I have a great boyfriend

One of my biggest faults is that I’m really good at pushing people away. I spent almost a year with a man who loved me more than anything in this world and would have done anything for me. For that almost year, I spent the majority of the time being criticizing him and doing my best to push him away. Well I succeeded. I pushed him away, at least temporarily. Those months that we were on rocky ground gave me a new appreciation for him and all that he is. I am so fortunate because after all the rough times that we had, he STILL loves me more than anything in this world.

I have this perfume that he and I absolutely love. It’s my favorite perfume but for the life of me I can never remember what it’s called. Many months ago he and I were at the outlet mall and wandered into the a perfume store. We found my perfume but it wasn’t cheap so we didn’t get any. he and I were leaving Macy’s the other night and on our way out the door, he stopped at the perfume counter and picked up a bottle of my perfume.

I woke up this morning with a pinched nerve and can’t move my neck very well. I wanted to stick it out because my regular doctor is out of town, but my limited movement has grown increasingly more limited as the day goes on. I called my doctor’s office back and they told me that I could see his partner tonight, but they close at 6:00. Being downtown, that means I have to leave work 45 minutes early to catch an earlier train. Because I can barely turn my neck, I’m not so sure I’ll be able to drive. Rand is very busy at work these days, but I figured I’d ask him if he could leave a bit early to drive me. I know we spent the weekend together and I figured he’d have plans tonight, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask. My sweet man, in his typical nonchalant fashion, says “I suppose I could manage that”.

I really do have a wonderful boyfriend. No, he’s not perfect. And sometimes, just as I’m SURE the same applies for me, he has these traits that drive me up a wall. But you know what? He's perfect for me. He loves me more than anything in this world. And he may not get excited about things the way I do and he may give me a hard time about things sometimes, but he’s my baby and I love him back. But more importantly than loving him back is I appreciate him.

Thanks baby.
