the beginnings

Everything is a first; a discovery; a dance. You watch yourself turn into this giddy person that you never were before. You can't not smile when your phone rings and it's him. You were content with your life before him; things were just the way you wanted them to be. Now you find yourself going to the gym at particular times and making sure you look a little bit better than usual. When your elbows touch casually a spark of electricity runs through you and you never knew you could be more conscious of your every limb. You can't help but wonder what it will be like when you touch more than just elbows. You never knew you could smile as much as you do when you're together and you can't help but wonder how far things will go. Could this person be the best thing to ever happen to you or could he be someone who teach you a lesson about life and love that you haven't quite learned yet? Everything is new and fresh and wonderful and a question. There's nothing else quite like the beginning.

Valentine's Day Tune

For those of us who don't really get wrapped up in the commercialism of today, here is a great song to listen to and still support the holiday in a cooool way. It's too groovy not to love! Happy Valentine's Day ya'll!! :)

To: My Forever Valentine

Just to let you know, there isn't too much pressure on the old Valentine's Day. I would much rather feel your love everyday than one day a year. Sure getting me something sweet and thoughtful is nice, but I will never scorn you for just saying "I Love You" and meaning it. That's the best gift you could ever get me. And FYI, I will most likely get you something because, well, I will just like getting you things!   Happy Valentine's Day

Your Forever Valentine,

Sarah

To: My Future Baby Daddy

Sometimes I think about our children...How many will we have? How many years will we wait between each one? Will God curse me with ALL GIRLS?! Are there any family names that we will want to continue on through them? Will they be athletic like their parents?(yes, you will be athletic) I hope that we can agree on names for them. How do you feel about Lincoln, or Everett? Something about those names appeals to me. I want you to be a huge part of our children's lives. I want them to say that their dad can fix anything. I never want them to wonder why daddy is never home or only watches TV all day. They should never doubt your love. I hope you have little secrets that don't get told to mommy. Don't be afraid to be the bad guy now and then too. Mommy doesn't want to be the bad cop all the time. I never want to feel like a single mother with a husband on the side. In return, I promise that you can set your salsa bowl on my pregnant belly (I know I'll certainly be doing it!).
I love our family already.

Ever yours,

Your Future Baby Momma

How Are You?

I've come to despise this question. Does anyone really want to know how you are? Or do they say it out of habit in order to hear "I'm good" and move on with the conversation. I feel like if someone's answer was "I'm terrible and hating my life" then the person asking wouldn't know where to go from there. Lately I find myself spitting out an "I'm good" whenever I'm asked this question, but on the inside I'm screaming "I'M UNHAPPY, LONELY, AND MISERABLE!!! THIS ISN'T WHERE I WANT MY LIFE TO BE AND I DON'T SEE A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL". But I don't want to be the Debbie Downer and unload my issues on someone who is just trying to make conversation. Even if that someone is my best friend or mother. I figure, they have their own stuff to deal with so why should I bother them with mine too?  Is that wrong? I can't decide if it is or not. On one hand I feel like I'm sparing them from my crap but on the other hand it only makes me feel more lonely. It's a terrible cycle. I want to be happy but I can only force myself under these conditions for so long. I don't want to have to force myself. I want to just BE happy. I want to enjoy what my life is instead of pretending to like it and just hope that it gets better. ugh

the power of a word

Long story short, I was told last night, in reference to comparing Jezebel and I, "I'm not attracted to her. You on the other hand, I have a severe attraction to".
Now just take a moment to let that soak in...severe attraction.
I didn't put that word in his head or make him say it. But he did. And just reading it again now gives me goosebumps! AGAIN! I have never had  any guy say that to me before or even heard a guy say it to anyone! It does something to me. Now, I'm sure most of this has to do with the person it's coming from, whom I will not disclose at this time, because he's not the type to throw words around or lie for that matter. Plus we are separated by states at the moment so it's not like he really has anything to gain by throwing such phrases into the universe.
But DAAAAAMMMMNNNN!!!!! I'm rarely speechless but this phrase has left me a stuttering mess. It's such a far cry from the usual "oh baby you're so hot" or "damn girl let's bang". It implies a deeper wanting.
All in all, boys of the world, step your game up because there are men out there who know just what to say!
And ladies, I hope you can all enjoy this combination of words someday. Indescribable.
