Catching up...

It seems to be pretty busy right now around my house. Football has started, my son's in school, the days are getting shorter and I'm loving spending time with my guy and the kiddos. I've been dating Mike since spring. I'd been single for more than three years before that. While I'm glad I spent the time with just me and my little man I'm very glad to have a growing, healthy relationship. Mike and Squirt get along great. Squirt looks forward to spending time with Mike as much as I do.

This last weekend we had an extra day to spend together because of the holiday. My son was sick and then Mike's allergies got the best of him.

I did get a dozen roses this weekend! There's been only one other time I've gotten a dozen roses from a man and I can probably count on one hand any other times I've been given flowers from someone other than my parents. To say the least I felt special and very loved.

I can't remember a time when a man was as open and honest with me as Mike has been. He's very easy to talk to about anything. I am who I am with him, I don't have to try being someone to please him. He knows I don't always put makeup on in the morning and my van is usually a mess. He loves me anyway. He was patient when my first attempt at his peach cobbler wasn't the best, but seemed to like the second try around.

Did I mention that he and my Squirt get along great too? They do! Squirt definately keeps us entertained. I was laying around with my glasses off and Mr Boss Man comes up to me and says he wants a glass of milk. I look at him half sleepy and say oh yeah... his response was.. yeah so put your glasses on and go to the refrigerator and get me a glass of milk! He hands me my glasses as he tells me this cause he knows I can't see without them.

He likes helping out with the baby too when we have the awesome opportunity to spend time with her. Maybe it will be more in the future!
