Love Lines up Life in the Most Perfect of Ways

It's crazy to think of all the events that had to happen in the right order to meet you

All the decisions and instances had to occur in just the right way

The timing and outcomes of every decision and choice that led up to you

The lucky happenstances that lined up both of our lives to meet each other

Being born the times that we were in the places that we were

Going to school at the same place and never seeing one another

Our families not moving to any other place or street or state

The way we went through our childhoods picking up and liking the same things

Experiencing the same things but on opposite ends of the same place

Meeting new friends and hanging out to become the people that we eventually became

Nothing happening to us to lead us away or separate us farther than we were

Getting jobs at the same restaurant around the same time to meet and talk

The way I would share stories with you about someone else that hooked you in

My heart leaving a note in my mind that you were someone to pay attention to

Our lives splitting off in different directions but crossing at just the right times

Reminders to one another that this person was special and there for a reason

Not getting any other jobs that I tried for and keeping me at the grocery store

Events not working out and others working out to keep me at that spot

A specific amount of time passing for both of our lives to develop

Good and bad situations happening to us both to direct our lives to certain points

You making a decision to visit home on that particular weekend

Me working that weekend in that position and no other at that exact time

A lunch break not happening yet and a trip for lottery tickets being decided

The order of customers working out in a way that I was able to wait on you

Our hearts pulling out those notes to remind us that there was that special person

That look you gave me just before you turned that corner

The look that in just one second explained all the intricate feelings of being in love

One look that never left my heart and drove me to new heights that day

How every single moment in our lives happened up to that point

Anything could have happened to change our course or lead us a different way

One choice, one word, one turn and it all would turn off into another direction

But it didn't and it all led up to that afternoon like perfect alignment

No matter how far life could pull us, our connection always remained

A chain that never broke no matter how far it was stretched

A chain made out of the strongest material that could weather anything thrown at it

A chain made out of love

Every single day my mind cycles through memories of you that make me smile

Memories that are the best I have and would not be possible if one thing had been different

The amount of people on this planet and our lives managed to line up in a special way

At night my dreams are full of visions of you

In the daytime it is filled with day dreams of adventures with you

The unique and rare coupling of share common interests

When compared to all others you are an unmatched perfect contender

With a beautiful smile that has the ability to right all wrongs

With a touch that can heal any wound physical or mental

The lining up of all the events in our lives will never cease to amaze me

Just like the beautiful girl who hooked my heart in that special day

I miss you more and more every day that passes with the sun in the sky

My heart beating your name our loud so that all can hear it

Love is the most beautiful feeling in the world

An indescribable feeling that shoots through every cell of your body

A euphoric feeling that exudes the feeling of pure bliss

It's no surprise that the best feeling in life is felt when I think of you

It's only fitting that someone so amazing gives off the feeling of love in such a powerful way

My love for you stands strong

Always

Love, Your Edward

A Valentine Surprise and a House Guest

Every day waking up next to you is a day that starts off with the best feeling in the world.  Living down in Florida brought with it a host of new experiences and different things that were interesting, fun, and sometimes not so much fun.  The breaking points were starting to show in Megel's friend's marriage and it was a difficult position to be in.  Her husband came over once to hang out and do some laundry and I watched a Million Ways to Die in the West with him and due to him being a bit high, he laughed all throughout the movie like it was the best thing he had ever seen in his life.  It made the movie more enjoyable but at the same time made me question if it really was funny to him or being high just made everything funny.  We had them both over for dinner one night and played a game of pictionary on the wii u putting couple against couple.  The couple would soon start to fight a lot more and her friend would demand to see Megels more but they would still manage good relations with us.  I started to feel the art itch again and now that life was more comfortable, I took this time to try some art projects and work on my craft.  This is where the art challenges originated online against a friend of mine from the past.  He would choose the subject theme and then we would go off and draw our own versions to be revealed online to all.  It was a way to practice art and draw things I maybe wouldn't normally draw either.  Out of this came some of my favorite works that I have done and was very good for my art confidence.  Megels would watch me draw and come up with ideas of her own to which I would make for her.  One in particular was a canvas print for the wall that said Be You Tiful with the You being all glittery.  The art contests were fun but eventually they slowed and some of the competitions I wasn't a big fan of the theme or had difficulty coming up with something.

