When Love is Tough



I'm still feeling a little sad, and guilty, over leaving D. I know, logically, it's only for a few days. But I see my role, in our relationship, as the "supporter." I'm around to cheer him on, and to be there. To do the things for him, that he needs.

And when I'm not around, I feel insanely guilty! It might sound weird to some. But in our crazy, and very chaotic life, that's just the way it is. Plain and simple. He does so much for me, that I feel like I'm supposed to be there, doing for him as well.

I'm not joking when I say this, Sunday just broke my heart. All I wanted to do, was crawl back into bed. To be there for the man, that is always there for me. Talk about hard to do. How do you walk away from someone, that loves you that much? That does so much for you. And gives up so much, to just be with you. It was so hard! But of all the things that I've learned, in relationships, sometimes you just have to do things for you.

The look in his eyes, on Sunday morning, made me want to crawl back into bed. To cuddle with him. Right up until he had to go to work. There is nothing like feeling his arms, wrapped rightly around me. Knowing that he loves me so incredibly much. I wanted nothing more, than to crawl back into bed, get into my little "nook," and fall asleep to the beat of his heart.

But like I said, I've been in relationships were I've completely lost myself. Let the other person's life totally dictate mine. And it's tough. It's hard to not do that again. But it's the wrong way to go. So I held my ground. Put on my jacket, and battled the rain. I endured a morning of traveling. And guess what? It wasn't that bad.

I had an amazing time with my friends. We celebrate my Goddaughter. We caught up on each others' lives. We laughed. I enjoyed delish Mexican food again. Oh, how I've missed it! And when all that was done, smiles were permanently glued to our faces, and my heart overflowed with love...we headed to the park. To see my friends perform. It was an amazing concert!

As hard as it is, to be in this relationship, I wouldn't trade anything in the world for it. It's so hard, to be away from all of my family and friends. I miss them so terribly bad! And it's incredibly tough, to be away from everyone and everything, that I love so much. The culture, climate, food, shopping,and life in general. But I LOVE D. And I'm OK with being away from all of this. Just as long as I get to visit from time to time.

And I know, that these little trips are good for D and I as well. It's good that we spend a little time away from one another. It's good that our lives involve other people. And other things. That we have interests away from each other. Yes, it's good for us.

So I'm going to make the best of my week. I'm going indulge in all the yummy food, I'm going to love my Goddaughters even more, I'm going fix my home, visit my family, and enjoy life in the desert. Because sometimes, you just have to do that!

And next week, when I get to see D, I'm going to be over the moon! I'm going to enjoy our homecoming. And all that I've missed. I'm going to hug him a little harder. I'm going to enjoy the smell of his cologne. And the feel of his arms. Yes, I'm going to do all of that, and so much more!

Relationships are not easy. They require a lot of "push and pull," to make them successful. I'm so happy that I'm on this journey with D. A man that truly understands all of this. That loves me. And is willing to sacrifice a little, so that I can be happy too. Yes, this is a very good relationship. And D is an amazing man! I'm so lucky and blessed.

XOXO

Hopeful



Today Miss ♥D has a doctor's appointment. We've learned to hold our breath, when it comes to these appointments. Especially lately. It's tough to think about anything else going wrong. I go into these things, trying to be as supportive and strong, as I possibly can. Being her rock. Inside, I feel completely sick. Out of control.

This is the only thing that I can't control, in life. I can't pay someone, so that Miss ♥D is feeling better. You can't buy good health. As much as I'd like to. You just can't. I've learned that the hard way. That's a tough pill to swallow.

Early this morning, I got a kiss from Miss ♥D. She had to work. 2 hours away. It made for an early morning for her. But even with that, I try to make it easier on her. Knowing that she had a doctor's appointment, and that we're leaving for NY later, I got a car service to drive her. With that sweet kiss, I began to silently pray.

