More than nine years ago I was getting ready to start my 3rd Year at College. I watched as all the apartments in the complex fill as students returned or newly arrived.
I looked across the street to see 2 young men walking to Apartment #2. One was very dark and hairy, the other looked young and, I thought "Basically Clear".(translation: really white)
Love came softly, I liked his roommate and was quite busy with deciding what I wanted for my future.
We started hanging out. I was enamored with his Intelligence and Quiet Strength. A future without him seemed dark and dull.
Today I sit and listen to his soothing voice talking to His Boys. I watch him love them, and am strengthened daily because of his love for me. My Life is fuller because he is here with us.
For Valentines Day this year I sent the Madrigals (The high schools Show Choir) to sing to Nick at work and the boys at daycare. I sent special Valentine Surprises for them to enjoy along with their own personal Concert.
Instead of going out for Valentines, we invited over some friends and stayed up way to late playing board games and eating Yummy Food!
