Today is my second anniversary of my first date with Jeff. Two years ago today we went to dinner at the Oasis Cafe and had the best first date ever known to man. Everything went right on that date. Our conversation was immediate and never waned, he was a perfect gentlemen and very refreshing to talk to. We stayed so late talking at the restaurant that were asked to leave as they were closing. A good sign that I noted as we headed to a coffee shop to continue talking. We ended the night with a hug and have continued our relationship from there.
Last year on this day we had confirmation from my doctor that I was pregnant. That came as a bit of a shock. We were engaged last May and had talked about having kids but not in the near future. Both of us were a little freaked out and that dinner at the same restaurant didn't go as well as the first one. Needless to say that Zari is the most amazing gift to us.
As I was out walking Lola this morning in the bitter cold I was pondering my gratitude for Jeff. Jeff is the kindest most generous man that I know. Jeff is full of compassion for all people and is very giving of his time and energy. I am constantly amazed and inspired with the brilliance of Jeff's mind -- he is a marketing genius and by far one of the smartest people that I know. Jeff is an incredible father. He is very engaged with his sons and has been a delight to watch with Zari. I am thrilled that my daughter has Jeff as a father; a father who adores her and thinks about her with every decision he makes. Jeff is a family man. I know that Jeff puts me and the kids first. He is a wonderful partner, a gifted lover, and my best friend.
I look at my daughter's shining face this morning and I can see her father. I can't imagine going through this experience called life with anyone else. I'm in for the long haul here. I cowboyed up quite a while ago.
Tonight we will go back to that same cafe and recreate a little of the magic that flowed so abundantly two years ago. Zari's going to be at Grandma's so maybe a little of that magic can carry over when we get home too. (wink wink)