Any other day, I would have gone back to sleep. My work day, starting hours later. But I couldn't sleep. I couldn't stop thinking about the woman I love. And what she must be going through. Knowing that at any moment, as she calls it, "The Big C" can get totally out of control. Things that she so neatly organizes, can blow up.

I sat there. With our dogs. Just thinking. I know that she's "The One" for me. I've always known this. From the day I first met her. I just can't imagine life without her. I really can't. Over the last 3 years, I've really learned to love. I need Miss ♥D, like one needs air or water, to live.

I try not to let my mind go there. But sometimes I wonder, what if... It's a horrible thing to imagine. It literally makes me sick to my stomach. I have to remind myself to stay hopeful. To remember that she's beaten it thus far. I've also learned to not count on certain things. That the fact that Miss ♥D's health doesn't get worse, well that's a damn good thing. Bad news, is when things get worse. It may sound odd to people when I say, I don't want her health to be worse off, just the same as last time. A bonus would be better. Complete health, that's a miracle. But if she's not worse, that's good too.

Today, I've tried to work. I've been thinking about all sorts of things. But mostly, that I want to be there, for the woman I love. I don't care about the rest. This work, it will get done. If not today, there's tomorrow. Traveling to NY, well, we'll get there, when we get there. I'm not worried about that. I'm only worried about Miss ♥D. My word for today is, HOPEFUL. D

Intimate Matters

I've put this particular conversation off for a while. Who wants to talk to their older sister about these matters? Not me. I rarely ever talked to my sister, about girls in general. As teens, she'd try and bribe me. It didn't work. Why would I talk to her? I needed to avoid all that embarrassment. At all costs!

As adults, we've gotten closer. We've been through a hell of a lot of shit together. Losing our Dad. Her relationships. Failed marriages. Children. My failed relationships. My career. Our lives. All of it. With all this crap, I've gotten more comfortable. Felt like I could talk about more stuff with her. Especially when we began working together. I really felt like she had my back.

When ♥D and I started dating, we did it quietly. Neither of us wanted extra pressure. From anyone. We already had a lot going against us. Our physical distance. She lived in SW. I lived in SE. We both had highly demanding jobs. We just wanted this to be quiet. To be our thing.

Soon, people could tell something was different. I was freakin' happy 24/7. It had absolutely nothing to do with my new job adventures. It was this new woman. I knew immediately that she had me. That this was it. We were meant for one another. I just needed a way to make things easier. To make them work for us. To figure out how to at least get us in the same city.

My sister came to me one day, and wanted to know what was up. I was playing dumb. I wasn't so sure if I wanted her to know. Completely out of character for me. She is the one person I share almost everything with. As she grilled me, and our cousin loved it, she knew something was up. My cousin finally gave me up. I think he was a little too happy to have something over me.

There was never anyone that was so happy. My sister was happy. She knew I had found someone, that really made me happy. Not someone that would be a "play thing." But a real partner for me. She was just happy. Even happy that we were choosing to keep this quiet. Later, we'd both agree, it has been the single best thing. The one thing that has allowed for Miss ♥D and I to have this relationship. This real relationship. That's so strong.

Time past. Miss ♥D and my family got close. My sister really liked her. Liked that she was a good and strong woman. A woman with dreams and goals of her own. But an "old school" type. You know, takes care of the home, cooks, cleans, puts family first, loves with everything she's got. My whole family was just happy.

And not much more was said. My family just opened their arms. Let her in. Welcomed and loved her. A few times, someone would bring something up. Of the intimate matter. Were we being safe? Was I making sure to "cover up?" The usual talk, when people think they need to protect you. But we could figure ways out of it. Of not having to completely answer. Let everything out. My cousin would joke with me. But it was all light. Nothing too deep, or serious.

Then came my sister. This week. My newlywed sister. Who wanted to know. Know everything. Do we do it? Are we using protection? Will we have kids before we get married? What's going on there? Dude, I was like a damn deer in the headlights. What the hell?



