And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years

Dinner With Love

Finally got all my day's caught up! This is my beautiful Sara making dinner, we always eat together no matter how late it is. Dinner time is our time to be together and talk, and maybe throw in a movie. We like to try new and different recipes, when we can afford lol. I love that we always make this a special time to be together to make new memories =).

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach. Elizabeth Barrett Browning

A Daughter's Love~Day 25

This little note was left on my facebook wall by my daughter. A lot of people that know me may be thinking I don't have a child, and you would be right I don't have a child. My daughter is actually my step daughter from my previous marriage. The thing is that I don't believe in that ugly word STEP CHILD. I may have not given birth to her, and she may not be blood, but she IS MY DAUGHTER! I would do anything in my power for her, I think about her often, wonder how she's doing. She's in school and I couldn't be more proud of her, she is trying and she will succeed in anything and everything she puts her mind to, I know that much for sure. I hope the day she graduates that I will be able to be there to see her again walk down and isle to yet another achievement. I love her she means the world to me, I would give my life for her, just as her own mother would. So this is my little story about a beautiful girl woman that turned from a stranger into a beautiful gift, the gift of love from a child to a mother.

Love Day 22

Sara made this card for me! I love it and it is happily displayed in our office. She even put a little hallmark seal on the back.

Blessed Life

This picture was taken with my phone so it's not the best quality. When I took this picture I had a moment of "Wow look at my life I'm so blessed". There are a ton of things going on in my life right now, I'm struggling to make ends meet etc. It would be so easy to just sit around and be sad and let all of this overwhelm me, but I try everyday to find a blessing. The truth is with all the bumps in my life it is really good, I'm blessed with a woman that loves me very deeply, I have two amazing fur babies, and at least one of my jobs is great. I guess what I'm trying to say is if everyone took just a second everyday to find that blessing and take a deep breathe they would realize how lucky they are. 


Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.