When Valentine's Day rolled around, Megels got us the most wonderful gift that I couldn't believe she did and we made good use of it many many times.  She surprised me with passes for us to go to Universal whenever we wanted no matter how many times we wanted to go.  I was ecstatic and was so happy that we could go to our special place and experience the parks at our own lesiure over and over again and really get the most out of everything that they offered.  If we didn't have time to get it all in then we could just go another day, it was the best gift ever.  The continuing times we went began some traditions of our own each and every time that we went.  On one of the times, Megels bought a Star Wars backpack that looked like designs from a tatoo shop and we would fill that up with everything we may need for the park day like water bottles, sandals, and our passes and such.  On the drives there, we would try and see how many accidents we saw on the road.  It was a sad game to play but there would always seem to be almost three every single time, the roads there were always filled with some kind of crazy person who caused a crash.  We would listen to music, ask trivia out loud, or come up with stories that I could write something new for.  Now that we weren't restricted to just one day, we were able to check out many of the offerings that the park had available like all the restaurants and other little rides.  We got stuck with two females when we went to eat at the Leaky Cauldron one time and could not wait for them to be done with their meal so we could eat in peace.  Another special night we found out that the Goo Goo Dolls were playing a concert there and we took some time to listen to a couple songs and sing alone to one as well.  The one time I flipped the quote of the girl who wants to go to comic cons instead of concerts.  After a few times we managed to come up with a system of which side we would tackle first and which rides and how long the lines usually were and what we wanted to try and get to first before the lines got too long.  We began to memorize the line videos while we waited for the rides, the two we did most were the Spider-Man ride and Transformers.  She loved when I would say 'It's a diversion!!" and I liked when she would say "taking a bite out of the big apple."  There were vendors who sold food along some of the paths and it was crazy to me that they would sell a big ol' turkey leg for people to munch on while they waiting in lines.  Just seemed caveman-like to me standing in line with a big leg of food but everytime we saw one we would mimic a hand gesture and say 'turkey leg.'  The end of the nights were my favorite because we would walk hand in hand along the little lake they had there just listening to the calm music.  It was like we had just gone on 50 dates and were walking along the clouds back to heaven together.  The one night they projected a special film celebrating the years of films of Universal and we stood and watched it, she stood behind me on a higher ledge and put her arms around me while we watched.  I didn't show it at the time but I would tear up because the moment was so perfect.

By the end of the day when we would go to the parks, our feet were killing us and were almost blistered up from walking all day.  After the drive home sometimes we would stop and get food and one night in particular she ordered from Taco Bell the best order I'll never forget.  Megels leaned out to the speaker and ordered, the box with all the tacos in it.  That had me giggling the rest of the night while we sat our worn out selves down on the couch and watched Netflix and ate tacos until we fell asleep.  Sometimes we would wake up after an hour or in the middle of the night and transfer ourselves to the bed but there were some nights where we'd wake up where we passed out the night before.  Universal is the happiest most special place I have ever been to and she made it so perfect.  Knowing that it was both of our first times there before and now we could experience it with the two of us whenever was really sweet and heartfelt to me. 
Once we got into the swing of things, her friend's marriage fell apart and things started to get a little bad for her.  Not only was she starting to see random people but she was beginning a new life that wasn't the smartest move and eventually she was out of the house they had and had nowhere to go and spoke to Megels about staying with us.  I had so much anxiety and issues with her friend and now she was going to be staying with us?  I couldn't imagine being able to be myself or act the way I did with Megels with her being around.  But, she really didn't have anywhere to go and Megels kind of owed her since that's who she stayed with while she was looking for a place for us when she came down there herself before.  In no time her friend was with us and I was feeling really uncomfortable.  To her sweet amazing credit, Megels did her best to make sure everything was alright.  We didn't have to change much and one night she went an extra mile and told her friend to close her ears as we were going to have sex in the shower.  Which we did.  Megels is amazing and while it was very difficult for me to have that person in my home, we managed to get through it and it wasn't too too long before she had found a place and we were back to being by ourselves again.  The two people in love who were back alone to act as we please with the home to ourselves.  Well, for the moment.....

The story continues in part 15...........................