Miss ♥D and I rarely talk to people about this. But I'm sure people wonder. Hell, I'll admit it here. I've dating some women...let's just say...some that I'd never take home to meet my momma or grandma. Let alone my sister or nieces. You just don't do that. I was young. Stupid. Had the world by the damn tail. Thought I knew it all. But what those models, bunnies, and other women didn't have...was everything I was looking for in a woman. Everything that Miss ♥D is, and has.

The answer I gave my sister was no. We don't. Miss ♥D has certain morals, values, and beliefs. I love her more than life itself. And I respect these things. I'd be lying if I said that the thought hasn't crossed my mind. A few billion times. Hell, I'm still a red blooded American man. Sometimes, the damn wrong head is doing the thinking. How can it not? She's a beautiful, sensual woman. But I respect my girlfriend and her beliefs.

The funny thing is, this was probably one of our very first conversations. I don't even know how it came about. But we met, when Miss ♥D was performing in the City of Sin. She was in a Burlesque group. And man, did she look amazing! I paid a guy, to make sure that I'd get a chance to meet her.

Yes, 2 incredibly shy kids. You're probably wondering who made the first move. Well, to tell the truth. Neither of us. I paid a guy to meet Miss ♥D. I met her. So incredibly shy. At the time she was dating someone. And was completely different off stage. Onstage, she was confident. Almost demanding your attention. She had a very sensual way of singing. A fun energy about her, when she danced.

But when we talked, she was quiet. Shy. I recognized that. I'm the same way. She blushed when we shook hands. And was not at all comfortable, when her group took a picture with my buddies and I. But she was sweet. Genuine. Real. Super friendly. Big heart. You could tell that right away. Just the way she was so kind. Even to her bodyguard. Super sweet. Offering him a drink, or a snack. A chance to relax before the next show. And a party later.

I knew that I had met my match, when I met Miss ♥D. There was just something about her. I hoped that I'd get a chance. I knew that she'd love with all her heart. Fill me with that love. I could just imagine what life with her would be like. Full of passion and chemistry. A bit of mystery. Because there was just something in her eye, a sparkle. I just knew that I wanted a chance. And I got that chance. Months later. We were both single. And I took the chance.

I had the knowledge, that this incredible woman was a virgin. And would remain so, until she was married. I knew that. And I more than accepted it. I welcomed it. I respected it. Because Miss ♥D is too special, to just write off.

Was I a sexual being before? Am I a red blooded American man? Of course I was. Did I think this would be tough? Yes. I knew it would be. But I don't think, that I really thought it through. Thought how would I handle it? The cuddling time, that she so dearly enjoys. The make out sessions, that remind you of being a teenager. And then realizing, it has to stop. Sharing a bed with someone, that you just want to devour, and must hold back. The things that flash through your mind. The things you want to do, enjoy, and feel with the woman that you love the most. But I know that I have to wait. Keep all this under control. Control my feelings and desires. My wants. The things that my body wants most.

It's tough as hell. But I remind myself, Miss ♥D is worth it. And worth so much more. She is. God knows, she is! I find myself wanting her more and more each day. And I remind myself, that's only natural. It's tough. Tough as hell. But you do what you have to do, for love.

My sister literally fell out of her chair, during our conversation this week. I busted out laughing. Who would have thought? She immediately called Miss ♥D. That look that crossed her face, told it all. Then I got that hug and "I'm proud of you little brother." It felt good. I know I'm doing the right thing here.

I know, this has made Miss ♥D's and I relationship stronger. I don't care what people think, or say. Because this is our relationship. We do what's best for the 2 of us. Not what other people think is best. That makes me feel good. I've got Miss ♥D's back, and she's got mine. Is there anything else that we need?

Believe me, I do miss that. I miss the sex. I crave that, with the woman I love. To be that intimate. That close to her. To hear her call my name...just like that. To hold me, as ecstasy takes over. Like I'm the only thing that can keep her alive. To know, that I'm the one that makes her feel just that way. To feel her body crave and yearn for my body, the way it just happens. At just the right time. To feel us connected as one. Sex is different when you're in love. When you are older. And appreciate it. The intimate matters of it. Not just the physicality.

