My life is very full and far from simple. I have four wonderful kids, but they live back in Des Moines with their mom. I drive back on weekends to visit them, and I am always greeted with plenty of hugs and kisses. Generally, my weekends are full of the little ones fighting for my time, and me spending every available minute I have trying to squeeze in as many memories as I can before it is time for me to go again. I get up on Monday mornings and leave while they are still sleeping. I kiss them goodbye and tell them how much I love them. It is much easier when they are sleeping. I have accidentally woken them a couple times, and that always ends with everyone in tears as I walk out the door.
That is only a part of my life though, and I wish to share another portion... a part of my life that has filled me with emotions and happiness that I have not felt for many years. You might have guessed by that statement, but yes, I am referring to my girlfriend... Lindsey. She is the best thing that has happened to me for many years, and although we have not known each other very long, I am not sure what I would do without her. Her incredible smile, soft touch, and caring heart make everyday something new and I find myself always thinking about her and wanting to be with her and to hear her laugh.
These two sides to my life, and the fact that they are in different cities makes things difficult for me and far from simple. It is this that makes me dream of a simple life... a life where I could enjoy the best of my two worlds... a simple life I could enjoy and not have to be away from the ones I love, during the week, or on weekends. I am not certain yet how to make that simple life a reality for me, but it is what I dream of... and I have always been one to chase my dreams.
