Wow - so many fun things going on -so crazy blessed with the best and most Beautiful Zumba teacher that ever walked the planet - and her energy was so fun and incredible, down to the Sports Bar Chill allowing us to have the entire place, including DJ booth and serving awesome drinks, to meeting all the super fun and cool people, and working all day with Bets, tearing up the house, making "Buoy George" and name tags...... having a great time at the Jungle Boogie Piratehearts party......
I wanted to write about my personal #1 Buoy jake.
I used to sometimes get down on myself cause I would not give in to just getting married or could not find the right one. My family and friends were getting used to meeting guys and thinking, "I wonder how long this will last." For 7 years there was a different guy in each family Christmas picture. I even read my daughter's journal, (another blog) and in it she would write, "I just wished my Mom would get married already." Finally as we grew up, Katie changed her mind. She would send me encouraging notes like the quote from Sex & The City, "You just need to find a man that you can run wild with." And that made me so happy.
And then boom Jake arrives just like that.
Jake says this whole story how God made the lightening strikes and then.......... God said, "Meet that girl!" So he did an illegal u-turn in front of a cop and followed me and my girlfriend Pam into a bar. I ironically going to meet a guy I met on Match. Another story.....
So tonight after dancing all night, tearing up the house, and Jake cooking and cleaning up after me and Bets. Making sure I eat protein and take my vitamins. Putting together this party as if it was some grand event, over doing everything from Bets putting eye lashes on Buoy George, from me making a clip board for every Pirateheart Girl - so they can mingle and take names. ha ha,,,, crazy - and Jake is just rolling. When the party is over, he packs up the whole table full of stuff used , you know the wooden eagle, and the box, and the cool plastic bucket center piece with wood sticking out holding our pirate flags - and Buoy George, yes we had to have all that stuff , including the 14 clipboards and super power rubber pirate rings those too we had to have.. :) He packs it all up without a word.
Driving home - I say wow, that was way better then I thought it was going to be. How fun right? He said of course that he was so proud and how much fun he had too, especially watching Bets and me work so wonderful side by side putting it all together. As if we had it planned for months... I said maybe one day - we can be like the Sweet Potato Queens and the Red Hat Society but with guys and more pirate cool and we really will have that boat that we talk about.. And Jake replied, "Baby, did you have fun doing this and do you think everyone else had fun too?" I said it was so much fun. He said," Then I would rather you do something you love for free then make tons of money doing something you do not enjoy."
Ahhhhh - as we took off on my newly purchased rubber zebra print boots, Jake even loved loved my new boots. Although they were hard taking off cause he said I wore the wrong sort of socks for rubber. Anyway - we got them off..... and I was feeling like it was Christmas and Santa just delivered my new Sky Convertable that Katie and I cut out..... - another story..... short version - Katie and I would cut out pics of neat things we thought would be fun to have, like Stacy Kebler's body (like that will ever happen) She was on our fridge - so "is eatting that ice cream worth it"... at certain times - the whole half gallon is worth it.. ha ha anyway --------
Jake and I are not perfect as everyone knows. Cause also everyone knows... because I have this need to spit out every detail of my life...... but we are perfectly perfect for me. Maybe we loose hope cause we set out on ships for somewhere that lead to dead ends. And then we find ourselves on islands all over the place, or maybe even jumping from island to island so we just settle for many many reasons. Maybe we cling on too quickly because we really do like or love that person for whatever reason.... but it is not the same. It is not the same of the way I felt from day 1 with Jake. From day 1 I knew he was the one, without question not once did I say, time out, well for 3 days I did, but that was because .... well long story another blog..... but it was 3 days just to be friends... cause I wanted him for life not just be another guy in my Christmas pic.
And there are always ripples and storms that arise but that is good too, for it builds substance and character. We can't live in a box hidden from view - that will for sure destroy us cause we will get loss and then start searching to "find ourselves" right???? why do we do that - why is being single is rollar skating w/ 70s disco clothes and getting married is eating dinner playing spades. Why can't the singles come play card with us and we go roller skating with them... what's up with all that.... anyway ........ that is what this group is about..... sooo
You know for sure you are so with the "right" one. When you lay next to each other, you snuggle and so peaceful. It is a feeling like you are either in a warm relaxing jacuzzi tub, or sometimes so much electricity you can't sleep like now. All the world is a better place, and you can go out and either sit and do nothing, or plan a Jungle Party for no reason at all. And that is the most incredible feeling in the whole world. But if you never have it - how would you know it is out there. And you can see it on some, but unless you actually feel it.......faith trust.. so hard to do, when money and debt, and worldly stuff gets in the way.. so we just have to trust that it is out there for everyone. You are special but not that special where you are to be alone... maybe you are special cause you are on drugs, or lazy, or workaholic but if you are doing your "God" thing then God will provide. He just does. Maybe our egos get in the way - cause we check all the boxes off.... and we make the decision , yes he is the right one.... but he could still be possibly not....no electricity - not the right guy.
My daughter calls me to discuss guys sometimes - after awesome conversations .. she usually asks my opinion..... I always say the same thing (for she is just venting anyway which is vital to us women) I say Baby, if we are having this conversation then at this time, this guy is not the right one. Without a doubt if there is a doubt - you need to keep him out of your heart and at arms length. Cause when you let him in , just because there is something you like about him,, the two loves, the one where I love you cause you are ....... and the love where I can;t live without you........ will just get all confused and you will be in too deep. we don't want just a husband. We want a guy that we can't live without. This doesn't mean at sometime when timing is right this friend might become for real THE one. For we grow at different times. (Maybe the guy is still in his womanizing days, or maybe the girl is in her college get a degree time ..... who knows later... it may all work out with this same guy) Jake says timing and chemistry.
. anyway -
I am just so in love with Jake.
And so I will go back to bed now. Cause my alarm will ring and I have to pack for tennis camp. Which was planned in August.... but I am really tired. And Jake will say , "Baby, do you have money. do you need some snacks. do you have your tennis racquet, do you need balls. what do you need. i made you breakfast." He will. He just will. Jake says he is sooo proud to be a couple with me, and he loves our crazy lifestyle. that is weird cause it would totally drive most people nucking futs. Actually my last husband had a sign in the garage man cave that said , "My life is driving me nucking futs." I knew what he was talking about. I really did - drive him nuts. I don't drive Jake nuts. He so gets me. I so get him.
So thank God - I have found someone to run wild with.... hey that goes with the jungle theme.... see how that works - now I will change my title to jungle theme. It is easy , like life is suppose to be at times. Not always - if it was easy all the time - there would be no need to blog this easy part... for a challenging part is lurking around the corner for sure!!
I think sometimes we say thanks to everyone and we are in awe of everyone around us and I especially am grateful for all my friends and family..... but getting down to the very core , there is my husband.
Ok will blog about all the great people I met and stuff when I get back from tennis camp.
