Sealed with a Kiss

Wednesday, Baby and I celebrated three 'official' years as a couple. I say 'official' because we met in February of 2004, but didn't become a real 'couple' until January of 2005. That was certainly his choice, because I had been referring to him as my boyfriend for a while by then. And nothing really changed other than titles.

I must say that Wednesday's date was the best date ever...so far. :-) It was romantic and comfortable...and everything felt new (all at the same time).

We met at Romano's Macaroni Grill. I looked as fabulous as I felt (as least I hope so). I pulled out my new Vince Camuto shoes. I wore the cutest little dress, I got for a steal. And my hair worked (for the first time this week). Justin was much more casual. But that's just how we do. lol!

Dinner was great. We talked and giggled like it was our first time meeting. After the table was cleared, I picked up the crayons and started to doodle. If you've never been, they cover the table cloth with white butcher paper and place a few crayons on the table. At some point, Baby took over and crowned me "the Greatest Girlfriend in the WORLD!" What a distinction! Wouldn't you say? :-)

We just really had an awesome evening. And now I am anticipating what this weekend holds in store. He has been planning something...who knows what that mind of his has conjured up?

And to think at our very first date, who knew I'd love this man the way that I do? Our first date was nice...we met at Joe's Crab Shack for dinner and shot some pool and ended with a nice platonic hug. But before the week was up we'd gone out 3 times.

Yesterday, I sat reflecting on Wednesday evening and I couldn't help but smile. He loves me, he really loves me! I felt like a teeanger plucking petals from a daisy. Sometimes I'm amazed by his displays of affection, not because I doubt him. But because I doubt myself. But why do we do that? Why do women so often feel that we are not worthy of the love of others? I do love myself, because I have accepted my own misgivings. But should someone else? Well, today, I lay all of those doubts aside. Today and forever more I declare that I am loveable and if someone doesn't then that's their issue.

So, say it with me ladies...I'm LOVEABLE!!!
