My friends, my amazing man, the outdoors, dining out, going to Dodgers games, reading, karaoke Sundays, picnics on the beach, watching movies, passion, camping, boating, Lakers (unless they are playing the Sonics then I am bound by my roots), the sound of the Pacific, live music, Sonicare, board games, Vegas, steak, seafood, cilantro, potatoes,espresso, cheese, omelettes, lingerie, dresses, laying in the sun, puppies, monkeys, independence, lazy Sundays, catching raindrops with my tongue, laughing at myself, cooking extravangant meals for one or for ten, girl's nights, bistros, lip gloss, mountains, sand between my toes, drinking wine, SEAHAWKS, men's boxer briefs, high heels, sparkling eyes, beautiful smiles, innocence, farmers markets, inner beauty, intelligence, the brutal honesty of children, dancing naked, designer jeans, cheap tank tops, perfume, pictures of my beautiful friends that make my life so wonderful, raunchy jokes, singing in my living room to Air Supply with the girls, eyeshadow, candles, flowers, laughing so hard it hurts, crying before Beaches even begins, wisdom, happiness.
I'd like to meet:
"and i wish you were home so i could make you an omelette with avocado and home fries, and sourdough toast.....
and if i knew how to make that green salsa, i would put it right next to your plate without you having to ask"
So after 12 years of not seeing each other, we met again. And we're getting married.
There's a lot to be said about someone who knows my love for salsa and avocado. ;)
