My Hero

Two years ago today, I met, face to face, the man you often hear me talk about, my boyfriend, David. Yes, I am going to brag about him. I'm going to tell you what a great catch he is. And I might even gush. So, consider yourself warned! Most of you know, David is an avid photographer.

He loves his baby girl, Alissa.

He is a supportive father to Dustin.

He's a mouse catcher. I found evidence of a mouse in my house and the man brought a live trap over. The first night with Cheerios as bait, look what we got!

And then, there was the snake. Saturday, this lovely copperhead showed up on my patio. It was within feet of my cats and chickens. Yes. David is also a snake catcher/relocator.

You better believe that snake picture is his. Didn't I mention that he is a photographer? If you have never perused his flickr account, it would be worth your time. Go here.

He paints.

He is a chainsaw welding, cubby hole removing boyfriend.

He humors me when I want to take self-portraits.

And most of all, he looks at me like this...

I am not at all sure that life gets better than this. (Happy Anniversary, David. I sure do love you!) Now, I ask you. Aren't I blessed?

Happy Monday!

  4. Mindy,
    There's nothing better that having the one you love stand with you in all that life can throw at you. And believe me after fourty years we've had a few curve balls, but together we endured them. Congratulations on you anniversary...may you have many many more to come! Do good at your show!

  8. A man can say "I Love you", but it's the day to day things that prove it...mouse catcher and snake remover are proof positive!
    Have a great anniversary, and lots of fun at the show!

  10. Hi Mindy (and David!),
    Getting to meet the two of you yesterday at Warrenton was simply awesome. I plan on blogging about your tent later today, but I just had to tell you again how amazing everything looked. I really appreciate your style, because there's a definite edge to it...it has spunk and sass, and it's right up my alley.

    I really do hope I'll be able to make it up to W&T's this Fall, all you folks from there are just so genuinely nice and made me feel like a true junk sista.

    Much success this week!
    Love,
    Anne

  15. You are a lucky girl! I don't care how much I loved someone, not sure I could be a snake catcher! Hang on to him tight!
