outro-love cause essay

We have a great relationship today and I see a very happy and successful future ahead of us. We both have dreams and goals in life, to keep climbing that "ladder." Whichever way it looks like, we are never going to give up on our love and purpose in life. We are still in love and just as happy as the day we met at that lucky Valentine's Day dance. If anything I think our relationship has grown quite a bit over the last two years. We have had smooth sailing and rough seas to thank for that. We are still learning today how to communicate properly with one another, and to continue to grow for the better. We do learn from mistakes of the past, that is what makes us who we are today.

Lastly, to all those "love critics" out there that kept telling us we wer'nt going to make it this far; looks like we beat the odds now, did'nt we?

middle-love cause essay

Since the day I met Geromy, I have been completely head over heels in love with him. You know that feeling of butterflies in your stomach because your feelings of love are so strong? Geromy is the kind of person who is always willing to help others, even if it's not convenient for him. He works for a homeless shelter and helps folks with finding permanent adequate housing and counsels them on being independant and responsible for themselves. The amount of caring and patience he has is extraordinary. He would sacrifice of himself to help those around him who are less fortunate than he.
Another reason why I love him so much and so deeply is the way he treats me. He has always treated me with the respect I deserve as a woman. He has a very gentle demeanor about him, he takes the time to be romantic and really shows me that he genuinely cares for me. A recent example of this is for my birthday, he took me out to eat at a fancy Japanese restaurant. At the end of our meal, the waiter brought a huge bouquet of flowers to our table with a piece of birthday cheesecake, for me. It was so SWEET! He never ceases to amaze and surprise me.
He is a very sensitive, caring man and the way he shows me is by calling me during the day while he is at work; just to say "I love you." He rushes home after work to see me because he can't stand another moment without me. He loves running his fingers through my hair, and gently kisses my forehead, while we are lying on the couch relaxing. He even goes to the store when Im sick, to get me chicken noodle soup and saltine crackers to make me feel better. Best of all, I love the silly things we do when we are together. We use our hands to make puppets that make funny and sarcastic remarks to each other. I love the tickle fights in bed that last a few hours sometimes. By the end of it we are both holding our stomachs in pain, because of the length of time we were laughing. We have so much fun when we are together. I can honestly say, that he is my best friend and my lover, all in one.

Love-cause intro (take 2)

I am sitting here at my desk, it's late; maybe midnight on saturday night. My thoughts are wandering off even though I'm supposed to be reading my psychology book. All of a sudden I see a vision of the past...I see the VFW hall, it's all decorated up with red and pink balloons and streamers everywhere for a dance. A Valentines Day AA dance...A chem free event. The VFW hall is mainly used for meetings for AA. Sometimes they use it for a veterans event function as well. I look closer at the scene and there I was sitting next to Erica a friend of mine from the program. We were laughing and giggiling because there was a couple of hotties sitting a few tables in front of us. I noticed that they kept turning around and looking back at us and smiling. The guy on the right was soooo handsome. He had a very nice smile, great hair. Great taste in clothes and he actually looks like he takes care of himself.(unlike alot of men) My friend was checking out the other guy and went over and asked them two to dance with us. They said sure so we went out on the dance floor and had a great time. The dancing came so natural for us both. His name was Geromy, and little did he or I know what was going to develop in the years to come. It only took one dance, and we were hooked. LOVE; go figure.

Graf # 8 Love-cause intro

Since the very day I met Geromy, I have been completely head over heels in love with him.You know when something's different when your stomach starts to turn and feels like real butterflies dancing around. Every time I would see him after that I would start to blush and that familier mysterious fluttering in my stomach would start all over again. I got nervous because I didn't want to do something stupid and send him running for the hills. Our love grew stonger as the days went by. We would go through the worst weather and sub zero temps outside just to be with each other. Just holding each other on the park bench in the middle of winter when it's snowing and 20 degrees out is real debtication. We had to sneak around to see each other. He would pick me up from my place and every time I got into his truck I felt serious exhilaration. We would sing and ride around and in no time we became best friends. We also have had very romantic moments in private places around the state of Maine from our escapades. We still have that connection 2 years later and we can still finish each other's sentences and thoughts as well. I feel like we are meant to be together forever.

Graf #7 "person"

Here we are a little more than two years from the time I met him. He showed up at an inconvenient time in my life. I had repeatedly told myself I wasn't going to focus on a man. It was going to be about me nobody else. I know that seems selfish to many people but you don't know what I have gone through in the last decade with men. Mostly destroyed my life, so I wanted to start to repair the damage that I have caused for myself. I met him when I was begining my journey into a life of recovery. At an alcoholics anonomyous valentines day dance I laid eyes on him for the first time. He stood out of the crowd to me, mostly because he was very handsome and tall and muscular. We ended up dancing together and from that moment on it has been history. Aproximately two years of great history, and a little less than great on a few occasions. He has brought meaning to my life and has taught me the essential building blocks of maintaining a healthy relationship. It has taken a lot of work on my part I can admit. I still have work to do in the changing department. I sometimes look innocent but believe me Im not. I have anger issues and I like to assume things on a regular basis. That causes problems for our relationship, but he is so patient with me. Over and over I make mistakes, but he has always been there for me and worked through our problems. He has also brought working out in the gym into my life too. He is a nutricianist and kind of a personal trainer. He has taught me about eating right and the right combinations ofexcerise and diet to try and get healthy. Over all I have lost thirty pounds since we met and I am so thankful to him for that. Not only that but I am so in love with him. He literally makes me "weak in the knees." The spark has gotten brighter with us which is a first for me. I look forward to seeing him when he comes home from work and I can't wait for the weekends so we can spend time together. I'm so glad that our life is going in the direction that we both want it to go in. We dream of a house with land, we dream of further education for both of us, and we dream of traveling all over the world.

