The purpose of all of this

The main reason I wanted to start this blog was to fill you in and keep you up on everything going on in my life right now. So let's get started! Wow, that's gonna be harder than I thought...Where do I begin? Most of you know that I am pregnant. For those few who did not, yes, you read that right, pregnant. :) No, I did not run off and get married without telling you, i am single. Well seeing someone, just not married. I would claim immaculate conception, but it's been taken, and I don't think anyone would fall for that one again. So, I know you are wondering who the lucky man is. :)

His name is Damien, and actually, I feel like the lucky one. He is a great man with many wonderful qualities! We met at the end of January, by chance, and both noticed sparks right away. He asked for my phone number, and I gave it to him. I'm sure that doesn't sound like a big deal, but for me, it was huge. I have NEVER given my real phone number to a complete stranger, but I am very glad I made an exception that time! That night, he left me a really cute message, we texted the next day, he called me that night, and we have enjoyed getting to know each other ever since. He has lived in Utah for the past five years, is originally from the Bronx, NY, and spent the time in between living in Las Vegas. He has an appreciation for the great outdoors, especially when it's cold. He loves to be in the mountains snowboarding. Damien works a civilian job supplying an auto shop on Fort Douglas in Salt Lake City and is in ammo in the Army Reserves. He spent a year in Iraq and is scheduled for another tour in 2010. The military has suited him well, as this man was made for it! But don't let that fool you. Even though he has been trained in the art of killing, he is kind and considerate, understanding and patient. He has goals, ambition, morals and standards. He is one of the hardest workers I have ever known. He has an amazing love for his family, and it has been fun for me to watch that creep over a little bit into mine as he has been able to meet almost everyone. He has a great sense of humor--we laugh and have a good time with everything we do. He also has a bit of an adventurous spirit. As if that wasn't enough, he cooks, he cleans, and rubs my back and feet when they are sore. I mean really rubs them good. Sometimes I stop and wonder what I did to find such an amazing man, then I smile and don't question it and am just thankful I get to go through this with him. I love him dearly and know he will be a great father! He is 35 and has no children, so this is a first for both of us. I know for a lot of you, the marriage question comes to mind. You may not agree with or understand my choice to remain single, but for me, I am happy with the way things are. I am pregnant. I am with the baby's father. We are happy, and in this together, with or without a contract saying so. I hope that the love and support you have always shown to me continues to be unconditional and will grow to include the two new additions to my family.
