Flip Flops and Butterflies

I just read an old post of mine which I wrote about a month before I met you, someone who actually gives me flip flops in my belly and butterfly feelings.  I am glad I waited, even though there have been a lot of highs and lows, the feelings I have felt have been worth it. I love how I giggle when I think about you, I adore how people can see how I feel when I talk about you, I want to do anything I can for you, whatever it is to make you smile and to make you happy.

Lately helping you makes me happy, I have found that I love cooking when I was sure I just didn't.  I am grateful that I was wrong and I have tried so many things that I never would have attempted and realized I am a pretty darn good cook. I am looking forward to coming up with new ideas for making new dishes.

I have to thank you, you got me out of the funky mood I was in... I was at a fork in the road in my life when I was sure I would never feel anything ever again for anyone. And even if this does not turn out to last a lifetime, it was exactly what I needed in my life at this time. If I had not met you, I may not have continued to believe that I deserved to feel flip flops and butterflies, I might have settled for less and been very unhappy. Now I know that no matter what, I will be forever grateful that I know that I am worth it and that I deserve the best.  I deserve to be loved as we all do.

I knew the moment that I met you that you were different and special, it was in your eyes and overtime I was proven right. I am grateful that I didn't give up on you and walk away when it seemed unlikely I would have you in my life. It just goes to show you that life can change just like that and it changed for the good for me. 

Thank you for letting me be there for you, for letting me care about you, for making me smile daily and for helping me to remember how lucky and blessed I am.
