Who did you dream of when you were little? I mean, who did you dream of marrying/being with? Have you found that you ended up with your dream?
I have.
Isn't that funny? I used to write down what I dreamed of in a husband, and he's followed the script more often than not. Cept CLEARLY I needed to be more specific about things like being JUST like my dad and the drinking and spending stuff. But other than than, I have this man who says the most amazing things, and after all this time, I figure he means them (*wink*). He spoils me ROTTEN, partially to ruin me for anyone else and partially because seeing me happy makes him happy. He listens, and his favorite thing to do is dig around in people's heads (cept mine, unless it has to do with my fucked up vision of myself. He's scared of mine.). He supports every crazy thing I do even if he needs to put the brakes on me for me.
So, did you get what you dreamed up? Did you "settle", figuring you'd better take what you can get? Is he better than you ever ever dreamed he could be? Am I being a sexist pig by assuming that you're female and that you are with a man?
Did I tell you we booked our April anniversary North Shore get away and I now have something to stay in MN for for just a little bit longer? :)
Did I also tell you that my new best friend Jeremy has FORGOTTEN to reply to my questions about that RV that I want????? Punk ass. I'm hitting him up again. Cullen's ready to take a road trip to Willmar. This is how we do it, yo.
Have you ever traveled in an RV before? I haven't, so was just wondering. I'd suggest renting one for a small trip to see how it goes to see how you like it.
ReplyDeleteI did not settle. In fact I was in long-term after long-term relationship, ending them myself after too many years trying to make them work. It's funny how I met my husband. He was undeniable even though I was already involved and at the end of a 4 year disastrous and heartbreaking relationship. I did deny him any sort of physical interaction due to my being involved and even took a year off to live by myself and make certain I was done with my ex and truly interested in him and not the idea of being saved. Save me he did. His patience, selflessness and nurturing in a very compromised and difficult situation.
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with that about him.
Course I loved him from the very beginning, but something about his "hearing" me made me know he was the one.
I couldn't be more blessed with him.
jla
I love him, too!!!!! I do, I do. From the first time I met him. He's awesome! And I'm SOOOOO thankful, for each of you, that you found one another! You're just as huge a blessing to him, you know! <3
ReplyDeleteAnd Nik- we (meaning my parents) actually have an RV. We used to take it to Arkansas. Since I haven't heard back from the RV dude yet, I'm still researching and mapping out all the parks, museums and nature parks/national forests that we (I)/I (we) want to see. :) I feel positive in my heart that one day my kids will say "I want to go to the Grand Canyon!" and instead of my usual answer, which is: let's google it and learn about it! I will say "GREAT IDEA! Let's get the map and go see it!"
ReplyDeleteAhhh....that will be the best! I'm so sick of waiting for this, that and the other before we can all do the things we want to. But you already knew that! Someday! One step at a time....
