He loves somebody else.....

...and they love him back.

Where does this leave me?
I'm trying to find the appropriate response. I have never been in this situation before.

He loves my family. My entire family.
We'll be spending time with them, and he'll go off with someone else. We go somewhere, and I completely loose him because he's taken off with Dane. He and Dad can talk forever about working on houses and such things. We go to the gym with Taylor and Amanda, and those two guys are quite content to lift weights and leave us girls to do our own thing. Nicole says he fits right in, and she's right.
So where does this leave me? Absolutely ecstatic! I love it! Because, you see, he loves me too.
He is so, so good to me. These past few weeks, he has been working on my house every chance he gets. My bathroom is done! Pictures of that bathroom to come in a later post. There is now a light in my living room. There used to be a big unfinished gap in my kitchen cabinetry next to my dishwasher, but he built a cabinet. There used to be an awkward doorway in my hallway, that is gone. I wish I had pictures, but I don't think you can appreciate the work, because I don't have before pictures. He did such a good job, everything looks like it was already there. He has done even more, but it might get kinda boring if I go into a long list of all he has done.
Not only has he been working on my house, he has helped CLEAN my house, more than once. It's been hard for me to get to it because I have been working a ton. He has washed dishes, vacuumed carpets, and mopped floors.
With all this, he still finds lots of time to spend with me, and he is so fun to spend time with. I think I have found Mr. Perfect. I had no idea there was someone out there that "fit" me so well. That there was someone that would treat me so good. Good is not a strong enough word, amazingly, wonderfully good.
I could go on about all the ways he is perfect for me, but I will spare you.
Sorry for all the mush, but let's face it. I'm in love.

The Tree House

Kent took my girls and me to the Tree House in Ogden. There was so much fun stuff for kids. My girls loved the train tracks.





















And the fire truck









And the kitchen








Camryn is looking at dragon fly wings through the telescope.
Kendra is painting on clay tiles with water.


There were dinosaurs to play with around a volcano and dinosaurs to trace.














I think Kendra drew on a little more than the trace paper.














Kendra loved the babies. She decided to give the baby to Kent and chase them around with a flying dinosaur.
BEWARE! SCARY DINOSAUR IN THIS VIDEO.





He was still smiling at the end of this excursion. I think that's a good sign.










That evening we went to dinner at the home of Kent's friends, Mike and Elisa. Dinner was amazing. They are such fun people. Mike took a few pictures of us.

We had a great day!

Spoiled

My bedroom

To the unknowing-eye, this is a just picture of a plain, undecorated bedroom. This room is seriously lacking some things. Would you believe that 2 days ago, this room was even more barren? I did not have a light in my bedroom. I had a light in my closet, which was a measly source of light when I needed it. What a difference this new wonderful light makes. I can really see things now! You would think that a person would really notice the difference. Especially the person that has been using this room everyday (aka ME). Well, I didn't notice it.

I came home from work yesterday, and Kent was making dinner for me and my girls. It was wonderful! Then he had stuff to make banana splits for desert. He also did the dishes. I was feeling pretty spoiled.

I walked into my room at one point, but didn't notice the light or turn it on. I went in later, to change out of my work clothes into sweats. I turned on the light (it was wired to the switch that used to turn on my closet light). The fan even came on. I proceeded to change and sat on my bed. Then I felt the air and looked up. OH MY GOSH! I sat there, staring at it in shock.

Kent purchased the light and supplies, and installed it while I was at work. Ummm...I was already feeling pretty spoiled. He has sent me 6 red vased roses, twice in this last week. The second time, they came with a pink carnation addressed to Princess Camryn and one addressed to Princess Kendra.

So some of you may be asking now, who is Kent? As hard as this is for me to admit, I am going to say it. I met him online. What caught my attention was how he seemed so family oriented and his amazing sense of humor.

We met in person for the first time on New Year's Day. We went out with Taylor and Amanda, Nicole and Travis, and Jonathan. Yes, he met me and most my family all in one shot and he was a great sport. Little did I know, Nicole and Amanda were in on the light and dinner thing.



What I like most is the spiritual things we have shared. We have been reading scriptures when we get together and sharing our beliefs and experiences. I have never had that.



He has been spoiling my girls, bringing them treats and toys. He also brought his little dog, Tobi. My girls loved him. The poor little dog got malled.



So, I just met Kent a week ago. He has been spoiling all three of us girls like crazy. He has been sweet, fun, and respectful. I am really excited to get to know him better.

Going Private

It was recently brought to my attention how much a person can learn about me and my family from reading this blog. A scary amount of information, even though I thought I was being careful. So, I have decided to go private. If I don't have your e-mail, and you would like an invitation, leave your e-mail in the comments. I will delete it as soon as I get it down, so your e-mail isn't viewable to the entire world.
Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause, but my family's safety has to come first.
