Homework

A while ago our Rabbi asked us to send her a writing piece. It could be anything but it had to be about Goose and me.  I am in a 'blah' state at the moment. I am stressed, nervous, tired, emotional, and in the cryatanymoment stage. Both our parents arrive tomorrow and all of a sudden I feel as though there are millions of things to get done when really, there are about 3, PHEW!  I guess I feel there should be more... Ok, I am rambling...The letter to the Rabbi....

When I moved to WA from Southern CA I was in an extremely fragile place in my life.  I wasn’t ready to move yet knew it was the best choice for me at the time.  With massive amounts of support from my family I began living with my number 1 supporter and fan, my sister (aka MOH.)  I didn’t know anyone aside from MOH, BIL, and Jr BM. MOH included me in everything she did and her friends soon became mine, too. However, they were 10-13 yrs older and felt like extended brothers and sisters and I needed to meet or possibly date people closer to my age. 

I was on jdate.com and I saw Goose, who at the time was AIG14, and thought he was really good looking.  I ‘flagged’ him as being ‘hot.’  Well, I didn’t know he could see that.  All of a sudden I receive an email that said something along the lines of…”sorry this is so delayed….”  I had no clue what he was referring to as I hadn’t written him!  What he was talking about was that he saw I had flagged him as being ‘hot’ and that was about a month before he wrote me, LMAO  We continued to email for a couple of weeks and then we met.  This was December 12, 2007. December 12, 2009 we became engaged.

Its pretty safe to say that Goosers and I are complete opposites.  I am an unfocused, play be ear, short fused, zero patience, high stressed, massive ADD, unorganized Southern Ca gal while Goosers is a Type A, driven, focused, calm, structured Northern Ca guy who has a schedule for every minute of the day, has concept of time and makes an organized home for anything and everything.  What do we share – the fundamentals of making a relationship work: respect, passion, honesty, happiness, communication, values, love and EMOTIONS!!!   Besides, who was it that said opposites attract?

Goosers is a kind gentle ‘old’ soul who wears his heart on his sleeve. He doesn’t know how to raise his voice above level 10 and he holds no pride over shedding a tear.  My emotions are kept a bit more private, which is how I work, which often times results in an explosion (embarrassing but admitting.)  He can handle it.  Oh yes he can.  We hugely respect the differences between us, continue to communicate through them and are extremely passionate about the balance our differences offer each other.  

Rabbi, I waited a long time to find Goose.  I needed a Goose. Together we are a Type A, ADD, Emotional, on time, (dare I say) organized couple and it feels incredibly amazing knowing he is my number 1 supporter and fan forever, as I am his. 

Goose – as girls we all think we’re pretty lucky to have found our person.  I know I am the luckiest to have found you, there is no doubt about it.  From the greatest depths of my heart I can’t wait to build every step of our journey and be your person, forever -  xoxo more & most, 4 days until we start building =)

PS – I AM SICK, HEAD COLD SICK, WTF, COME ON PEOPLE…Oh and Jackie-O is wearing a cone! 

This arrived yesterday - tell me it isn’t something to smile about!?!?!? I can hardly wait for the dress picture, hahahahahaha

Ok going home – taking Vitamin C, NyQuil and sleeeeeeeeping!
