Trying to Blog More

Larry informed me it was 20 days between postings. Apparently that is toooo long. I am going to try to post more. I think he just likes to read all the nice things I say about him when I blog. Maybe he could reciprocate! We had a great conversation last night. There are so many things to discuss when you are seeing a future in your relationship. Being on the same page or understanding what page your partner is on is sooo important. Some of the things I ask about are a little uncomfortable for Larry, but he graceiously conversates with me. Loving me throught it all. He does'nt ask the same questions of me. I'm not sure if he jsut does'nt think about it or if I just ask first and cover all the bases. My big fear is that when he does start asking questions of me I won't have all the answers. I know i'll have answers, but right answers???? I am really excited about the direction this relationship is going. Larry is my forever!

Life Changes quickly, Just three weeks ago the kids and I were in the midst of summer. Enjoying lazy days and warm summer nights. We were involved with church and youth group activites, getting BBQ burns and shopping for school clothes........ Well in a matter of weeks that has turned into rushed mornings, homework, ROTC activities, football games etc..... My girls are Marines! WOW, Lonnje seems more excited about it than KiKi, she goes on and on about Gunner this and Epps that. I am happy for her. Kassadee has embraced the French language, she is just as at home with her Au Revoir, and Bon Saus as she is with Good bye and Good Afternoon. I am still in Love, I guess I should establish that I will stay in love forever, thats my plan. I love my time with Larry. His arms are my new comfy sweater. In his arms is where I am most content. Looking at his face is my favorite pastime. His lips are my new candy. I adore him. So other than Love and homework there is not much to say. We are happily trudging along. Garrett too. Oh yeah, My dad is coming next week. I know he'll love Larry too.

Happiness Rocks!

My goodness I am happy when I am with Larry. Just how happy I had no idea until he had to leave town for 5 days for the Nazarene KC District Assembly. We have been spending an amazing amout of time together and the time we spend for me is amazing. I know I said this in previous posts but he is my lazy Sunday afternoon. My comfort zone. God's hand is definately in this relationship. A Relationship, that is what we have, for me it has been so long, for him this is a first, never anything this serious or long term. WE both have baggage, but two entirely different sets. I sent pictures to my best friend, she said"Wow, you look great" I ran into a friend in the market she said"Whats going on with you, you look wonderful!" Well, I have to say Larry is what is going on with me., I have to say Thank you Larry for putting a sparkle in my eyes, a bounce in my step, love in my heart. For building with me a relationship with a firm foundation of Love and Trust~Friendship and Respect~Comfort and Stability. Thank you for bringing out the best in me, for seeing what's right with me, for putting up with what's wrong with me. Thank you for loving my kids and wanting them to be a part of your world. For considering their feelings and wanting happiness for them. Thank you for giving me the confidence to me, baggage, warts, scars, princess moments and all. Thank you for being the man that for the first time in my life, makes me see my future clearly without fear and worry. Thank you for being my incentive too. I love everything you are!

Status Change

So I'm at Larry's house and I see that he has changed his relationship status on his Facebook page to "IN A RELATIONSHIP". wow. That makes me "IN A RELATIONSHIP" WOW. I am soooo ok with this. I can't wait for all the people I love to meet him. He's Great, now the fact that he calls himself The Great One, has nothing to do with me saying that, as a matter of fact, I dont want him to know I said he was great because it will go straight to his head. So let me change that, he is extremely acceptable. He's smart, and funny, and he gets me which in itself is amazing. Whats a girl to do, i'll tell you. I'm going to enjoy every minute of every minute I get to spend with him. I'm going to keep being happy, and keep trying to make him happy and drive all the miserable people who think all our happiness in annoying MAD! I might even get him to kiss me one day.

Where did he come from

So I guess I'm dating. Let me explain, I have gone out with Larry a couple of times. I have a great time when we are together! When we are not i think about him! Not like stalker obession ~more like random thoughts. I am trying to wrap my mind around this renewed feeling in my life. I have spent so much time working on being aware of myself and my feelings that he just sort of quietly and easily slipped in. He wasn't an earth shattering quake, or a drowning tidal wave. Was was like the gentle rocking of a boat on a lake. Soothing, comforting, relaxing. He's like rocking on the porch swing, He's a lazy Sunday afternoon. Not something you wait for with anticipation, just something you don't want to end. This is all new for me. I tend to bulldoze my way thru things, but this something, I am quite content to be patient for. To let it just be what it is..... The lake, the porch swing, the Sunday afternoon. Whatever this is, I like it. The new patient, content Christina. The woman comfortable with who she is. The woman confindent, controlled and content. I'm glad Larry met this Christina. I'm glad I met the man Larry is today. God's plan. Maybe we'll even work our way up to holding hands.

Low Energy

I'm real low energy today. I am trying to be perky but I guess I'll have to leave that to Katie Couric today. I am really aware of the ugliness in people today. Not the physical but the uglyness in personality. I have been treated rudely by at three people today and it isnt even lunch time yet. I will be really busy over the next few days so this is just a little hello post until next week.

I'm tired. Kassadee says I look puffy. Just what every middleaged woman wants to hear. That they Look 'PUFFY' not in the rapper that can't decide on a name sense, but in the "you look like you havent slept for days there for your eyes have these huge sagging bags under them sense!" I have to admit that I have been very busy lately. I spend alot of time doing volunteer work at church and the summer tends to be the busiest. I love what i do at the church though. I will admit that the Teen Yard Sale this weekend feels more like hard work than fun but the proceeds will make a huge difference in the teens ministry, so there i'll be, sunburned and smiling lovin watchin the kids do their thing. Other than alot of church activities, i havent done much but work. I did go out to the movies with Larry last Friday. I had a good time. He is so easy to be around. We saw Evan Almighty. It was a good movie. We went bowling with the teens on Sunday night, that was a good time. Larry bowls about as good as I do. Which is bad! It was fun to laugh and have a good time with him. Cathy and Ramona will be thrilled!
