Valentines Came Early this Year...

I got my beautiful Valentines Day present last night - and I absoultly love it! Daniel came home last Saturday off the boat because the Berring Sea Ice came into St.Paul and they can not delieve their quota of crab until the ice drifts onward. So the boys got to come home to their families, which is awesome. We got the call yesterday that he has to fly back to Dutch Harbor on Feb. 4th...so we decided we are going to have our own Valentines Day before he leaves...well he had already went shopping for me. And decided he really wanted to give me my gift last night (which was really bad because I haven't got to shop for him yet, its hard when he is always with me..haha) so we get to his house to have dinner and he gives it to me...a very very beautiful Past Present and Future diamond and white gold ring. I love it!!!

He is amazing :]

Feels like Home

What a crazy, but awesome start to 2009. I joke around and told everyone in my family that I got a boyfriend for Christmas - but I really did, well I got him on Christmas eve. It was so sweet. As we are flying on the plane to Kodiak he turns to me and says "so when we get to Kodiak, do I get to introduce you to my friends as my girlfriend?" it TOTALLY threw me off - and I paused and I couldn't say anything at all! He says " you don't have to answer right now" and I'm like "no, no it is okay - yes I would like to be your girlfriend". I felt like a little kid with the butterflies in my tummy - because he makes me feel that way...all the time. It is amazing how time can change people, and how surprising the outcome always turns out in a way that would blow your mind. We have been good friends for about 8 years now...we have seen each other at our best and our very worst, we have helped each other through some really hard times. And who would have thought that we are together now, a couple. And to think a month ago - I was horrified of the thought of a "relationship" and there was no way I wanted to be in one for a long long time. But today - I am happier then I have been in a very long time. I couldn't ask for more...he loves to be around me, treats me like a princess, listens to me, talks with me, lets me vent and laughes at me when I am all fired up about something - he thinks its cute when I'm frustrated, then it makes me laugh. I miss him so much - he is gone fishing until the middle of February. I am counting down the days!
