Like Doctor Boy. My boyfriend.
*gasp*
Yep, it’s officially official.
Swoon.
Swoon.
Swoooooon.
He’s utterly amazing. The way he looks at me, the way he makes me feel, the way I feel when I am with him. More than alive. Like “home.” Happy, like whoa.
Simply put, it’s life amplified when I am with him.
And even when I am not with him. I can feel him with me, I think about him often (and know he does too), and look forward to all of the things we have talked about doing together.
The fact that he came straight to my house last night, around midnight (after a late flight in, later than he initially thought) from Aruba (and no, not for *that* either, though swoonage of course took its course…), the look on his face when he walked in the door and the ginormous all-encompassing hug I was greeted with.
A-mazing.
A beautiful thing is unfolding and amid all of the other stresses in my life right now (including my sister Jen’s ongoing recovery etc. More on that later…) and I couldn’t feel more blessed, despite it all.
This was worth waiting for…two years (almost) since my life felt like it was shattering around me. And ironically? Today, four years ago, I was on a flight to Kauai, about to get married.
Funny how life works, isn’t it?
…to be continued (stay tuned tomorrow for some very big moments from last night and this morning that I want to elaborate on separately from this post…)…

Thank you so much!! As I said to Nicki, and similarly for you, you have been a huge proponent of patience, and it’s so true, as much as I hate to admit it
October 17, 2010 at 4:31 pm

They really, REALLY are. Thank you!
October 17, 2010 at 8:17 pm
Awww…enjoy every moment of this! I totally felt like I was “home” when I first got together with my husband, too!
October 18, 2010 at 8:00 am
The feeling of home is exactly what I wanted to feel, and I didn’t think I would so quickly. It’s a wonderful feeling.
October 18, 2010 at 7:36 am
Ok, that post was sweet and I am so happy for you but that’s like dangling the carrot in front of the horse! LOL Can’t wait to hear more, friend. SOoooo excited for you. Will you continue to call him “Doctor Boy”? I think he’s graduated to at least calling him, “M”, no? : )
October 18, 2010 at 8:00 am
Haha, hey, I gotta let the story unfold, don’t I?
Hmm, not sure about the name switch, I’ll have to think about it
October 18, 2010 at 9:59 am
I was just playin’ with you…
October 18, 2010 at 9:37 am
I know I’ve already said it, but I am just so happy for you!
October 18, 2010 at 10:01 am
thank you!
October 18, 2010 at 11:58 am
“life amplified”
I love this.
October 18, 2010 at 12:02 pm
Aw, thank you! It’s the best way I can describe it!
