05 March love burns brighter than sunshine Yes, Melisa, life has been too good for me to check in. Life has also been very busy. With my schedule change, it's been very hard to find time to blog. I need to get a new computer for my house. I have to use my computer at the office for everything, and I really hate having to spend extra time at the office. Hopefully I'll be able to get one soon, and when I do I'll get internet at home. When I get internet at home, it'll be easier for me to find time to blog.
Where to begin......... My relationship with Gabe is truly wonderfully beautiful! It amazes me every day that anyone could be so happy. It is beyond my comprehension that it will only get better. I'm left speechless.
We said "I love you" to each other for the first time ever on Valentine's Day. We had agreed not to say it until we had given it alot of thought and prayer so it wouldn't be done too casually. We had also agreed that the first time must be in person - face to face - not on the phone or instant messenger or email, etc. I was ready a couple of weeks before that, but the right opportunity never would arise so I kept waiting. We had a date for Valentine's Day, and he walked me to my door afterwards. We were standing there on the porch. I started to hand him the gift I had for him and said "There's something I have to tell you before I give this to you." I looked deep into his eyes, took a long breath, and said "I love you." He smiled and said that I had ruined his surprise. He was planning to tell me the same thing at that same moment. He pulled out his cell phone and messed with it for a minute, then sighed and said "Oh well. I was going to play a song for you, but it won't work now. Guess I'll just have to sing it to you." And he did. We stood there under the porch light as he sang to me. Then he told me he loved me and couldn't wait to spend the rest of his life with me. It was extremely hard to say goodnight that evening.
We see each other 2 or 3 times a week, but only for short times usually. We talk on the phone every day, averaging about 4 hours per day. Twice we have stayed up talking most of the night. We've discussed everything from movies and music to childbirth. I have also been reading to him from my journal. We've shared lots of tears over that. It's been a great way to open discussions about our past. Our relationship has progressed so quickly that it seems the past 2 months have made up for the past 2 years we were apart. One thing we do not doubt - that time apart and the difficulties we've faced have made our relationship so much more precious!
Gabe told me that always thought he'd be the type of guy that found it hard to say "I love you." He said he figured his girlfriend/wife would say it and he'd respond with "yeah" or "me too" or something like that. But he said he wanted to tell me so bad the first time that he felt his chest would explode if he didn't. He even slipped and almost said it on the phone a few times. He said he can't tell me often enough now. He called me the other day. I picked up the phone and said "hey". He shouted "I love you!" LOL He knows how to keep me smiling.
God is good. Life is beautiful.
