One Day in Bearadise

This weekend was just absolutely magical. I celebrated my 30^th 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!
