An Introduction, a Beautiful Distraction, and a Heck of A Lot of Pictures...

Yesterday was pretty close to a perfect day. Remember how I said I had an introduction for you all? Well here it is. A met a guy... I know I know. I may have said some pretty harsh things about men on my blog in the past, but that's because I have never met someone like Spencer. Even with my most serious, long term (3 years) relationships I have never been treated the way that Spencer treats me. He even opens the door for me when I'm driving. He is so nice, funny, smart, caring, and let's be honest... he's not bad to look at either. He just came out of the blue for me at probably one of the worst moments in my life. But through this hell he has been there every step of the way. Since the moment I got the call from my Mom saying that Jason was missing, until now when I still sit in unknowing. I feel bad that he has to get to know me under these circumstances, but at the same time I think that people can learn a lot from tragedy. Anyway I am completely smitten and he has been amazing for me! I am happy. That seems weird to say with everything that has been going on around me, but Spencer makes me happy. We spent the morning with my favorite person in the world, Cortney! This little girl melts my heart! She is adorable (yes her hair is crazy but it's about time that she even has hair) and so well behaved!!! I love hearing her say my name! We took her down to the Gateway and played in the water (I won't talk about how Spencer accidentally got Cortney smashed by water in the face... haha) and played at Barnes and Noble (isn't that everyone's favorite place to play?) and went shopping (the girl is addicted to Forever 21... AWESOME) took pictures of Cort doing pull ups just for Chris, and then to the Planetarium. It was so much fun and a gorgeous day! Plus Cortney loves Spencer! Afterwards we went to the park with Kim and Chris and had more fun. I love spending time outside, especially when it's with my family. I feel as though I have grown closer to my family throughout this awful experience. I have realized how much I do love my family and there is truly nothing that I wouldn't do for any one of them. I would never wish this sadness and uncertain on anyone, but it has been beneficial for the relationship with my family that's for sure. I love my family so much! And that includes Jason. I miss him and I wish we could get even a little news, good or bad. Last night I was over at my Uncle Bill's house and we were talking and my 8 year old cousin Logan asked if maybe it was possible that Jason dropped his phone in a puddle and that's why it hadn't been working. That melted my heart! I will that was what happened. And I wish that I still thought of things as simple as all of that. Jason, I hope that you dropped your phone in a puddle and that you are safe and sound! I love you! Please come home!