Miss you darlin, every single day more and more.  I picture all the fun adventures we could have and making you laugh so I can hear that wonderful laugh again.  The clouds may be raining but my heart is full of sunshine with thoughts of you.  I want to do so much with you and share so much.  My heart beats with love for you and continues to wish for the day I can hold you in my arms again.  You are my dew drop and I am all yours, always.

Love, Your Edward

Friend Filled New Year with my Love

She was beauty, she was a vision, she was all that I ever needed and everything I ever would.  While we were down in Florida, we had visited and were visited by her friend and her husband for an increasingly more frequent time.  It wasn't crazy because it was Megel's only friend from back home down there and at the moment really the only person that we knew to hang out with.  I wasn't a big fan of this friend even before I knew Megels.  She had a habit of being a handful and a bit controlling.  She was a good person at heart but it seemed to look like the more time she spent down there at her new home the worse she was as a person.  There were good nights where we would sit outside with others around a backyard fire and talk and listen to stories.  Dinner was had a few times and her friend liked it when I complained about my jobs, especially one in particular.  "Turquoise, everywhere."  But the only places her friend wanted to go were bars and out at night drinking and the frequency of these times started to become a more than weekly event.  Megels had struggled with a period in her life with drinking and I didn't want her to fall back down that  road again so I was always concerned when she would go out with her friend.  She would come back drunk a lot of the time and it was upsetting to see her keep doing it.  I don't think it was because she was unhappy, I think it was just that she wanted to be a friend for her friend and if that was the way it had to be then she would go hang out with her friend.  But even she had her limits and could see that her friend was starting to become someone she knew less and less.  The worst part of all for me was that sometimes it seemed like she would choose her friend over me or drop what we may have planned for her friend.  Yeah, we lived together and it wasn't like we couldn't do anything the next day or any other time but it started to worry me that if her friend called or wanted to hang out that it overruled whatever it was we were doing.  There were some times when the friend would just show up to our place so we had no choice.  One night she took it upon herself to just redecorate our place even though I didn't want her to because I wanted that to be something me and Megels shared so it was our thing.  Megels let her do it with no fight and admittedly I handled it very poorly.  I stormed out and didn't answer my phone for hours.  Childish behavior that could've been handled way better.  Megels wasn't at fault there and she shouldn't have had to been upset by something I was too childish to handle.  When I did come back, the setup wasn't that bad and I felt really badly for how I had acted.  I think it was just the fact that her friend overruled me again.  The hatchet was buried and before we knew it, New Years was coming up and we hadn't celebrated that holiday in our new home so I was pretty excited to share it with my love down at the beach.  But her friend wanted us all to go to a big party night down near the beach with her and spend the night there.  She won out of course and it wasn't that bad but huge crowds and super loud environments where you can't hear anyone isn't my idea of being able to relax and enjoy something.  I was beginning to get aggravated that this friend seemed to now be almost directing our lives.  I wanted more things to be between me and my girl so that we could share them together but her friend took over so much of it.  The aggravation hit a little high that night and I upset Megels to tears because of my behavior.  Looking back on it now, I am ashamed and embarrassed.  Megels was nothing but an angel and because of my dislike of her friend, I let it poison the night.  The ball dropped and fireworks went off and we hugged and kissed and gave our midnight vows to one another and I was still a little testy about the situation and wasn't the greatest at that either.  If I could go back to that night I would hold her tightly and look into those big beautiful brown eyes and say:
Megels my darlin dew drop, I love you with all of my heart and I am sorry for my behavior as of lately.  It has nothing to do with you and I am just a little down like she's being chosen over me a lot of the time.  But I don't want that to tarnish or hurt our life together and tonight marks a new year for us.  I vow to treat you like the goddess that you are because I only know true happiness because of you.  I'm sorry for any and all pain that I have caused you and want to put my best self forward for you.  I want to earn you as my wife and make sure that every day you smile and laugh more than the day before.  I love you sweetness, happy new year.
After the party was breaking apart we went to a restaurant and had some food before all retiring home, but not before her friend made plans with us to hang out the next day at the beach.  Which, I will also admit, wasn't that bad either.  I played some frisbee with her husband and watched my darlin stand in the sand talking to friends.  It was one of the moments where I felt the couples being together where the guys did something while the girls talked and watched them thing was happening.  It was a very neat feeling and further felt like this was right and I had achieved something I never thought that I would.
During this time I stepped up some of my drawing and tried to do it more and try new things to try and make some money off of my art with some projects.  I had seen my sister's friend painted the top of a coffee table and I was impressed by it and thought it was something I could do as well and sell it.  My first attempts were really amazing attempts, so good in fact that I almost kept the first one that I did.

