2 month recap

Ugh. I am horrible when it comes to detailing the events of us being together. So, I will do my absolute best to pick up from where I left off and write about some feelings, some events, and where we stand 2 months after becoming official.

• We have celebrated our first birthday! I turned 28- holy mess. Im even with you. Not only did I get a new sonicare, my very own set of golf clubs in a purple bag :), some sweet oakleys (that you worked so hard to bring to me, bless your heart),4 dresses and a new vera bag- but the best beach trip ever. I had a lot of fun just being with you and hanging out. Thanks for meeting my friends as well. Ok ok I will admit that I had a lot of fun going out- getting pretty to go out, dancing and peeing in a public bathroom with you- do you remember that? You told me not to sit and I peed all over the seat ( I never sit, but I wasnt watching this time). I had a lot of fun- maybe not so much alcohol or any the next time, but you have some pretty sweet dance moves. Again, you are the hottest guy where ever you go. No one will ever compare. You have the best eyes ever. Oh- and a killer smile. Oh- and you have an amazing chest. PS- those arms are the best place on the planet. Enough with all that. Thanks for making my week extra special. You went above and beyond what a guy is supposed to do for a birthday. I will never be able to match that!! But- all in all- it was a much needed and great vacation. Time for us just to be us- with no Milledgeville screaming down our backs.
  
• 2 months and you are still here. ??????? Are you sure everything is fine? I think we are at major comfort levels with each other. I peed IN THE BATHROOM WITH YOU IN IT for crying out loud. Yeah, that whole modesty thing, gone out the window. Our conversations have moved deeper and our hearts have poured out more in 2 months than either of us have in a long while. I know I can tell you anything- even if it is stupid. You still listen. I love our late night pillow talks we have when we should be sleeping. It is just really easy to talk to you and I want to let you know about everything in my life. If I talked to God as much as I talked to you, I would be on the right track. I am working on that now. Talking to God more and spending more time in his Word. I hope you do the same. I want you to love God more than you could ever love me- because then you will be the Godly leader you need to be. Make some time to get in your Bible and read it. Search for words on your Bible app. Thats what I do. If I need motivation, I search for motivation. If I am upset, I search for an answer from the Word to get me through this. I want you to hide God's word in your heart so you can bring it back up when you or someone else needs it. I need that encouragement from you. I need you to seek out the Lord before you seek to make me happy. Find some alone time- and those are the things you dont have to share with me. Those are the precious times that God has ordained for you and him. I just want that relationship with the Lord to carry over to ours and you lead because you are immersed in the Word. That you stand up and defend it. That you are being transformed and your mind is renewed (Romans 12:2).  Get in your Bible- do the 15 minute minimum. I promise it will not only change you, but change our relationship for the good. I love you babe.

• What else have we done? Your parents seem to like me. Your mom calls me all the time asking questions and just wanting to talk. Do you know you are her favorite? By a long shot. She worries about her baby. I hope she knows that I am taking care of you.Your dad always gives me big hugs when we leave, so I will take that as a sign that he likes me too. My parents love you and ask about you all the time. You have won my momma over thats for sure. They love your dogs too. It has been a hard year with Winnie passing, my eyes fill up now as a think about her. I miss her a whole lot and a part of me died with her. I wish you could have met her. 8 months and my baby girl has been gone from here and it still hurts just as much as it did the day the vet called me. I say all of this to let you know that I still miss that dog more than anything and I am not sure if my heart can ever heal from that devastating blow- but I do love your dogs and I am glad they get excited when I come in. No, they arent replacing her, just here to help me with a new chapter of my life. Im glad you arent here watching me type this, because the ugly cry came out.
   
• I havent made you homemade peach cobbler yet, but brownies (the past 2 times were real), chicken parmesan, and lasagna have graced your plate. You are still alive, so I count that as victory in my book.I would cook more, but these schedule changes have got me out of it. Prepare your pallet for some carnitas, meatloaf, and whatever else I can think of.
  
• Thanks for always putting gas in my car. I do appreciate it, I do like riding in the truck sometimes though- just for future reference. I like to be with my man in his truck. Makes me feel safer for some reason- and I feel like you get to show me off more in a truck than you do the crave ;)
  
   
• OH! You got a promotion. Promotion from First Class Trooper to Corporal! Way to move up the chain the quickest love. I knew you were a smart one since date one. Im so proud of you for chasing your dreams and not giving up on them. Truly inspiring. I have sewn on your patches- stripes- on your shirts and thought sometimes frustrating, it is just cool to see how God works things out. I took a sewing class to make cheesy decorations and aprons. Never did I ever think I would actually sew something that mattered. I love you babe, so proud of you Corporal Pope.
  
   
• We go to the gym together and thats cool. It is nice to actually have someone who wants to motivate me instead of just telling me what to do. Thanks love.
   
• I still get butterflies when you take me out to dinners. I dont know why, I guess that is love. I love you a whole lot. Thanks for being you- and no one else. 
  
  That is a good recap for now. I am certain a whole lot more has happened in a month and 7 days from the last post, but that is a good start to get me back on track with this thing. I <3 U
