I guess it's time to share this post due to the last post: I want to remember this moment for the rest of my life.

It is July 29, 2011 at 1:50pm and I have written the following post not knowing when I will actually hit the "Publish Post" button. So I have no idea what day it will actually be posted or if it will be posted. But here's what I was thinking on July 29th:

How is that I want to both run to the highest tower and scream out the joy that I am feeling AND want to savor the moment from Day 45 for myself a little bit longer?

On Day 45, I was snuggled up with Dulce de TubaDad watching Old School (You're my boy, Blue!) and TubaDad says, "I know what you're thinking." I look at him and respond with "What am I thinking?" To which he says, "You're thinking about what I was going to tell you."

Well, no. I wasn't thinking that. See, on Day 43 on the Oompa Tuba cult phone call with TubaDad, he tells me that he is going to tell me something on Friday. I set my alarm on my iPod to go off to remind me to ask him just in case he hasn't told me. I wasn't sure what he was going to say. I thought it would be something thoughtful and kind like he always says but I didn't know what and I didn't want to assume what he was going to say. When the alarm went off, I didn't ask him to tell me because at that moment I felt like he would tell me when he was ready.

Do you want to know what he told me on Day 45?

He said, "I'm in love with you."

And I sat there for a moment looking at him with a smile on my face and I finally say, "I know." And then he laughed at me.

I know because I feel it. And, it's a feeling like no other feeling that I have ever felt.

And I said back, "And you know, too. That I'm in love with you."
