Less Than a Month...

27 days, and counting. Life is a beautiful treasure and an adventure. For those who don't agree, well I pity you because you have never been in love. I am talking about love that reaches to your soul, a love you can feel from just a look. Most people today tell their significant others, "I love you", but how many of them actually feel it all through their being? It's a different feeling, it makes you happy, on the inside as well as the outside. 27 days, and I will unite my soul to my one true love. It took me 22 years to find him. Yeah, I know, I'm 40, but lets be realistic, growing up I really wasn't looking for my one true love. I thought I found it once, but if it had been the real thing, we would still be together, plus I wouldn't have been searching. I settled the first time I got married, 19, pregnant and scared, he did "the right thing" and married me. If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't change anything, because the past made me who I am today. And I like the person I am.
And the man I am joining together with has decided he can actually live with me, as quirky as I am. I have my faults, I hate cleaning, I don't wear makeup, most of my clothes have holes in em, I love wearing ballcaps(a Giants hat is my favorite), I say "ya all" a whole lot, and I love the word ain't. But I do have my good sides, I don't lie(can't see the point in it), I do clean(When I can't stand walking on my socks anymore, or if I need clean dishes), I'm sensitive(if you can get past my rough exterior), plus I am very good at verbal combats, it is very seldom I can't come up with a comeback. Which reminds me, I was left speechless once. I was working in a supermarket(cashier) and one of my jobs was to sweep when not busy with customers. Well a customer came in, one I always joked around with, and when he saw the broom in my hand he said, "Everytime I come in here, you have that broom in your hand. Is that your normal mode of transportation?" My mind went blank, all I could do was laugh at being called a witch in a roundbout way. To this day, I still can't come up with a good come back line for him.
Ok got off the subject, which I do often. I am excited about getting married. And that is putting things mildly. I will continue to count days and nights, maybe even minutes and seconds. To Allan, I love you baby, and I like you too. I promise to try and clean better, but don't hold your breath, I promise to love you even if we have bad days and argue (which is bound to happen)I may not feel like talking all the time, but in my heart all the love there is yours. I promise to bug you when you don't feel well, just to make sure you are eating right. And I promise to keep the whips and chains hidden until after we are married, I love you now and always!
