He Makes My Soul Sing

I lose myself in this man who makes my soul sing and there is something that happens in the universe when I step into his arms. It's different than anything I've ever experienced. 

Kimberly's wedding was a perfect celebration to dress up, dine and laugh all night. He did that thing where he asks a series of questions and basically reads their thought. He nailed 100% guests at the reception sitting at our table. Everyone was nothing short of amazed. 

One skeptical and guarded, said, "You'll never guess this..." He did. Another, in emotional tears with an answer near and dear to her heart. Him a fount of facts and information, reading the room and whispering in my ear the personality of each person. When I say he's smart, he is the smartest person I know. He is exhilarating... everything about him is...

... and I am lost in the euphoria of being a woman with an amazing man. 

 

He's the One

 

There has been only a couple times in my life when I heard an audible whisper that wasn't my intuition.

I knew the moment I met him he was going to be significant. Knowing that and grateful for my age, wisdom and life experience, I know what I want forever, and it's making really great daily choices to  grow in this new life together.

Meeting him 100% in our relationship, I am letting him lead. This is super important because I want to see the man he is by his choices. I learn more where he is at by listening and watching and seeing what he is made of on his own free will.

There is one really important topic that I knew in my mind how I was going to handle. He absolutely stunned me by taking the lead... almost as if he read my heart. It was then, I heard an audible whisper that wasn't my own, "He's the one." 

Did I think that or hear that? I heard it. 

He knows me. He seems to know my thoughts, my wants, and my desires. I asked him again, can you read my thoughts or do you need to look into my eyes to get answers? He shared looking into my eyes helps, but he can read me most of the time without it. I knew it!!

My thoughts race all over the place from being stoic to transparent with him. I choose transparent. 

The goal for Christian woman is to find her Boaz, a romance and model of love. It's a bar set extremely high and men in general don't have the energy, desire, want, kindness, niceness, character and integrity to strive for. I found my Boaz. He's the one. 

It isn't just about being blessed finding a Boaz, it's also about being the woman we are created to be, because it takes two giving 100% in every day choices for love and life to be extraordinary. 

Word is getting out we are dating and strangely enough, people are really fascinated. 

Plasma

Several months ago, a friend mentioned they were donating plasma. The first thought is, do you need money? 

Unless you are doing this for a specific person, nobody wants to do this for no reason. My friend has a colleague, a business owner who does well, donating plasma and has over $2K on a debit card from donations as she has a goal of buying a nice sewing machine for herself. 

Depending on the plasma location you go to, they pay out different. 

    One location:  First 5 visits are $65 each, beyond that it averages $50 per visit

    Another location:  First 5 visits pays out $525, beyond that its $55 per visit.

Each visit takes 45 minutes to 1 hour. Easy and you stop when you want. You can do it once or you can do it a maximum of 2x per week. On average after initial visits, regular visits pay out $420 per month. 

Money is loaded onto a Visa card after the visit and it's tax-free. I have two 1-hour windows of time in my week. I grab a book, check in, get hooked up, read, then leave.

It's like Monopoly money. It's money that doesn't come out of your bank account and can be used for anything. I've told both my daughters and son-in-laws, that if they both throughout the week individually stop two times, they will have $840 extra dollars per month. It's Christmas money, vacation money, hobby money, date night money, what ever they want to use it for money. It's in excess of their income, no-guilt, buy what you want money.

Plus, plasma is used to help others. 

Electric Powers

He trains the best of the best to be their best. A call yesterday became low-level interrogation and verification, he is the smartest and the best. I already knew it. 

A training accident with electrical shock has gifted him with uncanny superpowers. Total confession, because this is bizarre, I was teetering hard on BS. Then he did it, again and again and again...

He can ask me a question, nobody knows, then looks me in the eyes (while I am focused on visioning something/someone) and within 20-30 seconds he knows the answer or the name. 

It started off as basic questions that I called him out on he could find given his extensive permissions. Then, it became questions he wouldn't know, couldn't know, one question only my mom could answer.

Sharing this with my mom, she said, "Absolutely, it's true. That she has heard of this many times!" 

He asks me a series of questions, leans close and looks in my eyes while I am focusing on the answers. He takes his every opportunity to kiss me as he is reading me. His natural ability to know what I am not saying heightens my want to communicate with him and my keen sense that I believe he has the ability to read me quite possibly without looking in my eyes. I am low-level testing this. 

It's beautiful to be known. It's extraordinary to feel enraptured by this man who is absolutely crazy about me.

After my interrogation yesterday, I gave him the heads up, and he was questioned the same. When asked the level of our relationship, he said, "Put it this way... I would do anything for her."

Only God. 

There Comes A Moment

"What do you want in life...tell me what you really want... ?"

     "What do you think of marriage...?"

          "Could you let someone take care of you... ?"

                  "What do you want of  me... ?"

There comes a moment in a relationship where you can play it safe in guarded responses or be raw and honest. The later is a huge risk, but I know he is a safe place and I know he means it.

I chose to be raw and honest and he now knows my heart.

It's odd to have someone tell you every day to "please be careful" or a text asking if I made it home safely in a storm. It's him who is at risk every day and I reply, "Be careful, I just found you." 

I believe logically he knows I am strong and independent; yet, he wants to take care of me and be the man in my life. Another moment where a choice is made... will I allow him? Yes, and that will be work on my end and take some getting used to.

As we were talking about our children he shared, "There is one thing I want you to let your daughters know... I will be the one taking care of you and nothing will ever happen you."

To him, I am a treasure. To me, he is a hero. 

Arriving 2021

When my heart already bursts with love and arms are full, another is on the way!!

Date Night Photography

We... [Oh my gosh, I love the term "We"] have a fabulous date coming up and I am over the moon excited to dress up, dine with friends, and dance the evening away with tall, dark, and handsome. 

He has a presence about him that is magnetic and on top of that, anything he puts on he looks GQ. So, I decided it was time to find a new dress for our date. 

So grateful I am only a couple pounds away from having lost 50 lbs, dress shopping was a success! Off the shoulders and form fitting, I'm thinking tons of soft curls in my hair and red lipstick. 

I didn't find one dress, I found three and I bought all three!! 

He mentioned we need to get photos together before the evening begins. Who is this man that has completely captured my heart and mind?! Me, thrilled to share, there will be a professional photographer. 

The last time I've had professional photos taken with a man was over 20 years ago. 

It is going to be extraordinary! I feel like Cinderella preparing for the ball.
