October Is Here

Well, it's October. This month has always been special to me because I love the holidays coming up starting with Halloween and all the way through New Year's Day. This year, the month is even more special to me. My wonderful Dotty will have been in my life for one year this October 30th. During that year, some things have not changed at all and some things have definitely changed.

What hasn't changed? I continue to have a crush on this girl. Everyday, I learn or discover something new about her that makes me look at her and say "Wow!". I get that familiar tingly feeling of new interest all over again. I have to remind myself sometimes that she's already my girlfriend. LOL

The best change is that I've fallen completely in love with the person she is. Her thoughts, ideas, interests, etc. are so important to me. I'm even beginning to share some of these as the time goes by. I've found a new love for Law and Order watching it through her eyes. I've found a new importance for a new religion through knowing her. I haven't abandoned my own likes in this process. I've just added to them.

I also know that she returns this because she has become interested in new things through knowing me. This past weekend she sang karaoke by herself for the first time. She did so well at it also. It was so special to hear her serenade me for a change. I think I finally know what it was she must have felt the first time I sang to her.

I love you, Angel. Thank you for adding so much to my life and for giving yet one more reason to love October. Well, it's October.
