It’s been a while…

Ok, So it’s been a very long time since I’ve posted anything, well, here goes.

Where to start. K and I went to Florida the first week in September. We stayed with my friend Lauren and her fiancee Bill. We had a blast. We went out, we bought souvenirs for everyone back at home. We had a really long discussion one day after napping about where our relationship stood, and where it was going. That conversation did us a world of good. Our relationship has been better than it ever has. We made love, we laughed, we laughed while we made love. We went to an awesome Japanese steakhouse for K’s birthday. It was fun, and super yummy too. That night after we got back to Lauren’s place, we packed up our stuff and the 4 of us drove to Tampa to stay with Lauren’s grandma. K and I were in the Mustang we rented for the crazy price of $107 for the whole time that we were down there. I drove, of course, because K doesn’t know the area, and was content just to let me drive. Amen for GPS. We didn’t get lost at all, and I had a hard time keeping it under 85. Ha ha. Lead foot and a Mustang shouldn’t meet, but we didn’t get pulled over, so it’s all good.

The next morning, Lauren, Bill, and Grandma got up early to go to a conference. K and I slept in, got up, made love, then ventured to Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay. We had a really, really great time while we were there. We saw a 3d Pirates movie, that was hilarious, we rode some rides, we walked around and looked at all the animals they had there. I got some really great pictures too. We left Busch Gardens around 4 o’clock. We drove back to Grandma’s house, took her dog Lucy for a walk, and then ventured off for the beach to watch the sunset.

We found the same beach that we were at last year. Indian Rocks Beach. We found ourselves a quite piece of beach, some distance from other beach goers. We walked past a group of people watching 2 people get married on the beach. I told K that they were crazy.

The water was kinda yucky from the hurricane that had just been through the Gulf, so I didn’t spend much time in the water. K and I just sat on the beach talking about getting married while we waited for the sun to set. I kinda had secretly wished that he was going to propose to me on that beach at sunset. He didn’t, but we did discuss it. We walked hand in hand on the beach picking up sea shells, then sat together and watched the beautiful sun set. It was so romantic, I got a ton of great pictures of the sun set. Then K leaned over and kissed me very passionately and lovingly. It was definitely a very good trip for us. We went back to Grandma’s house once it was dark, showered, ate, then went to sleep. Got up early the next morning, and flew back home.

Things have been, and still are going amazingly with K. I can’t believe how lucky we are to have been able to find each other. He has stood beside me and supported methrough my most difficult times, which ocurred a few weeks after our return from Florida. He has supported me through a difficult surgery in which I was told that I could possibly lose both ovaries and my ability to have more children. He stodd beside me simply saying that if we couldn’t have children together, that he would just love John like his own. Well, that he already does. He treats John as if he were his own son. It was love at first sight for those two. I couldn’t have asked for a better man.

He had been talking for a while about wanting to buy his own place, but wasn’t really interested in moving in with me. That was fine, I could live with that for now. I didn’t want to rush him, or us. But I was helping him keep an eye out for a house that would be good for him.

Well, I found one. It was fairly recently remodeled, new wiring, just needs to be cleaned up really well. So he told me to get some information for him. Well he scheduled an appointment for us to go see it. We went in, met with the realtor, and toured the house. Once we got to the top of the steps, he saw the first room and was like “this would be a great playroom for John” Then we went to the first bedrooom, and he said that it was going to be John’s room, and that he had a bed at his grandmother’s house for John. Then we walked into the master bedroom, he said that he had a bedroom set for us, but that the pink carpet had to go, he didn’t know about me, but he couldn’t sleep with that carpet in there. lol

Well, he went from not being interested in living together, to now, he has made an offer on the house and we will be moving in together by the first of the year. I am so excited, so is John and K both. We all can’t wait to start living together.

Then Kevin had to tell his parents that he was buying a house and we were moving in together. Knowing how his mother feels about me, I thought she was going to have a stroke. Well he told them last weekend that he was buying a house and I was moving in with him. He had asked his parents to sit down in the living room because he needed to tell them something. His mother was like “I know what it is, you’re getting married.” To which Kevin replied, no I’m buying a house, and I’m not going to be the only one living there.

Well so now his mom knows that she’s not going to get rid of me. Now she thinks we need to sit down and talk. K asked me what I thought about it, and I told him that I would do it for him. So tomorrow at 4:30 all 6 of us are going to sit down and talk about what’s been going on the past 6 months that his mother has hated, followed by which we are going to take them to look at the house K is buying.

Pray for me…
