The Idea

So focused was I

On the idea of falling in love

I didn't realize

I had my guy

All along

It appears your mom and Dad are poets as well. My wife's Chinese name is Mei Ha which means beautiful morning dew. I get teased for my last name Lamoureux means "the lover" I like your sense of humor the joke sorta comment cracked me up.

Oh, that's such a pretty meaning! Caleah means flower, and my middle name Sara means princess, so I just combine it together. :) Haha, I think Lamoureux is a nice name! A little difficult to spell but still extremely nice. :D Glad I could make you laugh. ;)

I hope he is a nice guy and treats you like a princess.

Awww, that's so sweet of you! Strange you say treat me like a princess, my whole name means flower princess. :D And he better treat me well or I'll have to use my bat. Let's hope it doesn't come to that! (Haha, joke! Sort of...)

" Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find that what you're looking for has been here the whole time."... funny how I don't exactly care for Swift's music... yet I know the lyrics *looks around*. I think when you set yourself for these ideas, you set yourself up for disappointment. The perfect person for you probably is nothing like you would envision him... best be open to the possibilities :)

I disagree I thought long and hard about what was important to me in a relationship and when I met Mary There was no doubt in my mind. Twenty years later I am happier than ever.

Hahaha! OOh I knew you liked Swift somewhere! ;) (secret's safe with me!) Yep, I definitely learned that. Usually when it's the most unexpected or when you give up, it happens. Lot's of patience and commitment has to go in it, but one day I know it'll hit me. :D