For now, I'll take all the making out, cuddling, and sleeping so close, that I swear you couldn't fit a piece of paper between us. Because it's what the love of my life needs. I'll give her anything and everything that she needs. Even if it means some ice cold showers, from time to time, for me.

But honestly, watching her battle the Big C, like she does, how can I not sacrifice a little bit? She literally fights for her life. How can I be pissed about something like this? To me, it's all worth it. One day, we'll be there. OK, so we might not be reachable for about 6 months. ;-) But you'll know why. It just might push me into early retirement. Because I won't be able to focus on anything else. But the time will come. When our bodies finally give in to all our desires. When we cling to each other for life. Like our entire existence depends on one another. When we become one body, soul, and spirit. And it will be amazing for both of us. D

Our Kids.

We're getting ready. Right now. To head off, later today. It's technically Thursday. But ♥D and I still haven't made it to bed. We're taveling again, for work this time. ♥D's packing bags. I'm trying to get my crap together. And our pets are pissed off at us. They pretty much look like this.



Acting like spoiled children. Daring us to leave again. I'm getting the feeling, that we're gone too much. We just got back from our vacation. Now we're leaving again. They know it. They sense it. And they're daring us to leave them again. Like they've got something planned.

I have to work this weekend. But they don't care. I don't blame them. I think, we might have to make some time for them. Our biggest baby, one of our dogs, might be traveling with us. Since he won't leave Miss ♥D's side. Ya, I think they miss us. You know, they're our kids. D

Stand By Your Man



I'm almost positive, when I say this, we're both happy to see D's "Professional Year," come to an end. Well, pretty much, come to an end. It's been a tough year. In so many ways! He's taken it personally. Like if all the failures, were directly his fault. I've told him over and over, it's a team effort. And when something breaks down, or fails, the entire team needs to take responsibility.

With that said, I'm very proud of D. And all that he's accomplished. Like I said, it was a tough year. But he's had some outstanding days. Days that he should be very proud of. Because not many people, ever get the opportunity, to accomplish those same things.

As the traveling slows, and the "other" work begins, I'm pretty sure, we're both happy. Yes, we both enjoy D's job. And the traveling. But by this time of year, we're just happy to go home, get in our pjs, and crawl into bed. Yes, it's been an amazing year! But we're looking forward to some downtime. Through it all, I'll be right here, next to D. Standing proud. D, I'm so PROUD of you, and I LOVE YOU!

XOXO

♥D

July Questions Answered

We are finally sitting down to answer your questions. Yes folks, we got a bunch of them. So we decided that we would answer 20 questions at the end of every month. So keep them coming! We enjoyed reading them. And hope that you enjoy reading our answers. So let's start!

1. What are your real names?
We are trying to stay anonymous. So we can't say. But both names begin with D.

2. What do you do for a living?
We cannot be completely honest here either. But D owns his own company. ♥D is an intern at a few hospitals and government health agencies.

3. How long have you dated?
We began dating in April 2008.

4. How did you meet?
During the 2007 Holiday Season, I was performing in Las Vegas. I am a musician that frequently would perform various shows during the holiday season. D and his buddies were in Las Vegas on vacation. And they happened to stop by one of my shows. We got to meet after the show. My boss knew D and he brought him backstage. But we didn't start talking until months later. D called one day to book my band for a gig. We started talking regularly. And we met in person again in April 2008 and never looked back!

5. Why is your blog orange and pink?
We didn't want to make the blog too girly, or too manly. So we settled on black. Then used 2 of our favorite colors for the blog. Orange for D and pink for ♥D.

6. How often do you travel?
Weekly, no joke! ♥D often travels multiple times during the week for work. But as a couple, we travel at the end of the week for my work.

