A Thank You

Every so often, I get into a funk. Why I get into the funk, I really can't say. Sometimes it's a build up of too many thoughts. Sometimes it's extenuating circumstances. Sometimes it's just because. Whatever the reason is, I must tell you, it SUCKS.

So instead of dwelling on what's wrong (which really is nothing, and if it's something it is BEYOND stupid), I've decided to dwell on what's right.

I LOVE my boyfriend. I love him more than I love cheese (amazing I know, but totally true). He is the most sincere, genuine, and wonderful man I have ever known, not to mention most breathtakingly handsome. When I turn into a grumpy gills, I just can't believe how patient and caring he is. The sound of his voice, the way his touch feels and just the way he looks at me, makes me smile and feel warm (if not outwardly because I'm too much of a hard ass to show it(lol), definitely inside).

My brother (aka best friend), is the coolest cat in the world! I've known him for over 20 years, and we have lived together for 5...How awesome is that?! We've had our differences, but by the grace of destiny, we've always made it through it. He is BEYOND kick ass!!

My parents...WOW...I don't know where to go with that one. They are my best friends. We had our rough patches (VERY rough patches), but we came out on top. They are always there for me, no matter how wrong I may be. They are always there for me even when I whip out the classic Maria-attitude, and it's awesome!!

And last, but certainly not least, my Stephy. She is my best girlfriend ever! We met in the Cedar Point fashion...Having to go the park constantly...We bonded and became more than just mere acquaintances. She is one of the most amazing and wonderful women I know. Strong-willed, beautiful, and all around sweet...She rocks.

So there you and I have it. I feel 100% better after having said all this. I could have gone on so much more, but I'd rather tell them in person. But if any of you are reading this, I love you all!! Thank you for being who you are!!!

Better than a Dream...Real

It was a rough week this week, but there's something I want to say:

When the sun just couldn't seem to rise high enough, the rain didn't ever seem like it was going to end, and the stars just didn't twinkle like they should have, it was he who brought me out of the darkened haze. With tears streaming down my face, a mass of thoughts running rampant through my mind, he was there to calm the storm.

His words touched me. The passion and truth behind them was something I have never felt before. It melted away all the fears and worries, the apprehensions and blah that were once eating away at my mind and my heart. Why I let them even get me to the point of tears, I don't know, but what was said made my heart swell and put my mind at ease.

With my head on his chest, he strokes my hair, and I get lost in his eyes. I could spend forever in his arms. I would lose sleep just so I could daydream about him. It's such a wondrous and absolutely breathtaking feeling! I feel so lucky, so blessed, I can't even get the right words out.

The sound of his voice makes my heart swell. The smell of his cologne eases my senses. The feel of his lips against mine still causes an eruption of butterflies in my stomach. It's better than a dream, because it's real, really, truly REAL. The feeling is just so intense, so unbelievably incredible...I'm left in a constant state of awe and wonderment. So what else is there to say...Except that I love him with all my heart and soul...Always...
