Love, Full Circle!

Vegas was so WONDERFUL! Ryan was the way he was when we first met and even more! He waited and held his hand out for me and wouldn't walk unless we were holding hands! He was always telling me how beautiful I was though I was pregnant and he even took me in his arms when other men looked at me! This is what real love is! I honestly didn't care what we did as long as we were together! This is the man I'd been waiting for! The man I met on the phone a few months back, the man that stole my heart! And I didn't even care that we didn't get married. I was a little bummed but I was just happy being with him! We were a couple once again! And I for the first time in my life really knew now that I could be anywhere and be anything when I was with him! I loved Ryan! And I couldn't wait to have his baby! This is my life! Happy and for the first time, complete!

Disneyland and in Love

Ryan came back Friday and from that day on we were pretty much insepratable! March seemed to come very quickly! There was one day we went to the Olive Garden for dinner, and he had asked me how he would know if I was going to break up with him. I assured him that was not going to happen! I didn't know that at the time he was truly in love with me and already told his family he had found the love of his life, ME! We really got each other and laughed together all the time! He was truly a gentleman and a wonderful guy! For the first time in a very long time, I felt same, secure, and at home when I was with him!

So the day finally came for us to leave. We of course had to still pack the car and then pick his daughter up. Turns out she had no shoes on that day. So we stopped at Nordstroms to buy her some. Turns out all 3 of the kids got some! LOL! It took us a day to get there, driving straight through the night. We left March 2 and on the 3rd we arrived. We decided to take them to California Adventure just for the evening! That night we rode the ferris wheel and I realized when we looked into each other's eyes I truly loved him! It was so new and amazing!

It was like we were a family already. When we were getting the kids ready I'd get them ready and clean the room, while he'd pack the car! Then together we'd make our lunches for the day! And when I was showering, he'd get breakfast ready for all 3, including peeling the oranges and breaking them up, then we'd wake them and I'd bathe them and then he'd dress them and they'd eat! And when we came back to the room, we'd both get them ready for bed then he'd unpack the car, while I stayed with the kids and got their clothes ready for the next day. At the parks, we were a team when it came to taking care of them! He was always taking Mikey potty, while I was always taking the girls! We were all so happy and it was like we'd been together forever!

On the way home he said he wanted to tell me something. I already knew but I waited until he told me! Then he told me he loved me very much and was the happiest he'd ever been! So, I told him I loved him too! We kissed and things were right within the world! We knew we were going to be together for a LONG time! I asked when he fell in love with me and he said it was when I was growling with the girls at the bears on our first date! He said I wasn't afraid to be myself and that was what captured his heart! Is there love at first site? Sure! But you need to cultivate it!

It's now June 7, and I decided to add this!

So, were we happy and in love? Yes! We both told each other we wanted to share our lives together and decided to get married! So, when things suddenly ended I was left with a broken heart and in shock and wonder! We were told by all that we were the perfect couple and the perfect family! Even his daughter and my 2 look alike so we blended beautifully! He even told his boss that he found the love of his life and was the happiest he'd ever been! He told everyone!

Our Second Date

So, Ryan and I agreed to meet for lunch on Feb 11. So he took me to the Ram on the waterfront! He had his daughter and told me he could drop her off first. But I knew how much he loved her and would miss her so I said to bring her. Besides I wanted to see if he was as good of a father as I thought he was! And he was! We talked about a ton of things and life! Then he asked what I was doing for spring break, and I said just hanging out so he suggested going to Disneyland! I was of course excited! This man is so much like me! We even had the same ideas! We seemed to get each other from the first time we emailed! After lunch we walked down to the "beach" and threw rocks in the water with his daughter and talked! So, when he left, we hugged. Yes, I really, really wanted to kiss him, but he was such a gentleman! We waited to kiss until after he came back! And the first kiss, I'll never forget! LOL! I sure was going to miss him when he left! I was bummed he was leaving so soon! Thus was our second date!

Our First Date

It was a cold afternoon! Alexis and I met Ryan and Jadyn at the Safeway on 6th! When he stepped out of his truck, I was so amazed by how handsome he was! He was a real gentleman and opened the door for me and everything! His daughter was a cutie as well! I was somewhat shy. We had a ton of fun and I even growled with the kids at the bears! I didn't know it then, but that was when Ryan said he fell in love with me! All the animals were out and it was exciting! It was my best first date I'd ever had! I knew then that he was a great dad and I started falling for him. Or perhaps I already had. It may have been love at first site, but at the time I did not know!

We said goodbye, and he wanted to see me Sunday for lunch! I was so excited!

When We First Met

Well, truth be told, we first met on Match.com. Ryan actually found me! LOL! I was somewhat suspicious! But he slowly, gained my trust through e-mails then finally over the phone. I told him I've not really done anything like this, but Dr. Phil was supposed to be amazing! Ryan wanted to go on a date, sooner rather than later. He told me he had a daughter, which I was afraid because I've never dated anyone with kids. He finally asked me to go out with him and the only day I had available was Friday, Feb. 9. I asked him if he'd want to do Northwest Trek with the two girls. I wanted to see how he was with his daughter and I figured that was the safest way to meet a stranger from the internet. Thus we met!
