(lol)
The flowers I had given her last week were (still alive and) in the center. On either side were the dinner candles I had even forgotten were there!!
Things were WONDERFUL.
I had brought home the wine and some Ben & Jerry's for dessert.
Then came the complications: IMs, phone calls, last minute errands.....We actually ate around 10:30, and it would have been later, but we made the decision to ignore all new IMs and just eat (sorry, folks! We love Roo people, but we have to eat and sleep!! LOL) We lit ALL the candles and turned out ALL the lights. We prayed. We laughed. We planned. We talked about the wonder of candle wax. (Don't ask). Then, we went to the sofa, where I USED to eat dinner. We decided it was too late too start lugging around a pint of B&J's each, so we decided to forego. We watched "Secretary," which Sweetpea had never seen. She fell asleep in my arms.
(That was the romantic part. Later, she got to watch me wake up after inhaling acidy vomit from my acid reflux. Not so very 'fairy tale come true')
Today is one week fron the day I picked her up at the airport, and felt immediately at ease. Everything since then has been more and more comfortable. I have a woman who loves to pray with me, who is disappointed when we skip devotionals, who cries when she believes people take advantage of my time, as if it hurts her to see me tired.And she sends me e-cards telling me how much she loves me all day long.
How can anyone NOT love that??

Okay Marky was this directed to me? I did not take advantage of your time, you didn't have to talk to me, you said so yourself you CHOSE to and now what you said here is very hurtful to me because you are the one that wanted to stay and talk to me that one night because I was having a hard time.. yeah I am grateful you did even if I was cruel, but I had my reasons for being that way and I thought you understood that. Now you are going and commenting like that and I feel it is completely directed at me and a couple other people you mentioned in our conversation that you said you are always there for.. that's not fair, it really isn't and I'm honestly sick of it.. yes I'm hurt and so is someone else, I'm sure you know who I'm talking about. With things said like that.. should I even bother trying to talk to you when I'm upset and need somebody to talk to about my problems? Should I just keep them too myself. I'm sorry if I upset the Pea with making you tired.. it won't happen again, I can promise you that. I know where you stand now I'm sorry I even bothered!
