I am reading this book right now.

I really like it.

And, I think it really works.


The first chapter is about not cooking for your man. So I told The Boy that I would make him breakfast the other day. He was excited.

DSC01170-7, originally uploaded by peytonandcoopersmom.

So, maybe I should rename this blog.

Something like...

"I Rarely Post And When I Do Its About My New Boy"

I don't think that has a great ring to it, but Ill work it out.

Anyhow, my new special man has me smitten.

And, he loves dogs.

I am dog sitting right now and he loves it. I caught him holding the dogs paw during the movie the other day.

How cute is that?!

PS- Did I mention how cute he is. Like really cute.

Smitten.

To Do: Smile

I have a very special guy in my life. He sure makes me smile.

This is a text message that I got from him the other day. Cute?

"So I've got wed off and was kinda wondering if you were maybe available
sometime to sorta kinda get together and laugh out loud?"

I think its the cutest thing in the world.

PS - Did I mention that he was a mormon marine? Yeah. Hot.

You are most def the muse of my blog. I dont know what Ill do when you are no longer our President and my boss. Ill sure miss you. (and Ill miss my paycheck.)

Anyhow, I have been really busy packing up all your stuff and getting everything ready to move and I really have been neglecting my blog. Ill have to be in/around the office all weekend. Maybe Ill see you around. 

Talk soon,

This One
