Kiss!

I love this blog :) I get to write endlessly about how happy I am. How in love I am. It is a good outlet for me. I think people in general are pretty sick of hearing about how absolutely crazy I am about Bruce. I could talk about it endlessly. I never get tired of telling the stories over and over. He is the love of my life. This is a really big deal to me. I wish we could be together NOW. The waiting is torture. I miss him so much. I really did not expect that part. I thought I would be so happy that it went well. I cannot wait to see him again.

I cannot wait until the day that I will see him everyday, every morning, every night. I have never been so certain about anything in my life. I am grateful for every moment in my life that led me to him. My plan is to keep him happy......forever :)

not my home. I wish :)

going here, to the Pike Place Fish Market was great!

we went to the very first Starbucks :) 1971....who knew?

we had double chocolate chip frappucinos with whip cream

and they were like little bits of heaven

We walked in the rain holding hands through downtown Seattle. It was wonderful.

I went on a date. I flew to another country. I travelled 3000 miles to have a 9 day date with a guy that I went to grade 8 with. We had not seen each other since we were 13. We are now 36. We talked everyday for 2 months. I just knew. And I was right :) I was desperately hoping that this was not one of those character building life lessons where I get to see how strong a person I am. I have had way too many of those. I wanted this to be LOVE. Real love. Magical love. Fairytale love.

It was.

It is.

two days in a row we saw full rainbows :)

people told me I was crazy. I like to call it love.

injured

I've been sick all week (cold, bronchitis). Today I finally felt well enough to go to work. I decided to go to Starbuck's to get a latte on my way. I was feeling pretty cheery as Bruce sent me the sweetest email and we chatted online this morning before I showered. Then I decided to walk down a huge snowbank (a shortcut to get to Starbuck's) in my shoes (who needs boots when the sidewalks are dry?) and I fell about 6 feet down one part of the snowbank and landed on ice. Nobody could see me. I just lay there for about 5 min unable to stand up. God damnit. I finally got up, hopped over to Starbuck's cause really if getting there caused that much pain, I deserved a latte. They gave me my latte for free :) Non-fat latte grande, extra hot. As I walked the rest of the way to work the pain got worse. Gradually over the next couple of hours the pain became extruciating. I could not bear any weight onto my left ankle, I have bruises up my leg, pain in my left arm/shoulder and cuts on my hand. Realizing at this point that I cannot work (as my coworker was less than impressed that she would have to do all of her work and most of mine all day)

so I waited another hour until someone could cover for me and got a ride to the emergency room.... bloodpressure, heart rate, and temp all normal :) Ankle- sprained :( I have to stay off it for 2 days.

I just want to get back to my normal routine, aquafit etc. I was just at the doctor's office on Thursday (now THAT is a long story..... perhaps for another day) and I am on antibiotics.

3 movies that I have watched lately that I think are very good: Laurel Canyon, August Rush, and The Hottest State. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOvOeKxEhXo (song from Laurel Canyon)....

soooooon I will post about my trip :)

Bruce, if you are reading this, I love you baby ;) xo

New....

new year. new blog. new beginning.

feels like I haven't written in a LONG time, but likely it has only been a couple of weeks. Of course now that I have a new blog I am too sick to feel like writing. I have so much to say I am not even sure where to begin.

My trip to Tacoma, WA was amazing. I fell madly in love. Well, that is not entirely true. I was madly in love BEFORE I went :) It just confirmed what I already knew. I am ridiculously happy. He is amazing, wonderful, sweet. Everything I wanted and more!

I will post pictures soon!

I love you!
