This weekend was just absolutely magical. I
celebrated my 30th birthday, and what I thought was going to be a
tough one turned out to be the best one of my life! I took the day off work and
had a fun filled day. It started off with some yummy donuts and presents in a
fully decorated house courtesy of my mother and D. We enjoyed the morning together
before my mother and I got ready and spent the afternoon shopping. Lunch at Ted’s
Montana Grill was incredible and I indulged in a lot of my freebies! I got back
home around 4 where I got packed for a weekend at a cabin with D and his sister
and friends. It was this breathtaking cabin just outside of Woodland Park aptly
named ‘Bearadise’ as it was purely paradise. It has 4 private bedrooms, a hot
tub, air hockey table, tons of games and entertainment areas and the blissful atmosphere
that put us all at ease. We arrived at this beauty a few minutes ahead of D’s
sister and when we entered, it was decked out in decoration and some bottles of
wine to help ease the pain of turning 30 :) We toasted
with some wine to celebrate the start of what was sure to be a lovely weekend!
About 3 hours into our mini stay-cation, D took me downstairs to our room and
we basked in our newly found privacy. We shared this wonderful moment that
really made me feel like I was in the presence of true love. He told me to sit
tight and he would be right back. He was gone for a few minutes and returned
telling me to close my eyes. I did so, and opened them a minute later to him
kneeling before me with a mini hat box. He told me that he had one last gift
for me. He wanted me to know that this isn’t just some fleeting thing for him,
he was in it for the long haul. He loves me and wants a future with me. He told
me to open the box. Inside this beautiful box contained 2 baby pacifiers to
which he said, ‘I hope he or she enjoys them! I want a baby with you!’ And the
tears poured out! I scooped him up in my arms and cried tears of pure joy! Never
have I felt so loved and so happy in my life! It was truly the most amazing
gift!
So that was our sign, that was the start of our baby journey! The rest of
the weekend was spent enjoying each other and taking advantage of these baby
free moments for as long as we have them! I simply cannot wait! And if that’s
not enough of a sign, a friend of mine gave me a Kokopelli (God of Fertility)
bookmark on Sunday at my birthday dinner. She didn’t even know about my gift
from D. She just told me she saw it and something told her to get it for me! :) I am ready for this journey, it absolutely feels right!
