So I just decided to start a blog because I have so many cool and wonderful things in my life that should be written about...I have great friends, a wonderful boyfriend, and an amazing son. They make me laugh and make me happy so I figured, why not start a blog and record my memories that way so I can look back at them anytime!
My first blog is about Patrick William Pirkle. He is my adoring boyfriend and he is so wonderful. Every time we see each other he does something new to amaze me. Now, this isn't all magical crap like the movies where he whisks me off of my feet and I feel like I'm on cloud 9 or anything. I mean he's romantic but it isn't all about that. It's the little things he does that just floor me each time we see each other. Sometimes, it's the fact that he remembers to pull a Coke Zero out of the fridge and put it on the counter just before we go anywhere because he knows that I will want one, and other times it's something as huge as the fact that he drove here from Vero and took me back to Vero to take care of me after my operation, and then drove me back to Gainesville and then turned around and went back home one weekend.
If you can't tell, we have a long distance relationship right now. We are 3 hours apart and it's ok for now. We both actually enjoy our independence at times so it's not impossible but we do look forward to our weekends or every other weekend together. This past weekend he was here in Gainesville and we were out to dinner. I brought up what sizes he wears because I wanted to be prepared, as always, in case I wanted to get him some clothes for Christmas. Well he whips out his blackberry and on it begins to read all of my sizes (which I knew he had saved). I knew he had saved the sizes but what he started to read after that floored me. He had a list of things he knew I wanted that he had planned on purchasing for me...cute yes...but here is the kicker...one time, a while back, I told him that I really want to have a romantic dinner in Sausalito overlooking the golden gate bridge in San Francisco and the city. I mentioned it in passing but this man of mine, wrote in his blackberry that I wanted to do that! Can you believe that? I mean, this is only the tip of the iceberg with this man. He cooks, he cleans, he has a successful career, he works out (has a gym at home), he is giving/caring, he is romantic, he is sexy, he is HOT, he has a great family, he loves animals, he is amazing with my son, he gardens, he does wood working, he does his own home projects (crown molding, painting, pond building, etc), he can draw, he can take amazing photos, he gets along great with all of my friends, and he loves to travel. I could go on and on...oh and he was patient enough to wait for me to commit to him while I tried and tried to push him away at the beginning! He said he waited because he knew there was something about me that was special...not sure what that is but glad he knows!
I don't know how but I have hit the jack pot here...who could ask for anything more really? We aren't perfect and never will be but I just hope and pray that I don't do anything to mess this up....
