Pink Bandannas AND Knitting?

Let me introduce you to my sweet man, Steven! We are in the process of growing his hair out for Locks of Love and it is driving him crazy! Thus, the bandanna. He has infinitely more gorgeous hair than I. Some things in life are just not fair! It is thick and shiny. Grows at lightning speed. This hairdressers dream! He is my dream in every way! We spent Sunday with Carl and Karen laughing and eating and just hanging out! It really was fun! He and Carl are so alike in so many ways it it kind of freaks me out. Don't get me wrong he is my next favorite guy in the world. We have been like siblings for years! His wife Karen and I marveled at the "boys" alikeness!

You must understand, I have been single for a very long time with bouts of terrible men here and there. Carl and Karen have been very supportive but were a bit nervous with my dating yet another probable bad choice. Only, I didn't pick Steven. One of my very best friends, Kelly, and her husband Chris picked him for me. An arranged marriage of sorts. Laughing to myself! I was so gun shy in the men department after the breakup before (long before) Steven that Kelly and Chris (who has been Steven's best friend forever) were very stealth about getting us together. That story is for another blog as I love detailed stories. That being said, all of my friends thought, "Great! Another bad relationship!" But to their surprise Steven is wonderful and we laugh all the time. Big sigh of relief from the Pam camp!

These are our dogs, Sophie and Belle. Mutt and Jeff to be sure! Belle thinks she is the boss! Sophie humors her. They fell asleep while we worked on hobbies!

This is Steven before we bought the white and black bandannas! Yes, he is knitting. He wanted to learn a year ago Christmas. It totally shocked and awed me. I think this is the day I knew he was totally the one! I have never had a guy that was interested in my hobbies! He very quickly taught himself how to argyle working with four balls of yarn at once. I lovingly refer to him as "the knit snob". Of course it is because I am jealous! I am currently working on a sweater for myself even though I have hair now. I still get cold. (shaved my head when a friend and client lost hers to breast cancer.)

Steven would like me to note that he does not wear the pink bandanna any more because he has a more manly one now. I just had to post the picture anyway! With him knitting and all! While he was knitting I painted several new cards that I can't post yet since the birthdays haven't happened yet. I will probably do house work so that I can spend the afternoon knitting! Yea!
