On days that are disappointing Mr. New is right by my side fighting my battles along with me. I’m not sure I am used to it but I know that I love it.

Suddenly instead of texts that reference “me” it is now “us” and “we will”

Today was a good day but it had it’s bad moments. First off I found out I got a parking ticket at work! When I was driving to Fry Fest I got caught by one of those pesky red light cameras in Cedar Rapids. Though it was completely my fault for going too fast, I was still none too happy to get slapped with a 75 dollar fine! Quite a mood killer.

On top of it I raced home to apply for a grant for people starting hobbies and businesses in the Cedar Valley and found out right before cut-off that my idea was not one of the ones selected. I worked so hard on it and couldn’t believe it wasn’t one of the chosen winners. Bummer.

These could have completely ruined my day but Mr. New always finds a way to cheer me up. He completely sympathized with the ticket and then assured me that “we would figure out another grant for me” and that “we will find a way to make this happen”

It’s so nice to know I am not tackling the world’s problems all alone. I always feel like I have someone there to take things on with me and most of all just be there to listen. He’s pretty special this man of mine.

Not to mention we just hit the 6 month mark in our relationship. Six months ago that I happened to saunter into the Panther Lounge and have my entire life flipped upside the head.

Funny how life works. This was the note on my door this morning…

6 Months went so fast!
