I have found the love of my life after 34 years. Ryan is my boyfriend, a California boy born and raised, I am a midwestern girl from Michigan.

I’ve been married before been in two long relationships, but this is the first one where I feel equal. I am respected as a person, a woman and a mother. Ryan loves me as much as I love him. I do at times feel like it is the fairytale kind of love that people search for, and some never find.

We have our ups and downs just like any other couple, we have had our share of obstacles, with many more to come. What sets this relationship apart from my other relatioships is the way that we deal with our ups and downs, with respect, and discussion. we try very hard to put ourselves in the other persons shoes to see where they are coming from, rather than name calling, yelling and accusations.

We have been together almost 2 years now in June. No ring yet, but I feel like that is coming soon.

I may post about arguments, fears, issues we may have, or I may post about how wonderful of a man I know that he is.

He is a big part of my life, and I feel so lucky that I found him. : )
