Come What May

So, I've had some readers who have asked about this "new man" I refered to in my blog about Mother's Day. I thought it was probablly about time to fill everyone in.

So, about two months ago I met Dustyn through a "mutual friend" (that one's for you Jenny - you know what I mean by this). After talking on the phone a couple times and hitting it off, and since our first date, we have been nearly inseperable. Actually, today is only the third day in nearly two months that we haven't see each other at some point in the day. Things have been great since Day One!

Dustyn is about a year older than me, which I give him a hard time about often. He has two kids - Dylan and Rylie. That's right, his daughter's name is Riley as well. And yes, this does make things interesting when we have all the kids together and someone says "Riiiileeey!" Yes, both girls often come running.

Dustyn is wonderful and amazing. We have such a good time together, his family is great and his kids are fabulous. I can't say enough good things about him. He's a hard worker and a wonderful father and he treats me so good...better than anyone has ever treated me.

Yes, I love this boy...I do, I do.





Yes...he cooks as well! (and he helps with the dishes...it doesn't get any better than that...now that's love!) Riley loves his cooking SO much she thinks I should marry him for that alone!



Here he is playing the guitar...*swoon*...I love it when he plays the guitar



So cute! I love this picture!




And Dustyn and Riley on her birthday...Riley loves him almost as much as she loves me...in her own words "I think you and Dustyn are going to get a long just fine"
Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Everyday I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time
Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high no river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time
Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Oh come what may, come what may
I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place...
(Bonus Points for anyone who knows what movie this is from...yes...I am that cheesy)
Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Happy Birthday Baby Girl



Nearly 8 years ago I found out I was pregnant. 8 years later, I am the proud mama of a beautiful baby girl, who is a shocking 7 years old. 7 years old, going on 16. Anyone who knows Riley, knows what I mean.


The past year has been filled with lots of amazing firsts. Riley played soccer, she started and completed the first grade (without getting in trouble at school - thank God), she lost several teeth and has grown (not much mind you - only 1 pound in the past year; 40.8 lbs and 43 inches). She has blossomed into such a beautiful young lady. Although there are times when I would like to strangle her, she always manages to smile that sweet beautiful smile and make me laugh. She is amazing.


I can't wait to see how she grows and changes over the next year. She's losing teeth like crazy, looking more and more like a young lady and developing into her own individuality. I am one lucky mama...Happy Birthday Baby Girl...I love you from here to the moon...
