Awww....

Ok, so this is a little post that Jonathan wrote on his blog. Just wanted to share with all of you the words of a guy that takes my breath away. I must say that I agree with him on everything. It is what it is ... and it's good. So, here's to Jonathan - He's truly a "Prince Charming."

The Casey Chronicles: It Is What It Is...So Stop Asking Questions, Stupid!

I met him for dinner for the first time one month and eight days ago - and in approximately 9 days we'll be able to say it's been official for one month. I realize that it's sorta silly to celebrate a month of togetherness; it's so cliche, and seems like such a minute amount of time to deem worthy of recognition, right? But you know... It's sorta ginormous to me, to have this opportunity - to start over with someone, expressing emotions and feelings I'd been terrified to share with anyone for almost an entire year, taking a chance on feeling vulnerable yet safe in someone else's arms, and...well...trusting someone again. I'd honestly thought I was done; damaged beyond repair... So, yeah: Let's bake a cake and drink a bottle of wine or two!

None of these endeavors (and many more) would have been possible had Casey not come into my life. He makes me feel outstanding about myself - and he doesn't mind the anxiety that often pervades my being. He doesn't freak out when I do about how much grief I had endured in the past; he actually listens to me - with open arms and an open heart. I truly consider him to be a blessing. There is so much good going on between us, it's difficult to believe he and I weren't guided to each other by God. I needed him...and I think/hope he needed me, too.
In the beginning, I used to just stare into his eyes and ask him, "What the hell do you see in me?" Of course, my ridiculous inquisition was usually stifled by a kiss or any other simple gesture which would imply that, sometimes, there simply are no words to explain a phenomenon. Still, I wondered about that... Until finally one day, I surrendered and accepted the fact that some things are just good like us - me and Casey - and no explanations are necessary...because there are none available. As I always say, "It is what it is"...and it is GOOD; that's all I need to know.

So, that's the official update on my - dare I say it? - "Love" Life. Although he and I both agree there is no reason to rush into anything, I do believe there will be many more months to celebrate our togetherness in the future.
