Here Goes Nuttin!!! SMILE

Good Morning Stacie's blog readers. If you have tuned in to find a witty, humorous, informative, or passionate blog by Stacie, you are going to be sadly disappointed. Instead, you get to now be a part of the Maiden Voyage of the blog life of Mr. FF. Which come to find out does not stand for Mr. Fu** Face, or Mr. Fat Fu**er, or Mr. Funny Feet. (Who knew?) The good news for you is, if you do not like it, you can go read something else. Don't we live in a great country? Please try to keep in mind, this is a trial thing for me. Sort of like if you want to find out if someone is ticklish or not, you would give them a test-tickle...this is a test blog. So I hope I pass. *crosses fingers* (yes, I will be stealing Stacie trademarks so you don't miss her as much as I do).

I have been given a certain set of rules I must abide by while posting in Stacie's absence. I will share these rules so incase I get out of line, you can feel free to put me in my place.

1. The rules are, there ain't no rules!! (kidding, but you get a prize if you can name that movie.)

2. Keep it clean...kinda. (coincidentally, also a line in the same movie). This rule might pose to be the most challenging for me.

3. Don't get all mushy....a lot. Psssh.

4. I can not write about Stacie....every day. What fun is that?

I never knew there were so many rules to writing a blog. What kind of country do we live in?

Now that we have covered all of the informalities, disclaimers, and legal agreements, we should do this bloggin thing.

Still Reading? Good.

So after a long process of choosing a topic to write about for my inaugural blog, I have decided to be a bit self indulgent and write about one of my favorite topics. That is......drum roll.....STACIE!!!! Don't yell at me just yet, I know what the rules are, but I was given a free pass for one day to write about Stacie. Right now, Stacie, Buggy, and Bubba are comfortably at a cruising altitude of around 42,000 feet aboard an Airbus A330-300 on their way to their final destination of beautiful 85 degree weather, with an ETA of 6:51am pst (this is not your Captain speaking). With that being said, I already miss her immensely. As I dropped them off at the airport this morning, they walked through the doors all joined together holding hands, Stacie turned her head and gave me the most beautiful smile in the world that only Stacie can give. This is the kind of smile that is so heartwarming that it could melt the polar ice cap. Knowing Stacie, there were a plethora of emotions that lied behind that smile. Her smile said to me "I love you and I'll miss you". Behind that smile was a Mother filled with pride of standing on her own and taking her children on a vacation to make memories and have new experiences. Which if you have been reading for a while, you already know this is something that is an accomplishment to Stacie. That smile radiated her anxiety and hopes that her trip would be perfect and go exactly as she had thought and planned it out in her head. Although no one is perfect, Stacie will go to any length to ensure her loved ones are happy, content, and are completely satisfied. (whoa, that bordered on not keeping it clean). Stacie would give the shirt off of her back to please her best friends. (Now we're heading south. Good thing I'm one of her best friends). Ok, back to the topic, I got distracted for a minute. Stacie's smile was also filled with the excitement and anticipation of seeing her Mother and spending quality time with her and making it so Buggy and Bubba get to enjoy their Grandma. Stacie's smile says much more than just a "hey, check ya later", it has love, sincerity, hope, strength, beauty, charm, and compassion written all over it. Her smile is one that I can never get enough of and hope to see a million times over. Keep smiling all week Stacie!!!!
