Have you met my best friend, Denise? If you don't know her, she is a terrific blogger and writer. I created a blog simply so I could comment on her blogs. (The owners of the site may want to consider the user friendliness of the site, instead of requiring that anyone wanting to comment on a blog will need to create one of their own)
Anyway, Denise is a terrific writer, creative, witty and encouraging. Her blog has followers from around the world. (At this point, I think mine has one. Much like my Pinterest account). She writes from her heart and from her life, and relates so well to her readers because of that. Denise encourages others to see good, to seek good and to do good. To face their fears and to enjoy their blessings. Her blogs contain funny stories and epic battles and many little slices of life. If you are looking for true depth and honesty in a blog, please check hers out.
I have read a number of her blogs, stretching back a number of months. But more than just checking out her blog, I checked her out as well. And such a true treasure I have found. She is beautiful, inside and out. Caring, sweet, kind, lovely, fun, intelligent, talented. She is the reason I am in this plane today, jetting from the Chicago to Salt Lake City. Fortunately, the flight is pretty much on time, if you overlook the fact that we took off probably 2 hours late and will arrive closer to 8 than 6.
In our fairy tale romance ( fairy tales do come true ), we have driven and flown to the Smoky mountains and then, a few weeks later, to Salt Lake City. We enjoyed wonderful times in both places, talking, laughing, taking photos, writing poems, eating, exploring and more.
Today's trip will result in our getting to spend a week together in her home, my meeting her kids, all of us sharing Thanksmas together (you can find an explanation of that in Denise's blog), my seeing more of the rugged beauty of Utah, us just having time together.
And in a few short weeks, my best friend will be jetting my way, coming to our home to share Christmas with my sons and I, and, two days after that, to marry me.
My blog will continue as our adventures and fairy tale continues. Please feel free to check it out as time goes by.
