his own kinda suave

It wasn't his nice white teeth.



Or his beautiful eyes.



Or his baby face. Truth be told...I'm jealous of his baby's bootay smooth skin!



Or curly locks. Even if I am a big sucker for curls.



It wasn't his 6'1 frame. Although I do love that he's taller than me.



Nor was it his wry humor. He does keep me laughing.







We actually had a real live date night last week.



Not the cheering at a baseball game kind either. Although for the record...Grams keeping Trevy & Bri so we can sit on the bleachers and actually watch the game is one of our fave things to do!



But this one was the real deal. We got all dressed up. Had a gift certificate to a fancy shmancy open air seaside place too!



We arrived a bit early for our reservation and decided instead of waiting in the bar...to go for a stroll by the water.



The air was warm. The sun low on the horizon. I wore my little black dress. Jonathan matched. Except in guy clothes. We were holding hands and talking. My hair is long now. I like it better short. But alas - the ease of a ponytail. I'd curled and let it loose for our date. In a rare moment of guy observation...Jonathan noticed. And said...



Wow...









::picture the scene: two 30 something lovebirds standing on a cliff overlooking the sun setting bay...the last rays making my curly highlights sparkle::









I didn't know you had Country Singer hair!









::smile::



So much for romance!



Nope...it wasn't his suave way with words either!



But it was a whole mix of things not easily described that drew me to him. All the other stuff is just the icing on top!

You need those moments, and I'm sure you don't get them enough. The fact that you are still so in love after all you've been through is a testament to your relationship.

I heart the photo of you two!

(Was this the date night earned via the respite services?)

I find myself taking less and less pictures of me as time passes. But I do think we look awfully cute in that one! :)

Respite hasn't kicked in yet. Gotta love red tape and paperwork! But Grams graciously gave us a much needed (other than little league) date night!

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

I was talking about you today

That's right. You. Sitting there glued. To the computer screen. Getting your Trevy fix. You who hasn't been able to tear your eyes away. The one who checks back here gobs of times a day. Hanging on every post. Especially the dripping with drama or funny posts. Because you need to either laugh or cry alternately. Just like me. And somewhere...sometime...somehow...over the course of these past couple years... ...you found yourself here. Reading about me. About my family. About my Trevy. And slowly you were drawn in. Until you couldn't help yourself. You were head over heels. Unashamedly addicted. Maybe we connected in a support forum. Perhaps we're old college friends. I know we have family following. Hi guys! Some teachers and therapists. Maybe even a medical professional or two. Perhaps our kids play ball together. We might be FaceBook friends. Or you could be a friend of a friend. Even a complete stranger. But to us... you each have a very special pla...

runaway

I tend to be a live out loud kinda girl. But sometimes... well...sometimes life is just so heavy. So intense. So overwhemling. That it brings out the recluse in me. Like lately. The thing is...I know it'll pass. It always does. And I'll learn something. Grow. Hopefully. Survive. Certainly. Because I have to. It's just right now. In this particular heavy moment. I would much rather run away to some tropical paradise and sip martinis until Jonathan calls to tell me Trevy's back at home. Happy. And seizure free. With a new head of curls covering the scar and bouncing around the house. I am a coward after all. I've never denied that. And I really don't want to live through this next month. Which is probably why my posts will be random. At best.
