We went to the Lehi HS football field and played for a little over an hour and then went to the legacy center to get a workout in. He’s a stud!

Went to dinner with Melissa’s parents

I went to dinner with Melissa’s parents last Saturday, the 16th. We went to Brio Italian restaurant up in City Creek mall in salt lake. Lynn invited us to come eat with them. I was so excited to be invited by Melissa to come meet someone in her family. It felt good to be included and invited. I’m excited to get to know her family. We got to know each other a little bit. Lynn is a judge getting close to retirement. Rachel, Melissa’s mom, is a sweetheart. Melissa and I both got the salmon meal while her parents shared a lasagna. I found out they moved 26 times while Melissa was growing up due to her dad being in the military. 

 

It feels that everyday Melissa is more and more letting me into her life and softening. The way she looks at me and her mannerisms are so tender. She will tickle my hand with her perfectly manicured fingernails, she’ll give me a cute smile and grin as we drive in the car, she tells me stories, lets me know what’s going on with her kids, how she gently and tenderly will rest her head against mine and wants to hold my hand as she reaches for me to hold hers constantly. She is so special. She has healed my brokenness. And, although I know she won’t tell me verbally yet that she loves me, I can tell by her mannerisms and attitude and the way she interacts with me that she does.  For someone like her who has been abused twice by previous relationships, she guards herself and is hesitant to express herself verbally her true feelings. She doesn’t want to be taken advantage of again. She doesn’t have a backup plan if things were to go awry which would cause her anxiety. She has to protect her heart. She tells me she just needs time. Well, I have the rest of my life with her to continue to try to win her love, her affection and to feel safe and secure with. I love her and hope to continue to win her love.  

In this picture above, we went to Log Haven up Millcreek canyon. I had tried a few previous unsuccessful times to get into this place so it was neat to spend a few moments where I could glance across the table at perfection and to feel of the most beautiful soul. Melissa just radiates goodness and love

 

Melissa Elaine Creswell Garcia. I am so grateful that I have the chance to date this beautiful, loving, and wonderful person. I am humbled to be in her presence. I wish I could spend all of my time with her. I never get sick of being with her. Lately, Our normal routine is to hit different restaurants through the week by getting together pretty much each day for dinner and to just talk with each other. These have been special moments that I cherish every day. I will be at work and then I constantly find myself so ecstatic to get together with her for dinner , almost every day. The nicer and fancier restaurants we will visit on the weekends Friday. We have been recently to the prohibition, the tree room up in Sundance, the foundry grill also in Sundance just to name a few. Being in her presence is intoxicating. A couple weekends ago when we went  to the foundry, I just enjoyed walking with her along the lit path from the restaurant to the parking lot and being able to hold her hand, feel her next to me and just look at the light sparkle off her complexion while the lights from the pathway reflect on her . I am constantly in awe of how beautiful she is. I can sit at a restaurant and talk with her for hours and just enjoy being in her presence. Two nights ago, we went to the prohibition restaurant. Melissa typically wears form fitting pants and turtleneck type shirts and sweaters, which augment her perfectly shaped legs and breasts. She is so sexy. I find it hard to contain myself. I also love her hair. She will sometimes have it down, other times she will have it up in a bun, and other times she will have the sexy side braid that I just adore. Every time I am with her now, I tell her that I love her, because I do. I want to share all that I am and have with her. As I was making the dreaded drive back to het house to drop her off after an amazing evening, I embraced her and told her that I loved her as we typically do. As she started to walk back to the door is when I told her that I loved her this time. I am pretty sure she said I love you too while she was walking away to her door.  I think that is what she said. That is at least what I heard. I think she said it out of a natural reaction. Other than that one time, she has not told me she loves me yet. I do wonder why she will not say it back because all of her mannerisms reflect love for me. I do wonder what the hesitation is to saying that to me. I do feel I want to ask her why she doesn’t tell me that or if she does love me. I just want to hear verbal affirmation of her love for me.  She does show her love to me in other ways which I feel. She gets dressed up for me. She has given more of her time for me. For example, yesterday, she came out earlier on Saturday with me with Brad and Calvin and Eli and Van and Ava for topgolf  And the movies. We went to see the movie venom last night but for a couple hours before the movie we played at Topgolf. I forgot to take any pictures. It seems lately. I just want to be in the moment and forget to take pictures.
