 I'm sitting here in deep grief and shame , to have to admit that I can't meet my dogs needs any longer .. And today we have to rehome them to others who can take better care for them rather than us. Cliff was the first to show up when he followed me home around 2015 and when he strolled into our house, I asked my son Hazen if he wanted a dog and that was that. Lucky recently came to us in July from the same Shelter that we're taking him back to, and needs more attention, or just kept as an outside dog - because of his hard to train bathroom habits. We can't afford the effort it takes to add posts and fencing for them to be more outside and it pains me that we can't keep him either. Their both good dogs for the most part, with the exception of Cliffs annoying barking habits and allergy scratching he picked up about four or five years ago. And now both of them have to go.. Years ago.. a medium told me that Cliff would be a big part of my life which took me by surpri

I'm at work on the phone with Rachel at my break, and she tells me that I'm not feeling well.. and I'm probably feeling sick enough to notify my boss that I have to go home for the day. At first I'm like.. I don't feel sick.. and I finally get the drift that she wants me to call off for the rest of the day.   We pull into the marriage license bureau and jaywalk across the street.. Getting married on 4/20 is actually easier than you'd think! I'll write more tomorrow..

 Today started with Rachel ending her shift at work and she gets home to FT (facetime) with me on Snapchat. After fucking around for an hour or so, we fall asleep together via FTiming. The really cool thing about FT is that you can be with someone at all times of the day. You see, like right now at this very moment I'm writing this blog at around 8:30 am. And I'm looking right at Rachel as she is at her house asleep! I gotta admit that live video feed is pretty fucking cool, especially when you can mute yourself as to not blast the other person with loud ass keyboard clicks and good morning coffee farts. Awwwwe, how sweet right!? Seems like today's technology is built for us old school ADHD types who never even got diagnosed with that shit. And our cure back then was to just run it out of our system by hitting the sack in a sprint. So with today's tech we can multi-function in total ease, like writing a blog while spending precious time with those you love! Pretty cool

 We were supposed to get our tattoos together, but unforseen forces intervened and made it a tad more interesting...   This thing eventually opens up with Rachel challenging me by saying.. "we will see, and that she was gonna get the tatt on her own and bet me that she'd do it today" - full knowing that I wasn't going to... I knew that losing $500 bucks would kinda suck for both of us, so I had to keep playing. And being the sport that I am, I challenged her to $500 that she'd lose. So we're off to the races.. As soon as I confirmed the text about the bet, I flipped a bitch on the road and headed home for some cash. Heading home, I start thinking that if I get mines first and she doesn't get hers.. than I'd look like a dumbass! But then I thought.. I'd still be first ! Pulling in to the tatt place I stuff my face with some fries and coffee I got on the way and head inside. Danny is getting a tatt on his forehead and says.. "thought you had an

  Just before lunch chillin at my brides crib, the doorbell rings and I didn't even hear it. The Fedex guy shows up and says I've got a package for you! She comes into the bedroom excited as hell.. And she can't wait to show me her gift. I tell her to wait for Valentines day.. but she can't.. I ask if it's a book and she says mind your business! I chuckle and think it's a book by the shape of the box. So she opens the package hands it to me and as I reach into the box.. voila it's a book! But not just any book, it's a book about us! My fiancee made me a book! It's got everything.. even all the sexy stuff! This book is sooooo R.A.D.! Now why did I spell R.A.D the like this? Well lemme tell ya..! One day Rachel said that RAD means Rachel And Dean, and it just stuck with me ever since.. She is so amazing in so many ways.. She's got brains AND brawn! And especially a humor that just goes on for days.. And the way she laughs.. oh my god I'm soooo

One day Rachel and I were sitting around the office and I mentioned that I wouldn't be able to afford a suitable ring to give her. And her reply was that I could've given her a piece of string and proposed and she would still have said yes. And even after knowing - that she'd pretty much say yes anyway.. I was still nervous because I didn't know if she was just playing around or actually serious. I mean, I've got insecurities myself and at my age they can stack up pretty high. So today I got the ring and it wasn't my first choice.. When I showed up early to the jewelry store, I immediately sought out the one's that resembled some of the examples that Rachel showed me before. So I picked out something in a price range that I could afford but would need to finance it. Unfortunately I didn't qualify for the finance and was turned down. But determined as I am, I asked her what options did I have. She mentioned a lay away type deal, but I didn't want to w

Her voice reminds me of a warm summer day with a cool breeze that takes your breath away.   I can get real mushy when I talk about her and I've never been that way with anyone else - EVER! I'm so blessed to have her by my side through everything, because the way that she communicates with me is so right to the point and I've never been able to express myself this way before. Being raised in an Asian family, I wasn't able to say certain things because then I'd be disrespecting everyone by expressing how I feel. So in some ways my way of communicating was somewhat stifled by a certain upbringing. But with Rachel, she makes me understand that open communication about everything is key to healthy relationships along with trust. Don't get me wrong, I've been in relationships before that have tested tempers and torn down ego's. But now.. and with her.. I'm able to tear down old barriers that have kept me from growing in the past. I'm so thankful for he