Megels was my biggest supporter and came up with the idea of creating an online store through Etsy and even gave me the name that I should call it.  Geek Sense.  The store was set up and before I knew it I had an online outlet for my art.  We also became more movie going and with a movie theater literally across the street we were able to catch up on many films that came out that year.  A few that we ended up seeing were Ninja Turtles, 50 Shades of Grey, Avengers Age of Ultron, Cinderella, Minions, Insidious 3, Deliver Us from Evil, Ant-Man, and I went to see Jurassic World.
There was a zoo that we drove to that while not as great as the one back home, was alright and we were able to see some animals and have a nice little date day as well.

The new year was off to a good start and when we went to the mall one weekend day, she did something that I had hoped a girl would do my entire life.  Watching so many romantic movies and seeing my friends go through the same thing, I never thought it would happen to me.  She said let's go look at rings, I want to pick out the one I want you to get me.  The feeling I got when she said that was almost the same exact feeling as an orgasm.  We walked over and the man behind the counter was the best ever and very personable and not pushy.  He let her try a few rings before she knew exactly which one she wanted and he gave me all the information I needed on a business card for when I was ready.  We ended up seeing the ring two to three more times every time we went to that mall from that moment forward.   A girl finally was ready for me to marry them and lucky for me it was Megels, the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.  It was like a dream that I wanted to keep pinching myself to see if I was actually awake.  The new year was shaping up to be the best one yet.  Little did I know it was about to get a whole lot better.....and a whole lot worse.

The story continues in part 14............................

Missing you so much right now darlin.  I think about you now more than ever.  There's so much I want to do with you it's driving me crazy.  I re-went over the Maniac Mansion script and it reminds me so much of you and your excitement for it.  I want to stream ducktales on twitch for you to watch, I miss playing games for you.  My dreams continue to be filled with you, it's amazing just how many nights I have you in my dreams.  You are the most amazing, beautiful girl I've ever met and my heart continues to beat in your doorway praying for that day your hand reaches out.  I love you with all of my heart dew drop.  Always.

Love, Your Edward

I've Never Met Anyone Like You

The girl of my dreams is a vision of beauty

Can sense when someone is down and do their best to lift their spirits

Her creativity expanding to new ideas all the time

She is the best player 2 anyone could ask for in any game played

When times get tough she looks at those times in the eye and says stop it

She is well read and a believer in reading books

Her presence evokes the best feelings my body has ever felt inside and out

The breeze right before a much needed rain shower

The lapping of the waves around every ocean

The first sprouted flower to signify the coming of Spring

The best hand to hold for safety, warmth, and love

The way the sun lights up a perfect day with the perfect temperature

She makes the best food, a chili chef extraordinaire in her own right

A sense of humor that plays off perfectly with my own

Her writing an inspiration and a constant push to keep going

Looking into her eyes I can see the best happiest future anyone could ever hope for

A nerd who loves the best of things with a passion

She is someone who sharing interests with becomes a favorite pasttime

A wonderful focus on education with a will to achieve

The perfect height that compliments my own

Her brown eyes a beautiful mix of the color's best foot forward

She holds on at night in bed like we're both going on a dangerous space trip

The most encouraging supportive person that I have ever met

Her body created from God's best stock, a pleasure to the eyes

Her ability to make me laugh in any situation to relieve any manner of stress

Outgoing to find new places and experiences we both can share

The way she grew to love being called Megels

The way she always calls me dew drop or darlin

She had a host of little touches that meant the world to me

Assembling magnetic letters on the front of the fridge

Sending me pictures of her making faces during the day to make me smile

Zooming in on facetime to her nose just to make me laugh before bed

Paying attention to things I had wanted but never really spoke of

She decorates a place with the degree of a master class designer

Her singing voice in the car creates the best atmosphere for any trip

A knowledge of just about every song ever made is truly impressive

The way she can make me feel like I can accomplish anything in life

The joy I feel when I bring her flowers and her smile explodes

She has the largest heart and will help out those down on their luck

The cutest geek who wears Marvel shoes and star wars shirts

Whose arm wraps around mine when we watch a movie in the theater

The little pinky around mine when laying on the beach tanning

She is pure and real and the most unique person I have ever met

Her body moves in the such a way like it is hypnotic liquid

Making love to her is without a doubt the best my body has ever experienced

A prepared, focused, determined mind with a future that she works hard to make real

