1st Anniversary

It didn't start off as expected. We were anxious and irritable. We had a big fight which ended in tears for both of us, which were cleansing and helped us build a bridge to moving forward. We made pizzas on the new pizza stone he bought me and he made cheesecake which was deliciously under cooked. We had amazing sex, got pedicures, took a bath together and got a massage. I can only hope that he wants to spend his future with me as much as I want to spend my future with him. 

River

We went to the river last Friday on a whim. The weather was horrible in Portland, overcast and cold. As we drove out further into the Mt. Hood national forest, the clouds began to part and the temperature rose. The river was beautiful and it was totally worth the trip. He took some beautiful pictures while we were out there. It was exactly what I needed and amazingly recuperative!

Mexican Candy

Came home to dinner made, his strong arms and soft lips ready to soften and cradle my heart, his gentle hands to undress me. 

I was craving something sweet and he appeared with my favorite Mexican peanut marzipan candy in the palm of his hand. 

I love him. I love him with all of my heart. 

First date

Today was our first date. We've been on dates before, but today he took me out for lunch and art at the Portland art museum. We held hands and talked about the pieces of work that were inspiring. It's so easy to be together. We laugh and kiss like no one else is around. He holds me close, hand on the small of my back or in my hair, always letting me know that he is right there beside me.
