i think i posted a while back that i am in love. well, here is the update. i am completely, totally and overwhelmingly in love. mike is that one person who makes me feel like i am walking on a cloud.

remember that feeling? this is not the first time for me… by far. what do they say? i have been to the ball… pulled back the curtain and have seen that the glass slipper is just cheap plastic. or something like that… i mangled it. but anyway, i have had more than my fair share of reality and broken hearts.

the difference with mike is palpable. for example, last night he came over to see us. yes, he does not just consider his visits to see me… it is to see me and the girls. he sat on the couch while i watched my wednesday night tv shows and knitted. he sat next to me, reading his book. every once in a while, we would exchange a few words or laugh about something. he would rub my neck and my head (cause he knows i love that). but the key to our time together is that it is easy. we don’t have to talk. we enjoy just being. it is absolutely lovely.

so yes, i am in love. i now think about my future with mike in it. i think about long term and what will be…. and i feel peace, because this is exactly how it is supposed to be.

how could i not love that man????