The way she loves to watch me draw or play a game completely content

Her putting her favorite art pieces on the wall so she could see them daily

I've never met anyone more beautiful than her

I've never met anyone more perfect in every little way than her

She makes me desire to be alive

She makes me desire to be the best person I can be

She makes me want to do whatever I can to make her the happiest girl in the world

I've never met anyone I wanted to bring flowers to every day

I've never met anyone I would walk a million miles just to see

I've never met anyone as kind, true, and amazing as you

The way my heart feels and believes is a thing of beauty and wonder

I've never met anyone that has continuously made me feel that way

Nobody but Megels

I don't want my mistakes to define me

I want my heart to lead me

All roads in life lead to the most beautiful of outcomes

You.

I miss you with all of my heart dew drop

I love you with even more

You are the wind beneath my wings.

Love, Your Edward

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you, there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do

Christmas with the Love of my Life

Love for me is the meaning of life.  The one emotion and feeling that all things feel and strive for.  It is the one emotion that is the hardest to describe and the one emotion that feels the best.  The feeling causes butterflies in the stomach, euphoria in the brain, and tingles all throughout your body.  Love makes you do crazy things and makes you want to spend time with one person every single day.  Love is the best feeling that humans can feel and December was full of it.  Fresh off the heights of Universal, we took to the apartment each doing our own little redecorating.  The kittens ran around freely, Harley being a bit of a little troublemaker and it was an interesting feeling during the winter season.  For one, the temperature was about the same as it was all year round so there wasn't really any physical sign of winter nor did it feel like it at all.  Christmas music would fill stores and areas but it seemed oddly out of place when the rest of the environment looked like summer still.  The apartment was decorated with all manner of holiday cheer, my favorite being the mistletoe that she hung above the entrance to the hallway that led to our bedroom.  The most important part of the holiday was the tree and this would be our first full size regular tree that we would set up in our living room.  The trip to Walmart was fun, we picked out the tree that we liked best and would fit in our place and watched as the worker set up a little net hoop and tossed the tree inside of it making an instant net bag to hold/carry the tree in.  Once we transported it home we carried it up the stairs to our door leaving a million needles behind us as a trail.  Once inside we set it up in the corner by the balcony doors and then brought out the bin of decorations that she had and one night we spent decorating our new tree.  While we decorated, we watched some Christmas specials including Garfield, tv show holiday episodes, and some celebrity roast old videos that Megels said she found funny when she caught some on television some time back.  The kittens found this new tree something of a challenge to see just how many times they could mess with it or get inside it and climb around.  They would sit on the edge of the couch and look at it wondering in what way they could conquer this new thing.

As with any tree, the star sort of pulled the top a little bit sideways but in the end it looked wonderful and we achieved our first tree together.  We celebrated the season with some holiday movies like the Grinch and her personal favorite White Christmas.  Before the end of the month we scheduled a few days to take a trip home to spend the holiday with our families as to see them for the Christmas season.  We made all the arrangements at work and someone to stop in and check on the kittens while we were gone as Doggert was going to be joining us on our trip.  The drive was another long one but this time it was like a real traveling experience because with each hour that we drove it became colder and colder the more north we went.  Being around the warm weather so much it was going to be an adjustment to experience how cold it was.  Driving was always a fun time for me even though the amount of time was long and tiredness would set in.  There was something about spending time with that person and having so much time to just talk and sing and introduce some new things in the car like music, podcasts, and even some trivia.  Most drives would start off with her music and singing and then slowly drop off to looking at things on the road and trying to take pictures of the state signs once we crossed over into them.  We would switch off after every few hours letting the other one sleep but we would always not be able to since whatever the other person was listening to became so interesting we wanted to hear it.  One in particular was when I would listen to Nerdist interviews and she was trying to sleep but wasn't and said that she wanted to sleep but these were so interesting to listen to.  When we got home, there was some snow on the ground and the cold bit at us and we remembered just why we didn't miss the weather.  We dropped each other off and spent time with our families, sending pictures and face timing at night to each other.  The holiday was nice and it was nice to see family but they were behaving a little oddly almost trying to invoke some serious guilt on me for not being close to the family.  It was starting to upset me and make me feel really bad.  It wasn't fair, I was really happy and with the person I loved more than anything and they were making me feel like it was wrong and I was ruining the family.  The feeling wasn't good and started to mess with my anxiety a bit.  It wasn't long before I just wanted to go back and hold Megels at night while we watched TV.

