Goodbye Summer...Hello Fall

With the sunset tonight came the end of the 'Great Summer of 08'. School starts tomorrow and even though fall doesn't officially start for another month the summer feels like it is over to me. It was the best summer that I can remember. Three very special people, that I care a lot about, shared this summer with me. Thanks to them I feel that I grew on a personal level and was able to accomplish some things that I always wanted to do. One of those three allowed me to rekindle my love of sports and showed me that I have a lot of knowledge that needs to be shared with those that will listen. He also showed me that is OK to play and have fun. Another one of the three reminded me that there is so much hope and beauty in the world when viewed through the innocent eyes of youth. She also touched my heart with the way she would run up to me and wrap her arms around me every time I showed up. And the last of the three...well...where do I start. She showed me just how much I can accomplish when I have the love of a strong, independent woman in my corner. She also reminded me what it means to love and be loved unconditionally. It is rare in this world to find someone that you share so much in common with. Someone that knows your thoughts and can complete your sentences. We have shared so many great moments that I can't believe we haven't known each other our whole lives. I feel so very grateful and so thankful to have her in my life. Dreams really do come true...

I hope everyone out there had a great summer and is looking forward to the fall as much as I am.

TheGov, out

The First Lady

After 2 weeks of planning and a restless night praying things would go well TheGov popped the question. And to my delight she said yes. I am so incredibly happy! There is no way to describe the emotions I have but to the people out there that have found someone to truly share their life with I don't need to describe them - you already know. I feel like I have finally found someone that I can just be myself with and my life has grown so much because of that. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with this woman.

Have a great week everyone!
