Today I am thankful for my Patrick...
There was a time, not too long ago when I thought that marriage (again) and children were probably something that I just wasnt going to have in my life.
Lemme back up,
I have ALWAYS wanted to be a wife and a mother. My earliest memory was when I was 14.
Then in High School I was the Vice President of
FFA (future homemakers of america, thank you very much).
Then again, right after high school I was sitting with a group of friends and we were going around in a circle saying what we wanted to 'become'. I said a wife and a mom.
Its what I've always wanted.
Then, choices were made (not the best ones) and I found myself in the middle of an extremely challenging and difficult life. Looking back, I believe it took me so long to change the situation I was in because "this wasnt the way it was SUPPOSED to be" and I was holding onto the "idea" of how it should have been a little too tight.
When I finally let go and moved forward, I became a different person. For the better.
I am much, much stronger than I once was and I like it.
When I met Patrick I knew what I wanted and was SURE that I would not let myself be put in a similar situation that I was in before. And I didnt.
Patrick treats me with kindness, respect and love.
Yes, sometimes he farts right next to me in the store and then quickly leaves so that others will think it was me, but thats ok. And I may have just washed his iPhone in the washing machine for the SECOND time... thats sort-of-ok.
He is thoughtful, caring and funny.
He is a great provider and carries things in the house for me.
He's always concerned about my finger :)
He is what I have always wanted and what I deserve.
I am thankful for the trials I went through and the person I have become because of them.
I love my Patrick very much and am very grateful for him.

Well that is just cute. I'm so glad you're happy. You deserve it.
Oh that is so sweet! You totally deserve a guy like Ripley, even if his jokes are dumb! I am thankful too that you have him!
awww...I'm grateful for Patrick just because he makes you so happy.
Oh so sweet! I think waiting for the right guy is such a great idea. You can find any old jerk to be your boyfriend, but you really do have to hold out for the one who is the "prince"!
So happy for you..