7. What is up with ♥D's juice/7UP drink?
Hahaha...it is just something that I like to drink. I have no real answer why. I actually like the taste of juice, but I think it is too concentrated. So I like to dilute it. And I like the fizz of the 7UP. But you could also use sparkling water. Just make sure it is mixed in a 1:1 ratio.

8. Why do you call your animals "fur babies?"
My dogs and cats have always been spoiled. But when ♥D moved in with me, she took spoiling to a whole other level. They really did become her babies.

9. What is D's specialty to cook?
I like to grill steaks. It is an art. With some rice and vegetables it is a good meal.

10. How old are you?
♥D is 26. And D is 34.

11. Does ♥D have any packing secrets?
I am going to assume you mean packing for a trip? Not really. I roll my clothes instead of fold them. It helps to keep the wrinkles out. If I am packing a silky blouse or something that wrinkles easily, I pack it in a Ziploc bag. Yes, you read right. It keeps it from wrinkling. And I try to pack things that can easily be mixed and matched. Staying in the same color family or palette allows you to pack less clothes, but have many outfits. Add a few fun accessories in bight colors, like a pair of earrings, a purse, or a pair of shoes. As far as toiletries, I try to keep it easy. Pack your essentials. I always save the sample size fragrances for travel. I also pack makeup for a neutral face, but add in a bright lipstick, black eyeshadow, and a blush with a little more color than normal.

12. What kinds of workouts do you do?
♥D tends to run 3-5 miles a day. Every day. She also works with a trainer 5 days a week. They do weight training M-W-F. On T-Th ♥D practices yoga. Sat-Sun she does pilates. I on the other hand, am a bit lazier. I have a trainer and try to workout 4 days a week. We do a mix of weight training and cardio. I workout less often, but I go through "Captain Death Wish" workouts. It all evens out.

13. Do you come from large families?
♥D is the youngest of 9 kids. I am a middle kid of a family of 4. But we are both from families that have had divorce and remarriages. We are not strangers to step-family and all that.

14. Who's idea was the blog? And why did you start it?
D wanted a place to talk about our relationship. Not many people know about our relationship. D liked my personal blog and thought we could start a blog together. After much thought, we settled on an anonymous blog. A place for the people in our lives to read about our daily life. We could share stories and adventures. For us, it is just a way of sharing the story of our life together.

15. What is ♥D's go to outfit?
A pair of jeans, some kind of fun and flirty top, a jacket of some sort, either ballet flats or high heels, and some piece of fun jewelry. I am pretty eclectic when it comes to my style. But this is the type of outfit that I throw on to do a lot of different things.

16. How many times a week do you eat at home?
Before ♥D, I never ate at home. I might cook 2X's a month. I ate a lot of take-out. But ♥D likes to cook and bake. She is always in the kitchen. I would say we eat in more than we eat out. Very easily. In a week, we might eat 2-3 meals out at a restaurant or in terms of take-out. But in general, we eat at home. Even when we are on the road, ♥D cooks for us.

17. What is ♥D's favorite store to shop at?
In general, I like Target. There is a variety of good quality items there. The prices are not really that much different from Wal-Mart, but the quality is a lot better. And honestly, it is a lot cleaner at Target. With friendlier service.

18. Do you 2 want kids?
We do. But in the future. We are enjoying our life the way it is now. Just spending time together and learning more about each other. Our lives are pretty chaotic right now. We would just like for life to calm down a bit before we add kids to the mix.

19. Does ♥D go to school?
Yes, I am still in college. And I am an intern. Life is just a little crazy right now. But it is the good kind of crazy.

20. Do you spend lots of time with family and friends?
We tend to eat dinner with D's family at least once a week. We also spend a lot of time with his nieces. They are close to him and I. We generally spend more time with our friends on the weekend. Most of my close friends are back home. Along with my family. But occasionally, my close friends fly in to visit on the weekend. And both D and I's best friends live nearby. So we probably have dinner once a week, maybe meet up for a couple of lunches, or just hangout together.

