Valentine's Day

Inspired by Suzanne Winn's blog, my soon to be siter-in-law, I'm writing tonight. I'm sitting next to her sister and my baby's mama / fiance' Stacey. We've just had a relaxing Saturday Valentine's day. I won't go into many details but we've ended up on the couch surfing the internet. We're watching videos of Suz's son Jaxon (4 in April) browse the internet...he's surfing YouTube already! He's doing the same things we are!

Life is always interesting as a Blackwell. That's never more true than it is right now. I'm in love with the most beautiful girl I've ever met ... the girl of my dreams and we're getting married! We've also created life and are talking and growing together as a couple. Preparing to be parents, I guess you could say. It's crazy! We're talking about invitations and how we're going to "do" Christmas. We're talking about and observing childrens behavior and how we're going to raise OUR child.

...

Yeah, I said "and how we're going to raise OUR child". Sometimes it still doesn't hit. But it's as real as it's ever going to be. Stacey sits right next to me looking up wedding dresses as we're suckin' down smoothies with engagement rings on.

Life is good. I'm growing up more and more every day. I thought maybe I still had a few years to goof off, but not anymore! :) It's cool. I dig the responsibility of being the man of the house (whatever that means) and taking care of Stacey and my baby. I can't wait til the little guy comes out!! You know our kid is going to be the most photographed kid in the world. ;)

So I'll stop rambling for now and send you over to Stacey's blog so you can get to know her a little bit.

Peace,
