Bliss

   Wasn't feeling well yesterday and had a shitty day at work! Luckily it was my short day. I'm scheduled 4-8hr days and 1-6hr day because I'm scheduled to get off work during a peak hour and managers NEVER get off on time. . . well, at least I don't! The other manager there screwed everything up. The girl I had working directly with me had an attitude from hell....well, yes, I'm going to ride your ass if I have to tell you the SAME DAMN THING EVERY SINGLE DAY and you work 5 days a week!! Personally, I think if you can't do your job right after being there for 30 days, they need to let you go and hire somebody who will do it and without the attitude! I had enough hours to stay until my usual off time but it was better if I left. My back was killing me, felt like I might be getting sick and I was just in a really grumpy mood!
   So, on my way home my oil pressure drops. I pull into the gas station to get oil and guess what. . . no debit card. Then it hits me. . . .i left my jacket at work and it's in my jacket. Well, all my army friends are about to go to lunch so I text one to either A) come buy me a quart of oil so I can go back to my job and get my jacket or B) go get my jacket and bring it to me. Friend says no problem. Then one of my off duty managers calls me because she can't reach the other manager I was working with. I tell her what happened and she suggests getting the other manager to sent the maint. guy to me with my jacket since I was just down the road. She calls me back and tells me someone is on the way just as my Army friend texts me to say they were on their way. I thanked them and sat and waited for my jacket. This whole ordeal took about 25 mins.Finally get my oil and go to the grocery store. Even though I'm beat I decide, I'm gonna go home, take a nap and surprise Mike with dinner when he gets home from work. Yeah, I said home. . . .I'm moving in. ;-)
   It's amazing how we seem to speak to each other without ever saying a word. He's amazing like that! We're both completely terrified of getting our hearts broken again but with all the hell we've both been through over the years. . .we figure "Hey, what have we got to lose?" Nothing and I mean NOTHING has ever felt so right before in my life. He makes me feel like a queen! It's funny, I almost wrote him off on the first date simply because he failed to provide a few common first date courtesies. LOL! Sry, babe, you'll never live that one down!! haha! I jokingly said something to him about it on our second date and his response was that most dates he had been on since his divorce, women seemed to think because he was being a gentleman that he was trying to impress them just to get in their pants. He is far from being that kind of guy. We spent two nights together and he didn't even try. Ever since then, he hasn't missed a beat. He's awesome! Oh wait...I'm awesome! He's amazing!!
   I get home and prep everything for dinner, slice the potatoes, mix the seasoning, make the marinade for the chicken, slice the mushrooms and put everything in the fridge to marinate until just before he gets home from work. I wanted to go to wal-mart and get some cool candles or something too but I was TOO beat! So I asked him to pick some up on his way home as well as a universal remote for the TV.
   While I was at the grocery store earlier, I caught a glimpse of some roses by the check out & thought. . . man, that would be amazing if he brought me home flowers after such a shitty day. . . .
    While I'm awaiting Mike's return home I make a playlist to set the mood. I told him to call when he was on his way so I could have everything set up. I'm sitting on the couch and the door opens and scares me. As I'm looking up I say. . . "you were supposed to call first. . . ." then I see them . . . .3 red roses in a vase-for me! ;-) Couldn't have been more perfect!
   Dinner turns out amazing! We chat about our day and whatever comes to mind while listening to my playlist. After dinner I get an awesome massage. Feet, Hands, Legs, Back. . . .so relaxing! Then we cuddled up and watched Funny people until we fell asleep.
   It's hard to believe this is so real. I feel like I may wake up at any moment and realize it was all a dream. In my heart I believe he truly is as genuine as he seems. The conversations we have: you just can't make that stuff up!
   I have found my prince. I knew I would know when I found him. I could not ask for a more complete and perfect person to share my life with. He truly makes me feel whole. He makes me feel empowered and invisible but yet, he makes me feel like a cherish woman. . . .what girl could ask for more?
