it's summertime...

and the livin's easy.

i apologize that i've been blog absent, but all for a very good reason of course. very fortuitously and EXTREMELY unplanned, a man came into my life who likes to do ALLLLL the same things as me, can play ANY instrument you throw at him, possesses a razor sharp intellect, radiates goodness and kindness, has a heart the size of TEXAS, credits his name to a literary character in an old western novel, LOVES his family, LOVES to dance, makes me laugh hysterically, and the best part - he just so happens to think i'm the bee's knees and treats me better than i ever thought possible for a man. oh yeah, he's easy on the eyes too...almost a dead-ringer for ryan gosling/noah from the notebook...yeah, i'm a lucky girl, i know.
