MY LIFE WITH HER

I plan on posting something new every day. It could be what's on my mind that day or just something completely random. I'm the kind of person that starts something and doesn't finish it. But today, i am writing about the woman who became my friend, my other half, my confidante and my EVERYTHING. This is going to be tricky, should I skirt around the issue and make some back story first or just go directly without having much ado. Where does a person begin to write a love story that seems built on so many vivid, real events of earlier years?! Although Lyn and I only met almost a year ago, it is incredible to look back on the many, many ways the Lord used situations in my life to prepare me for the joy of falling in love with Lyn-- long before I knew she existed. I don't want to spoil it so me and Lyn dug up love online. Thanks to Facebook. After a couple of months on being in a long distance relationship, she told me exactly this... " I think I'm ready to take our relationship to the next level. So I took the time out and did what I needed to do and my mind and head are completely clear and I'm ready to give you 100%".  SILENCE... Nothing but SILENCE... Finally  I answered " OK, I agree, I'm excited to see you then. I'll be waiting babe.



I know that living as a couple is not easy. If you really love one another because you are so willing to give, do whatever it takes to make it work, a  relationship is without a doubt hard work. But if the person is worth it, you enjoy putting in your all for the relationship. Still to this day I love treating her like a princess. Our relationship is not perfect but we continue to make communication a key component in our togetherness.  If something bothers us, or we are feeling a certain way, we talk about it. My favorite thing to do is to be just Lyn and I. I look forward to the evenings and days where we get to be alone and do whatever, even if it's nothing at all.  She is my best friend, my soul mate...she is my everything. Our relationship may not be conventional but there is no book of rules on LOVE. We LOVE each other more than anything, and respect each other completely. To me, she is the most prettiest, kind, caring person I know. She is willing to help anyone, she's smart, charming, sometimes crazy and has the most addicting laugh I have ever heard. She is also sloppy, forgetful, stubborn at times, but when you love someone, you love ALL of them, good bad, ugly and sad.I love her when she farts loud,  when she burps, and when she stinks up the bathroom. I love her when he snores because she had a hard day but she don' t want to admit she's snoring. LOL! When she steals all of the blankets while we sleep, I love her and when she leaves a trail of clothing in the bedroom to the bathroom and repeatedly walks over it without picking anything up. EVERY SINGLE MORNING without fail! I think about her every second, of every minute of every day. I get so excited when I hear her pull through the door that I run  and smile like a little kid to meet her at the door!!! I love waking up in the morning and help her pack her food. I love driving her to the highway and help her catch her bus to work and  fetch her in the afternoon or evening.  And honestly, looking back, the only regrets I have were times when I doubted that reality in my life. On many occasions I would remind myself of the quote by Jim Elliot, “Wherever you are, be all there! Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God.” Even today I desire more of that passionate urgency to treasure and make the most of each season of life! . But this time, however, I could live with the peace and excitement that I was fulfilling God’s purpose for my life. So whatever things to come on my journey to life with Lyn, I will accept and face the challenges for we both know that despite any blunders we make, it will still happen, and if this wasn't God's choice then we should be thankful for that since His way is always best.

To my partner, my babe, thank you for Che, because of her, I want to strive more. It really feels good being called "Dad" by this cute and smart young girl.  I never regret a day having the two of you in my life. You colored my days and gave it a meaning and I wouldn't trade you for anything.  Babe, I feel like everything in my life has led me to you. My choices, my heartbreaks, my regrets. Everything. And when we’re together, my past seems worth it. Because if I had done one thing differently, I might have never met you. It’s crazy because I don’t even know when you became so important to me. It’s like watching a star falling from the sky. I treasure every moment with you. I still look at you and fall in love with you everyday. I'm not a relationship expert but I promise to not get lazy in my love for you. I will not always be present every time, I will protect my heart just as I am committed being the protector of your heart. What we have isn't about happily ever after. It' s a commitment to work upon. You are my life and I am willing to do whatever it takes just to be with you over and over again.

Lyn, I Love you babe without knowing how, or when or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way
