so back to the story of Andy and I...


After our first night of making love and being close to one another, we had a wonderful day the next day...we spent it playing with the kids and getting the little girl I babysit from the bus and doing laundry and all that goes with day to day life here at home. We talked some more about what we wanted, out of this fairy tale we were living. In the end it all came down to one thing, we want to be together forever. So, being that the love of my life lives in Phoenix and I live here in Michigan, the next issue was who moves? Great news for me, he misses Michigan and wants to come back!! Yeah we all say...so how long will it be before he gets here to stay, *grumpy face* not until December. While I should be all happy and grateful to this man for what he is doing and what I just put him through, seriously..why does he have to leave at all?!?!? We continued with our day, visited with friends of mine. I had a fight with one fo them in my kitchen, apparently the religious right don't approve of my choices...oh well. She is still my friend, but not so great of one anymore. I was very sick this day, I had a fever and yucky and and and...so my love went to the store to get me some medicine and chicken noodle soup, kinda cleche but what the hell, he's a doll and I love him. He cooked my kids dinner and made me soup, he gave me the medicine and tucked me in. What a man : ) I only slept for a short while, too excited to sleep. We sat up and watched movies and cuddled on the couch, it was beautiful. I love this man so much, and as we sit together, and talk and chat and all the randomness that is life, all we can think and say is I love you and I wish we had done this years ago. I never realized what people meant when they said "when it happens, you will know" I so get it now!! OMG it's so amazing to lay there in bed with someone and tell them all of your secrets without saying a word, and know that they truly understand everything you say and everything you think. Andy is not perfect, I am not perfect, but together we are. We went to bed that night, sick or not, I couldn't go to bed naked with this man and not make love to him. Afterwards, while this time was much more fun and less on the romantic side, the time we spent together after that was just as much a romantic trist as any other. Just to lay there and be totally intimate in every sense of the word, talking about our pasts, our lives, our choices, our regrets and our dreams, it was like making love to someone's mind and heart. A totally new and amazing experience for me. We fell asleep there in each other's arms, and woke up with smiles and love and happieness in our midst. I lef thim in bed to spend some time catching up on sleep while I showered and dressed and took care of the kids, and when he woke up finally, I just smiled at him, and kissed him and said good morning...like I want to do everyday.
