I Want to Grow Old with You...



I wanna make you smile,
Whenever you're sad.
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad.
All I wanna do,
Is grow old with you.


I'll get you medicine,
When your tummy aches.
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks.
Oh it could be so nice,
Growin' old with you.

I'll miss you, kiss you,
Give you my coat when you are cold.
Need you, feed you.
Even let you hold the remote control.
So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink.
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink.
Oh I could be the man,
Who grows old with you.

I wanna grow old with you.
~The Wedding Singer



You never realize what you really want in life until you think it's been taken away. I'm so grateful for a second chance at life, love and opportunity! I was thinking about the comment I made yesterday about being afraid of being that "old spinster with 20 cats", I never really realized how badly I wanted to grow old with someone. All those sentimental pictures of elderly holding hands, embracing their loved one not just with their hands, but with their hearts, smiling because even though they are 70, they love like they are still like newly-weds...I want that to be me! I want to be that person who can brag that they have been married for 50 years!

In one of the homes that I used to work for, there was a cute married couple with terrible Alzheimer's dementia disease and though they couldn't remember what they did last night, this morning or even two minutes ago, they could remember that they had been married over 60 years. They didn't recognize their children, but they certainly knew who each other were and daily throughout the whole day would remind each other that they loved each other. Even in the midst of a horrible disease, their love lives on and I feel it is what keeps each other going. I LOVE observing them together and always thought "I want to be just like that!". It's just a beautiful, unconditional love.

I know that this insert is getting long, but there is one song I have to share. I have heard this song probably a million times and STILL makes me tear up when I hear it: "Remember When" from Allen Jackson. It expresses EVERYTHING I want with the coming years. I wish this for all my readers as well! Don't take it for granted, do everything you can to hold on to your soul mate and love with every fiber of your being!


Live, Laugh, Love.

Do you think I'm a fool?

Its funny that certain people always thought I would be just a pee on. Well, it's nice for once to see you sweating the bullets! You see, I hate being peed on, but I also know what goes around comes around and with a little bit of hard work and some good karma, all the sudden I don't seem so weak! I love how you think you can play the emotional cards on me such as "Leaving the love of family and close friends!"...What you don't realize is that I don't care...It's not that I don't care about the love of family and close friends mind you, because I do, it's that all my family and friends are completely supportive and excited for me about this, so trying to use them against me is pointless because I already have "their blessings". I've got the love and support from the people I CARE about! It's just that you think I'm impressionable and naive, but what it has come down to is that I say anything just to shut you up! You think your...

Annual Update!

So I am the queen at updating this blog once a year! I don't mean to neglect, but it's just been so busy for me! Life certainly keeps me on my toes these days! Big events that are worth noting for the past year: -Bought a house! It's a lovely three bedroom detached house that I can call my own, hide in to get away from the world. Decorate any way I want and fill with love! I couldn't be happier here and have really settled in well! -Got a dog! He's a year old now and named Mack. Mack is a gorgeous black lab puppy with the most loving personality and the energy of 20 kids hyped up on sugar! He is the sweetest and most exhausting little guy, but he is my baby! Here is my warning for when you visit: Beware of dog, he does not hold licker well! Haha! I love that he makes me a more active person. I walk him daily and play with him when I would probably otherwise just sit on my backside and watch TV. So he's awesome all around. -I am officially a UK CITIZEN!!! Wh...

So where was I?...I had just found out that the Brit wasn't with these other girls...that they were just friends. So yeah, we talked for a LONG time! Till like 3:30 in the morning...He said some of the sweetest things ever...I had never had a guy be soo sweet! Thing like "How I took his heart and disappeared" and he's been looking for both since that night...Lol! It was a really good time...The man is an AMAZING kisser! I don't know if it's the accent but WOW! I melted! I suppose it could have been the romantic atmosphere...Ocean, beach, night sky and twinkle lights...But I was smitten! So, yeah...The next day I went on an adventure (all day) with my friends and all I could think of is how I would rather be at the hotel talking and hanging out with him...THEN when we got back to the hotel, I run to my room, pack really quick and then work feverishl...
