This week

 Melissa and I got together on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. 

Friday, we were able to go to Outback Steakhouse and then she showed me where her first apartment was when first married to Roman and also her 2nd place which was a townhouse on 900 E. I then showed her where my parent’s house was and my apartment with Nichole, Rick and Elena. A trip down memory lane and then we headed back to the townhome. My heart is full with love for this Creswell girl. 

Yesterday was a beautiful night where we could be up Granite Flats campground. The site was beautiful with encompassing trees, the sound of the river flowing in the background and just Melissa’s companionship. Melissa was able to open up to me quite a bit this past week about her depression and anxiety. I’m grateful for all she’s able to do with me. This will be my biggest struggle. I could spend all my time with her, but she needs to have her own space and time for her own happiness and ability to cope with it.