The holiday visit was over and we were back on our way home, the feeling of arriving to warmer temperatures and being back at a place where I called my new home felt relieving.  I actually felt like I belonged in my new home, like it was mine.  Being with Megels down there felt right and that I had a place I could breathe and know that I was with someone who truly did care and have the same feelings of the future as me.  A few days later we took a little afternoon date to the beach to walk around and just be out together.  It was a beautiful evening and reminded me just why I fell in love with her and how special and amazing our future could be together.  The ocean was the most soothing feeling and watching the water go in and out was better than hypnosis.  Walking along the beach, the sand between our toes and holding hands was like walking through a dream.  For the first time in my life I was in one of the dreams I would always have where I was happily with someone I loved somewhere I loved, but it wasn't a dream.  It was real.  It was another post I remember her posting commenting on our afternoon date and how much she enjoyed it.  One that replays in my head over and over.  True happiness is watching her standing on that beach, the wind in her hair, our hands together as the water spills over our feet and we are just watching the sun go down.  The most perfect instance as to why love cannot be described.  That moment, that feeling, being with her there is the best I have ever felt in my life.  My heart beats so hard now just remembering how it felt.

Every moment spent with her is a dream come true.  Megels has a way of making you feel like you belong and that you are safe with her.  She reassures you that the future you are working towards is the best and funnest one there could possibly be.  She has beauty beyond measure and knowing that I was spending my time with someone who felt the same as me about all manner of subjects and interests was the icing on the cake.  It felt like all of my worries and issues were just melting off of me and the more I touched her, held her, the more those worries were deleted from my consciousness.  Megels is a rare unique person who doesn't come along into life for no reason.  There is nothing I wouldn't do to be near her, to be with her.  As we stood there watching the sky turn pink and orange, I felt time around us freeze and it was just us alone in the world in that spot that nobody knew about.  That moment was ours and would last and last.  It was moments like that that further cemented the idea in my head that I wanted to put a ring on her finger.  There was no doubt about it.  I would walk a million miles just to see her.  I would climb the highest of mountains just to be close to her.  I would conquer any fear to be with her until the day I die.  Love is the best feeling in the world and true love only comes along with the perfect soul mate.  There I was standing on the beach with mine in my hand.

The story continues in part 13...................

I miss you dew drop.  Every day I count as it goes by with memories of you and the fun adventure of a future we could have.  Your letter in my hand getting me through each day.  Every evening I sit by the window and remember us standing on that beach, hand in hand.  My heart beats for you and believes that we are meant to be.  I love you so very much and that will always be my heart's message to you.  I will be here ready to stand on that beach with you again, always.

Love, Your Edward

Miss you darlin, a little drawing of us at Universal in our robes and with our wands.