That's it for this month! We hope you enjoyed learning a little more about the 2 of us. Keep the questions coming. Until next month!

XOXO

♥D and D

Halo

I am a musician...something that I am proud of...but something that plagues me from time to time. Then there are the days when being a musician is such a blessing...when I can bring out emotions in people, am able to create some "magic," or appreciate a song for all of it's wonder and glory.

The first time I heard the song Halo, I immediately thought of D. I have had such a rough couple of years...and he came into my life at just the right time. I know everything happens for a reason. And every single person who crosses our paths, they have a purpose. But I am truly blessed with D. Someone who I can share everything with, without having to worry about being judged.

I am going to post the lyrics and a link to the video. Maybe you will appreciate the meaning of this song as much as I do. Or maybe I can inspire you to search for a song that completely tells the story of the one you love.

XOXO

♥D





♥Halo



Songwriters: Bogart, Evan Kidd; Knowles, Beyonce Gisselle; Tedder, Ryan Benjamin










Remember those walls I built



Well, baby they're tumbling down



And they didn't even put up a fight



They didn't even make up a sound






I found a way to let you in



But I never really had a doubt



Standing in the light of your halo



I got my angel now






It's like I've been awakened



Every rule I had you breakin'



It's the risk that I'm takin'



I ain't never gonna shut you out






Everywhere I'm looking now



I'm surrounded by your embrace



Baby I can see your halo



You know you're my saving grace






You're everything I need and more



It's written all over your face



Baby I can feel your halo



Pray it won't fade away






I can feel your halo halo halo



I can see your halo halo halo



I can feel your halo halo halo



I can see your halo halo halo






Hit me like a ray of sun



Burning through my darkest night



You're the only one that I want



Think I'm addicted to your light






I swore I'd never fall again



But this don't even feel like falling



Gravity can't forget



To pull me back to the ground again






Feels like I've been awakened



Every rule I had you breakin'



The risk that I'm takin'



I'm never gonna shut you out






Everywhere I'm looking now



I'm surrounded by your embrace



Baby I can see your halo



You know you're my saving grace






You're everything I need and more



It's written all over your face



Baby I can feel your halo



Pray it won't fade away






I can feel your halo halo halo



I can see your halo halo halo



I can feel your halo halo halo



I can see your halo halo halo






I can feel your halo halo halo



I can see your halo halo halo



I can feel your halo halo halo



I can see your halo halo halo



Halo, halo






Everywhere I'm looking now



I'm surrounded by your embrace



Baby I can see your halo



You know you're my saving grace






You're everything I need and more



It's written all over your face



Baby I can feel your halo



Pray it won't fade away






I can feel your halo halo halo



I can see your halo halo halo



I can feel your halo halo halo



I can see your halo halo halo






I can feel your halo halo halo



I can see your halo halo halo



I can feel your halo halo halo



I can see your halo halo halo

♥D...I♥U2...D

Let it be said, I love ♥D. She does the cutest things at the most unexpected times. I get random texts throughout the day with codes. Things we have come up with to say, "I'm thinking of you," "I love you," and so on. What? Did you expect me to actually put them on here? I think not. What if one of the guys happens to read this? Then the code is all out the window. The hard work would all be down the drain.

My point, we have these things carefully thought out. I will be the first to tell you, I like to leave things around for ♥D to find. A note carefully placed in a drawer or one of her files, I send a good amount of texts, even a fair amount of emails. Hide a new gift where I know she will find it. Heck, on a good day, I can even remember to have flowers and/or lunch sent to her. She likes it, she is happy about it. Results in me, being happy as well.

Today, I am sitting in a meeting. Didn't even think about the whole phone thing. I get a message. But the phone was on the table. One of the guys picks it up and reads it. I♥U...♥D.

Babe I love you. I really do. But what happened to our code? All of a sudden, topic went to me. Who ♥s me? Do I ♥ them? Who is ♥D? What does ♥ mean?

