Well I guess that I should share this wonderful news with the world. I got a ring from Michael.  This is something that we had been talking about.  I know that he is the love of my life.  We have been through good and bad times…thankfully now are all good times.  We have been together for almost 7 years… that is along time to know someone.  But I don't think that we really knew each other till now.  We have both been through this whole addiction maddness together.  So I can say that he knows me at my best and my worst.  Michael brings me all the happiness in the world.  He is the calm to my storm.  He is strong where I am weak, and I am strong where he is weak.  He has taught me to leave the past in the past.  We can't change that only make the future better.  He loves me for me.  And some days that can be hard.  When I have had a bad day he is there to hold me and make it all go away.  I know that when he holds me in his arms that is here I feel the safest.  At that moment in time nothing in the whole wide world matters.  After working and going home we will sit and watch t.v and talk.  When we go to bed is my favorite time of the day.  To snuggle up next to him in the bed makes it all worth it.  Some people thought that since we had a "past" together that we would drag each other down.  I know that we are past all that stuff.  We look forward to the sillest things now, like if there is an episode of "Family Guy" or "Cops" on that we haven't seen.  I never thought that I deserved this wonderful life that I have. But I have the most amazing man in the world to share it with. Thank you Michael for making me the happiest girl in the world, and loving me for me.  Taking the good with the bad…I know that can be hard somedays!! I LOVE YOU!!!
