Day 19

So much has happened and is happening. In July my sister and I worked together *gasp* to give my parent's a party to celebrate their 60th Wedding Anniversary. It was a very nice party attended by about 35 people. Family and friends all gathered to visit and eat and visit some more - there was even a little bit of shag dancing in the kitchen!

Caleb's birthday is this month. His Grandma and Papa are giving him a party on the Sunday before the big day and we are giving him a party on the Sunday AFTER the big day. I am hoping to give Caleb a swingset (in connection with Heidi and Poppie) - and with their stealth and cunning I am sure they'll help me swing it (no pun - well, yeah, pun intended).

Also I've managed the health pretty well this year but have gone downhill for the last 5 or 6 weeks. I've been running a fever and been on 4 different antibiotics - hopefully this last one will do the trick. I have a feeling that if it doesn't i'll be ruining my record of not being an inpatient in hospital since November of last year.

And saving the best for last!!! After nearly 10 years of being single, maybe having 5 dates (that's generous) and being SURE I would grow old alone, I've met someone. Her name is Felecia. She is my love. We moved pretty quickly and skipped all the awkward stuff to move straight into being comfortable. We don't talk in terms of next week or next month, but in terms of forever. While we may never live together as she loves living alone and I am looking forward to it - we will always be together -- this I know as sure as I know my own name. I am incredibly blessed by this woman - and we are convinced that divine intervention led us to each other.
