I barely got back from Virginia today and I could not wait to blog about my time there with Dan and his beautiful children Ava and Taylor.
I got in on Thursday night and stayed until Sunday and in that time really got to bond with his children. It made me so happy to remember how sweet little babies actually are. Once your own start growing up you have a hard time thinking of having more for the fact of what a handful they are when 2, 3, and 4 hit (age wise). So it was a breath of fresh air to get to hold and remember the sweetness. It also restores my faith in having more children one day, which for everyone who knows me knows that is something I have a hard time even thinking about. Ava looks exactly like Dan and is a TOTAL daddy's girl, which was so fun to see his little princess relish in her daddy's attention. Taylor has his features, but is his own little man. He really likes his space, but it was fun because he really liked for me to hold him and love on him. I also got to meet his parents, and sister (I have 3 more siblings to meet of his), and his closest friends. It was so much fun becoming more of his world and understanding more about what and who makes him the man he is and strives every day to be. I was so impressed with his sister and her family and just how open they were to let me stay there with them and make myself at home. It is not a common thing to feel so welcome in a strangers house, but they were so warm. His friends are hilarious and I laughed so hard with them. I also pulled a total red face at one point with them, have not done that in a while..... (from the laughing)...
As for Dan and Myself! Every time I see him I grow more attached. There is certain things that he does that when I think about I can not stop smiling. I know my strong point and I know my weaknesses and it is amazing how he helps keep my weaknesses at a distance. Even though the focus this weekend was on his children, I still felt very much in the spotlight to him. It is great to know that the person you are with cherishes who you are and does not keep you guessing. I adore him. I don't feel like I have experienced this type of happiness and securness before. I think when you finally do experience what I feel I am, you have nothing else to look for and all that is left to do is grow. I DO look forward to growing with him as a couple. I could not be happier.

Lacy, oh my goodness. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you are in love. And well on your way to being madly in love. How fun. It gave me butterflies reading all your giddyness. I love that you found such a great catch. You deserve it.
What can I say? I love this woman! And my children took to her as if they've always known her, especially my Tater Bug. He was INSEPERABLE from Lacy from the first time he saw her - kind of like his daddy was. Lacy and I had a blast and she got to meet a TON of my friends and family - all of which agreed that I should never let this one go! And I have no plans to, either. The more I get to see her and the more we get to be together, the more I'm convinced that this is right. This past weekend was picture perfect, almost like something out of dream. And I agree: I couldn't be any happier. Thanks for being who and what you are, Lacy.
I need to find a man who loves me as much as Dan loves you. You guys are so freaking cute it's disgusting! It is nice to see that somehow, somewhere, that special person still exists...now if I can just locate mine!
Nice one Georgia! HA HA HA!
