a few happy words about mommy and daddy

one of our first pictures as a couple - taken in Mike's apartment in CO
While I know this is a blog about the Cockeye - I am pretty sure that the Cockeye would not be the topic of a blog without...well...that fateful day four+ years ago that I met the man that would change my life.

In honor of Valentine's Day...I just wanted to share with my husband (and the world) just how lucky I am...and how I truly believe that everything happens for a reason, fate does exist and that God only puts what he knows you can handle and more importantly, what you need, in front of you!

Four years ago, I met a man that would turn my world upside down, shake me silly, drive me crazy, make my heart skip a beat, make me lose my mind and challenge my every single day (that we were speaking.)

I have dated quite a bit in my life (rissy, ney and kimmy - you can stop laughing at any time) but none of them really peaked my interest for long periods of time. They were mostly good guys, who meant well and had the best of intentions. But for the first time in my life, this was someone I couldn't walk away from. This was someone that I didn't want to give up on. This was the person, that I knew, deep down in my heart - although at times it was oh so hard to admit - that I was going to be with for the rest of my life. We had this magnetic connection - we seriously couldn't stay away from each other. Four years, three states, two different starting points and one very happy ending place - I have found the man that makes me smile both inside and out. As we celebrate today, cheesy as it may be, make sure to give your special someone a little extra love - while Mike shows me every single day that he loves me and just how special I am to him...its always nice to get just a little more on this (made up) holiday.

Scott in the Photo Booth at our wedding - love you sinukai!
I also want to send a special thank you and happy Valentines day to a very dear friend who put up with this roller coaster ride on a daily basis. He didn't have a choice - he was one of my best friends, and he lived with mike. BUT he was always there for me (usually with a beer or glass of wine.) He would sit and listen to me bitch, he would keep a straight face when i would tell him that "I was DONE" and then never pass judgement when a week later, I was in fact...not done. He even made the trip to be at our wedding - Scott - words can't express how much your friendship means to me and what a HUGE role you played in helping Mike and I get to where we are today!

May today be filled with love, joy and laughter - celebrate it with those you love - both lovers and friends as they are a huge and important part of your world!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!
