FOUR

Happy Love Day.

In honor of Love Day, might as well call out MY PEOPLE.

First. My sweet husband. He is the essence and center of all the happiness in my life. I admire him in so many ways and need him in so many more. We’ve been together for three years now, which isn’t long, but it feels like forever. He is so tender and so kind and I know that my happiness is  his number one priority in life.  He loves me with everything he has, and proves to me more every day that I found my perfect man. He is my balance, the calm to my crazy, and the peace and comfort when I’m tired and low. He’s the first person I want to be with and he makes me happier every day.

My momma. She is my OTHER LOVER! I adore my mother. She has such a fierceness and exactness to her life. She is unwavering and unchanging no matter what the world is doing.  She makes me laugh, I can relate to her in most anything, and she’s the only person (other than cody) who I go to for advice and understanding. She is LOVE.  There isn’t anyone who understands love quite like she does.  She deals with rejection and sorrow and loss, yet keeps on moving. She’s quite the force and I’m blessed to have been raised by her and to have her on my team.

Grandma Sonja. A true example of a classy, beautiful, kind, do-it-yourself woman. One of my most favorite things about my grandma is how delicate and precious she is. I remember when Cody first met her he was in awe of her class, and how she gets herself all “done-up” and all that about her. It was amazing to tell him that while on the outside she has this gaudy persona, inside she’s tough and talented, and one hardworking woman. She’s all about getting it done now and not putting things off. I love that about her. Last month she insisted on me having a flower bed. She soon after showed up and forced me to do it! Lol. I worked for hours on my flowers and am so grateful she insisted (more so came over and taught me how) on it, because those flowers have been a highlight of my life this year. I’ve taken so much pride in them and want them to flourish and am blessed to have her to teach me and encourage me. Now if I can just get husband to get as excited about doing the rest of the lawn…

Princess T. I love Tei’a Ta’ase almost Roberts with all my heart. She has been such a ray of sunshine in my life the last 6 months. More than anything being with her is just relaxing, I can put a stop to everything else and just be. We can sit and vedge and yack for ages. I love those kind of people. I’m simple. I like good conversation. It pleases me more than anything. I just like to get to know someone better. Emotionally connect. I get that with Te’ia and it brings me such joy.

There are others, but these four have really affected my year thus far. So Happy Valentine’s Day 2017.

Mwah.