Love Cannot be Denied

I refuse to stop wishing upon every star that shoots across the sky

I refuse to deny my mind thoughts of you every day

The butterflies in my stomach fly free with feelings for you

Every cell courses through my body on currents of love

I believe that I can make you smile bigger and laugh harder

Every dream I live through at night are all scenarios with you

The happy feelings are caused by memories shared with you

Each heart beat in my chest spells out your name

I refuse that they will twirl your hair like I do

That they will hold you through the night like I will

Every gust of wind brings my love to flight over miles for you

I refuse to not believe in serendipity and the lining up of moments

Each day is made better with a thought or vision of you

That one ray of sunshine in the middle of a thunderstorm

You are love visually represented in the physical world

My eyes are the luckiest part of me being able to see your beauty

I refuse to deny that electrical feeling inside me

Memories play on a loop through my head every day I am awake

The bed seems miles long and empty without you next to me

My hands the loneliest of all, reaching out for yours to hold

Days are full of fantasies of the fun adventures we could have

Travels and experiences all shared with a perfect other half

Time itself seems to stand still without you around

A life seemingly on hold while the days repeat over and over

I refuse to deny my heart thoughts of you

I refuse to look love in the face and disbelieve what it is saying

Will he let you be you

Share in all the same interests like two pees in a pod

Make sure you are kissed on the forehead before bed and first thing in the morning

Massage your back after a long day of work

Let you game all day until your eyes are killing you

Cook you chicken that he can never replicate the same a second time

Watch Sound of Music, White Christmas, and Spice World

Adore your Marvel shoes, Zelda shirt, and Star Wars backpack

Quote Harry Potter, Spider-Man, and How I Met Your Mother

Take you to Supernatural con, comic cons, and bob ross museum

Create art for you, poems for you, and join in your music

The Cher, Journey, Lionel Richie, and the first NOW CD

Cheer you on while you beat Ducktales, Banjo, Mystical Ninja, and Lego

I refuse to deny my heart its messages sent to me

Love is an amazingly unique thing that is given to life

You know it when it's true and cannot deny it otherwise

A feeling of right

I refuse to deny my heart's love for you

I refuse to deny love's message to me

There is one girl out there who fits it all perfectly without a fault

The girl who I know my heart's love is true

You.

Love, Your Edward

Miss you

Love you

My heart beats for you every day the sun rises

Always

An Invitation to a First Special Place

When two people are meant to be, things begin to line up and happen that lay out a path that is filled with fun and adventure.  Just being able to live with the prettiest girl and wake up to her smiling face every day was a gift I would pray for every day of my life.  December brought with it a season of joy and a week of family plans that provided a new experience for me.  An offer was presented to join her side to accompany them to the theme park of Universal Studios.  I had read up a lot on the park as well as we both did a while back looking into the Harry Potter world that had been opened up.  Our vow to go there someday had now come to fruition and my mind could hardly make sense of it all.  Laying in bed I found myself actually worried that having fun would upset my family at home as it would show them that I was indeed capable of having a happy life not being near them.  Which I was.  But a part of me felt bad and it wouldn't have if my mother would have taken things better and been more supportive.  But, there was no way I was going to let this opportunity pass me by.  I couldn't say yes faster and made sure I was all ready to go and had my directions with me so that the next day I could drive out to meet them at the hotel they were staying at.  Before I knew it I was off towards the funnest most amazing place I had ever been to.  When you get to the park you are directed to an area to park your car in that was labeled as a character that was in the park.  So your section was either ET, Spider-Man, and so on.  We walked to the main area, peeking out of the windows as we went at the various colors and shapes of things that we would soon be seeing up close.  I didn't care if anyone noticed but I was jumping out of my skin with excitement and had looked up what was there the night before and was itching to see how the Spider-man ride was.  The overwhelming wave of things to look at and see and experience was like an electric shock to my system and I was so lucky and happy that Megels was there to experience it for the first time with me.  It was now our special place that we had only been to with each other.  The first place we walked through was the Marvel island where there was an incredible hulk coaster that I was a little too nervous to ride right away and then the fabled Spider-Man ride that her family walked by towards the next section.  Well, we'd come back to ride it right?  Right?  After that was a section devoted to older cartoons and we tried to name what we could and posed with a photo setup that made it look like a dog was carrying you away very fast through the air.  As I write this I am remembering that we went the other way first, through the Dr.Suess land with its uncomfortable Cat in the Hat ride and a train ride that took you over the rooftops of the rest of the area.  Right past that was a small little bridge that led to a large statue and what at first got us excited that it may be Harry Potter but it wasn't.  We were so amped and this area was more of a short little attraction place with live shows and a restaurant but after that.....after that was the big big excitement.  Walking forward we saw the snow covered tops of houses and an archway that opened up to see the Hogwarts Express.  We were finally there.

