Dan and Shelley

So we got back into a “regular” schedule of our getting together every two weeks.  Friday I cut out of work a few minutes early and headed straight to my Shelley.  I drove as fast as I could and truly could not wait to be back in her arms.  I got there a bit earlier than normal, mostly because I left early.  We had decided to keep the children the whole weekend.  Nicky was fast asleep by the time I got there but Shannon was still awake.  After we put her to bed, we had some dinner and a couple of beers.  We then spent the rest of the night inseparable from each other.

Saturday the church that Shelley goes to had a children bowling event in the afternoon.  We decided to leave in the late morning and spend a few hours walking through a local park, skipping stones on the creek, and just having fun.  After becoming rather exhausted, we left for bowling.  Honestly it was a blast bowling as well.  It was wonderful to be able to bowl with Nicky and to watch Shannon.  I think that we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  After bowling, we headed home.  Nicky took little time to fall asleep and Shannon wasn’t all that far behind.  Shelley and I “watched” Harry Potter (I fell asleep and missed most of it) until rather late then headed to bed.  I was so tired I know I fell straight asleep.

Sunday morning we woke up early and went to church.  The children had their Sunday School and Shelley and I had ours as well.  After the service we headed to Bob Evans for something to eat.  We had a little wait but it wasn’t bad.  We ate then headed home, still a bit worn out from the day before.  Shannon went to play outside for a while before heading with Nicky to their grandmother’s house for a little while.  When they got home, Shannon went back outside and Shelley and I had a little dinner.  As usual, we weren’t all that hungry on Sunday afternoon.  After saying our goodbyes….I unfortunately had to leave.  As is custom, leaving was very hard to say the least.  On the drive back to Ohio, I was sad, quite sad actually.  I just missed my Shelley so very much.  After I got home we had our usual phone call then I headed to bed.

Shelley, I will never be able to tell you this enough, I love you.  I know that those simple words don’t even come close to saying what I feel, but I haven’t a better way to say it.  I love being yours, I love being with you, I love everything about you.  Being with you is the highest of honors.  I love you Shelley, I truly do, and nothing will ever change that.
