Just right

So, it looks like I have a problem with writing on this thing. So far, it averages to about once a month. Oops.

It's not like I don't have anything to say but really that I don't want to nauseat people with what I have to say. I am that girl. The one who obnoxiously talks about the boyfriend too much. But after this weekend, I feel the need to again share.

I decided we needed to escape for the weekend. You know, get away from the city. (See, I told you. That. Girl.) I booked us a cabin in Leavenworth. A nice, quiet, secluded, no kids, no relatives get away. And this literally has been the best weekend I have had in my life.

The cabin was amazing. A real log cabin in the woods. There was about 2 inches of snow on the ground when we got there. Inside there was two small loveseats, a woodburning stove, a full kitchen, two large (okay, they were a little tiny) bedrooms, and stairs leading up to the loft with two more twin beds and some couches. Outside the windows all you could see were trees. Beautiful, not citified trees. Oh yeah, and outside near the beautiful deck was the hot tub. Amazing.

It was nice knowing that it was just us up there. We didn't have to worry about running into anyone we knew. We could just be us. Together. I knew that all of his attention was focused on me. And all of his affection. I told him I wanted chocolate cake. So we walked through all of the shops in search of that cake. Simply because I had asked for it.

As we sat in the hot tub, all he did was stare at me. He looked me in the eyes and told me I was beautiful and how much he loved me. And at that moment, with the steam rising, the rain dripping, snow on the ground and dark blue skies, I felt myself completely let go. All of the fears I had, every concern I could possibly think of disappeared. This man loves me with every bit of himself. At that moment, I could see it all over his face.

This reality, this understanding that someone can feel or you so deeply is something that can never be completely described. But I wish that everyone of my friends at some point will get to feel like I do with this man. That every woman will get to be "that girl". Because this is even better than the chocolate cake.
