Strep Throat

I’ve had a sore throat all week, and though if I just rested it’d go away on it’s own.  No such luck.  It finally got so painful I went to the emergency room.  Turns out I have strep throat, and had to get a shot of antibiotics to clear it up.  The shit itself wasn’t so great (was given on the rear :-/) but I already feel a lot better.  It’s no longer torture to swallow or talk.

Today overall has been just another boring day, with the highlight being that I talked with Craig on the phone for a few hours…even though our conversation didn’t end on the best of notes.  Well, I’m going to lay down.  My goal is to be 100% by monday. 

 

Being in Love (Well, I Never)

There are very few feelings that we as humans experience that has as much impact as being in love does.  When you’re in love, every aspect of your life is effected.  It changes your life, and can make you wonder how you could have ever lived from day to day in the bleak existence that was your life prior to having true love.  Even as I sit her staring at the computer screen, with thousands of words racing through my mind, nothing seems adequate enough to describe what love feels like.  I don’t even think creating a new language used solely for expressing the emotions that surrounds true love would be enough.

I’ve been in relationships before, had crushes, maybe even experienced puppy love.  But looking into the face of my significant never gave me a feeling that felt exactly like Christmas morning.  I never got on my knees to remove my significant other’s shoes and massage his feet after a long day (and actually enjoyed it).  I never felt a jolt of excitement everytime I held his hand.  I never felt that the rest of the world had faded away while I kissed him.  I never stood in line at the post office to send him a care package just because.  I never let him have the last word in an argument (I never let ANYONE do that).  I never stared at him, silently thanking God for what I had.  I never listened to a love song I’ve known years, and finally understand what the song meant.  I never skipped a night out with my friends just so I could talk to him on the phone for hours.  I never dozed off in his arms, praying that that moment could last forever.  I never woke up every morning with a smile, because he was the first thought in my mind.

I’ve had a wonderful life.  Loving and involved parents, a sweet little sister, a dog that has been by my side for ten years.  I’ve had Christmas’ in which toys were piled under the tree.  I grew up in Hawaii, lived there for 12 years.  I’ve stood in places postcards were invented for.  I went to an amusement park a couple years ago at the foot of Mt. Fuji (in Japan), and rode a roller coaster that gave me a breath taking view of the mountain.  I’ve been to Disneyland.  I have hundreds of stories I could tell you to convince you I’ve had an amazing life.  But no story I could tell you, no memory I could replay in my head compares to this.  No Christmas morning, no trip to Disneyland, no birthday, nothing.  It’s remarkable when you realize that one person can enrich your life so much.  For me, this person is named Craig.

I’m not going to bother going into all of the things that makes him such an amazing man to me, because as with the concept of love itself, it can’t be properly explained in a blog. 

The closest I can come is simply saying, To me, he is the definition of perfect.

As we begin our lives together, I look forward to the adventures that await us and continue to thank God everyday for blessing me with the man of my dreams.
