On Friday I was supposed to meet Jeff at my house at 3:30pm. But I wanted to stay with Erika so I didn't get home until after I picked up Keegan at 5:30pm. While he was waiting he did all of the dishes and vacuumed the entire house.
On Saturday we stopped at the post office on the way down to meet everyone for the show. I needed to pick up Allie's package for Erika and Sammy. While he was waiting in the car he sent me a text message telling me how good I look and how wonderful I am.
The various times this weekend when we were in Boston with the frigid and windy weather he blocked the brunt for me with his body. And he held tightly to my hand so I wouldn't slip in the slush.
Yesterday while we were waiting to be able to see Sammy he bought a donut. He bought a jelly one simply in case I changed my mind and wanted even one bite. He knows that I like them.
All this and more is the reason I said this very unprofound statement to him last night, "Hard times in life are much easier when someone loves you."

I'm all warm and fuzzy and smitten for you. Good love is like that, huh? Thoughtful and warm and scrumptious. If anyone deserves it, it's you! (And tho I don't know all that much about Jeff, he sounds awesome. Yay for good for-keeps lovin.)
Ha ha...mine would say, "hey could you go outside and tell me if it is cold and windy?" No more cold and windy inside if he didn't do something nice for me. ::snort:: I love reading about you guys. My husband? Not so much. LOL
Ok, this is the sweetest thing I've read in a long time. I'm so happy for you that you have someone like Jeff in your life.
Oh man, i got all fuzzy inside when I read that. SO glad that you are with him. You deserve the best, and Jeff is the best. Its about time! You two are so cute. And its all the better that he is so good to Keegan.
Gosh... I'm so happy for you!