Graf #5 "things"

This is going to sound wierd cause I know most people wrote about personal "things" from childhood or an emotional "thing" that made an impression in someones life. Well dont expect that from me today 'cause im going to write about something "materialistic" to me. (if that is even a word)
Yesterday as I was walking back from getting my bus pass, in the downtown, I had to walk by the bridges to get to my house. I was so busy, hurrying along the sidewalk trying to keep time on my side. All of a sudden I was sidetracked with the beauty of the river and the ice that has formed through the canal. I stopped for a moment to look at the beautiful scene. There was so much ice and the way it had frozen was like it was strategically placed in the canal perfectly. I noticed there was small twigs and various debris that had frozen in place. I gazed at the sheets of ice that were stacked almost on top of one another. It reminded me of the titanic because of the way the ice had frozen, I thought "well if a ship could come thru here it would probably hit an iceberg and sink." Nice thought, huh? Well I didn't mean literally, but the idea is there.
The whole idea of this story is this.....While I was looking at the canal of ice under the bridge, I immediately thought to grab my handy dandy cell phone. The cell that I got for x-mas was the top of the line. It has a great camera on it, with excellent digital quality. It has an mp3 that has all of my favorite artists and cool playlists. It has pics of my family, friends and pet rats. It basically has everything I ever needed for electronic devices on the go. Boy how I love technology today. Getting back to the story....Well I ended up whipping out my cameraphone and snapping shots of the river. All the while scurrying along to keep my busy schedule for school and work...I happen to think that is really convenient....to me at least.

Graf # 6 isearch topic

Yes....I finally figured out what I am going to write my isearch paper on.....something that has a lot of meaning to me....thats a very broad topic with lots to write about....lots of info to gather....and very close and personal which adds flare to the subject and paper.....

Bean backpack- graf #5

I am made of water resistant material, i outsmart that darn snow and sleet we have here in Maine. I have a very famous name. Everyone that lives in New England knows my family. Inital's L.L.B I am very important to my owner, because without me, she can't be organized and have her books for class. I am bright purple just like "Barney" the dinosaur.(dont ya just love barney?) "i love u, u love me where a happy family" What a load of crap! Nobody's family was that perfect. Well getting back to my purpose of writing to you. My left strap is starting to tear slightly, I knew it yesterday when I heard a ripping sound, not fast, but real slow rip. I know she puts way too much in me, cause i"m feeling really overworked the last few days. Off to the downtown, to the library again. "Whew" I dont know how much longer I can pull this load of books, laptop, pink metal thermos for coffee and other misc. crap. Its only a matter of time until, that strap lets go, and boy I cant wait to laugh at her and said "I told you so". I told her it would help me if she could go get one of the laptop carriers. That would take half of the weight off her back. I know she has been downing the ibuprofen and various other meds just to carry crap in me. Well, we will see if she takes my suggestion before I rip and she can't use me anymore.

graf 4 - Unique

What makes me unique, unlike any other person is the ability to switch moods at lightening speed. Ha Ha funny, right?Well its true....Let me paint the picture for you.I wish I could say it was a positive attribute.....but I can't....This is a typical evening for us....I study all day, mixed with cleaning,laundry and other various chores around the house....In my eyes, I have quite a work load myself, even thought i only work 4 hours a week.....It adds up quickly....I love my boyfriend, right? I'm sure you have gathered that by now....Well, how come I question where he goes, what he does, and if he is even ten minutes late getting home from work?...I get mad or upset for no reason...It doesn't make sense for me to believe anything is going on while he is working.....I have to start giving credit where credit is due...I feel like I have been doing some deep soul searching about the things i do...about the things I say....That's IT! I need to stop and think before I do and say things....I know it sounds so simple, just change right?....Okay well I will admit that i'm not perfect, but I need to admit I do things that are just down right wrong. Is all about choices in life....Whether you make the right choice or the wrong choice.....it all affects your future.

Promt #1


 

A long intake of breath felt like icicles in my lungs. As I walked towards the door

to my gym where I workout, I took the time to feel the cold, crisp air. It was bitterly

cold that night. I was reminded of that when my legs started to freeze from the 3/4

length workout pants I was wearing. That doesn't stop me from going outside and

enjoying activities that I like doing. "I need to stick with this exercise regiment and

tough it out if I want to lose weight or gain muscle." I said to myself under my breath.

I went to the check-in desk, then to the locker room to put my stuff in a locker. I usually

do some type of cardio workout for 15-20 mins like elliptical, or the treadmill for warm up.

Then GO and I go to the weights to do our bi's and tri's. We usually do about 15 sets

Every workout session. I have fun going with GO to the gym.