Well, ♥D for those few people who were in the meeting that didn't know. They know now. But it's all cool. I♥U2...D

I'll Be the First

To write a post. ♥D pretty much agreed to do this with me. I have been talking to her about doing something a little more "public" for a while now. You see, I am in the "public eye." To protect ♥D, we keep our relationship on the DL. But I always feel bad about that. Bad that I cannot have her by my side for work things. Bad that I cannot take her out to a nice dinner. Instead we order in a lot. Usually when it is my night to cook. We don't get to do a lot of the "typical" couple things. I just want to show her how proud I am of our relationship.

But ♥D is amazing about it. She is never upset about it. In fact, she understands. Most of the secrecy is to keep her protected from the public. Some of it, is to well, help me too. But we are working through it. Key members of my inner circle know. A few friends of hers know. That's it.

I first met ♥D when she was performing in Vegas in Dec '07. It was a trip to the City of Sin with my buddies. Finally some time off. We drank, gambled, and decided to see a show. There she was in all her glory. Singing it like no one else. All smiles, all legs, and all curves. I couldn't believe it! No. I. Could. Not. Fellas, I had to pick my jaw off the ground. Her group started to perform to the song Dangerous. I didn't know that we happened to be at the "Lucky" table that night. Man, it was good. I noticed some of my buddies checking her out. But there was something in that look of hers. Before I knew it, I was on stage and she was singing Danger. Lyrics are almost too perfect.

After the show, one of my buddies talked to the owner, AKA ♥D's boss. He was pretty pumped that we were there. He more than welcomed us back stage to meet the lovely ♥D. For as courageous and outgoing as she is onstage, she is pretty quiet and somewhat shy in person. But we hit it off. Talked for a long while. Unfortunately, I failed to get her number. I was just so taken aback by her. My buddies and I headed off on vacation, but ♥D never left my mind.

Time went by and all I could think about was ♥D. I finally grew a pair and called her boss. I knew that she played in a band. I knew the band was good, fun, and full of energy. I got the contact info and gave them a call. It was all lined up. A gig at my joint in the spring. I wanted to request a few songs. The band contact gave me ♥D's number and told me I would have to talk to her about it. Not going to lie here. I was nervous as hell. But I called her.

♥D did not believe it was me. Her exact words "Shut the hell up. Why would ____ call me?" She hung up. Did I dream up Vegas? I don't think so. I called again. This time one of her friends answer. Shut. The. Hell. Up. It. Is. J. A good friend of mine. After talking with him, he agreed to talk to ♥D. She finally agreed to talk to me. We picked right up where we had left off in Vegas. Roughly for 2 months we talked a few times a week.

The band finally came. It was April. I waited and waited for the date to come. Early that morning I fussed with clothes, couldn't get my hair right, and was jumping out of my skin. I felt like a girl. I was 4 hours early to the airport. It was like a movie when she walked out. Glorious. She was literally glowing.

From that point on, I knew I could never let her go. The band was staying at my place. But that 1st night I took ♥D out to dinner. Since then it has been a roller coaster ride. One that I am glad I got on. She puts up with me, my job, and my horrid schedule. I am one lucky guy. I learned that you will never know when your life is going to change. That trip to Vegas with my buddies forever changed my life for the better. D

Welcome

Welcome to our blog...D Squared Hearts!

We are a couple...the most unlikely pair actually...that met during the most unlikely circumstances. But what can we say? We are not at all "typical people" therefore, we are NOT a "typical couple" either. :O)

Because of our situation...this is our outlet to share "Our Story" and our relationship. Both of us will be blogging from time to time. ♥D is the female half...D is the male half of this equation. Between D came up with the name of our Blog.

We have unusual jobs, spend lots of time on the road, and are pretty normal people. But even the 2 of us like to step out of the spotlight from time to time to just be "regular folk." Hope you will enjoy our stories along the way!

♥D and D