This was wonderland come to life.  There weren't and still aren't words to describe just how magical the experience is stepping into the world come alive right in front of your eyes.  To make it that much better, they played theme music from the movies over the air to put you completely immersed in the environment.  I lost count of how many times me and Megels smiled and looked at each other in awe.  Everything you could think of was there and down to the last detail.  We tried our first butter beers and made our way to Hogwarts castle itself.  The castle was practically life size and once inside, your eyes were melted by the exact replica of everything.  The pictures on the walls moved and talked and you got to see Dumbledore's office and Harry, Hermione, and Ron themselves in one room practicing magic.  At the end of it all was the ride where they buckled you into a 'floating' chair and me and Megels kept leaning out to look at each other screaming like children.  The ride was like nothing I had ever been on before.  Through the use of large screens and physical props and more I was transported to actually being in the world.  From dragons to living trees to riding broomsticks with Harry, I was going to need surgery to get the smile off of my face.  Me and Megels were blown away and could not stop talking about how amazing the ride was for the next two hours.  In order to get to the next area we would take the Hogwarts Express itself which played a video on the window to simulate us actually going through the mountains towards the new area.
On the other side we were greeted with more movie themed rides as well as more Harry Potter world.  A simpsons ride made everyone feel sick and the Mummy ride turned out to be Megel's favorite ride of the park.  She was a big fan of the movies and being able to see it all and coaster through the world was something she really got a kick out of.  The other side of the park contained a less than thrilling Twister ride that thankfully isn't there anymore, an ET ride that was not so much fun, a men in black ride, and an area that was made up to look like a street in old hollywood.  We got to ride the transformers ride that was a combination of 3D and all sorts of tricks to make you feel like you were actually there with the most fun we had was making fun of the little mouth of one of the robots when he talked on the video while waiting in line.  The park was a dream come true and I wouldn't have wanted it to have been with anyone else.  Falling in love with Megels was the best thing to ever happen to me and the fact that we were achieving something we were only just talking about doing months before was eye opening as to how wonderful our connection was.  The entire family knew what I was waiting for too and at the end of the day we made our way over to the Spider-man ride and my mind was blown in a million directions.  Me and my love again loved the quotes of the in line video especially of Hydro Man.
Gonna take a bite out of the big apple!
You're takin a dive!
The ride is easily the best ride i've ever been on in my life and I loved it so much I still watch videos of the ride online while I'm at home.

The end of the wonderful day was made complete by holding my love's hand and walking our way past the large lake in the middle of the park and to city walk.  Our feet were yelling at us for what we put them through all day but I couldn't have been happier.  Every ride holding her hand and experiencing everything the park offered for the first time with her was the best dream I could have.  The funnest park in the world with the most beautiful girl in the world.  While there I bought us wands that we could use in special points in Harry Potter world to perform magic and it was such a good feeling to be with someone who felt the same as me and wanted to do just the same things.  Our connection was shooting hearts into the air and our nerdy little selves were smiling ear to ear.  Universal is our special place and means a lot to me.  It was a place that only me and her experienced and made our own.  The wonderful night ended with me and the girl of my dreams in the spare bedroom snuggled together after one of the best days we had together.  I kissed her with the most love I could give and we fell asleep in each other's arms, wands at our sides.
I was very lucky and thankful that I was invited along to the park and was very grateful too.  It was a super fun day that set in motion even more of those days to come along in the future, making Universal more and more our place.  December was off to a very wonderful start.

The story continues in part 12............................

Missing you like crazy darlin dew drop.  My thoughts are full of you and the smiles we share.  Universal with you always brings a smile to my face.  I want to go again with you dressed in Hogwarts robes with our wands and ride all the rides, even the one I always skipped.  I've been watching Home Improvement and of all shows it has made me really want to start a family.  I imagined reading to the baby through your tummy and at night before they go to bed I'd read Harry Potter in all the voices.  With each day I send more and more of my heart to you.  My nerdy sweetheart who makes my heart fill with butterflies that she is the one who watched the force awakens trailer over and over, wore Marvel shoes, had a ninja turtle pencil topper, wore her hey listen shirt, wanted to go to all comic cons with me, and the girl who I would fight voldemort just to be close to.  I love you with everything in me and miss you with even more.  My heart is yours dew drop.  Always.

Love, Your Edward
