I?ve told the story here before.  How we met online and developed a relationship so special that I knew I had to go visit him to make sure it was real.  It was a leap of faith but it was worth it.<\/p>\n<p>By this time last year, my visit was drawing to an end and I realized that visiting Dan wasn?t enough.  I <b>knew<\/b> Dan was the one for me and I didn?t want to leave him.  It wasn?t just that I?d found someone to share my kink with (although we matched up perfectly on that score), it was that I?d found someone to share my love and life with.  <\/p>\n<p>At that point, I counted myself lucky and the two of us started making plans on how to be together on a permanent basis.  I can?t believe how well this has all worked out and how much in love we are and how much fun we have together.  It?s wonderful and amazing!<\/p>\n<p>The only drawback last year was that I had to return home, put my affairs in order, and move to where Dan lived.  Huge leap of faith!  The only thing I can say is we obviously were meant to be together.  <\/p>\n<p>So that brings us to this point, our one year anniversary is coming up soon.  It?s close enough to Valentine?s Day to make that a very special time for us.  In fact, I?m supposed to start my wish list so he?ll have plenty of time to fill it.  <\/p>\n<p>You can safely bet that there will be plenty of spanking toys and other kinky goodies on my list.  I plan to put the ones I find online here so he?ll be able to find them easily and hopefully (please!) I can get input from you readers about my choices.<\/p>\n<p>Let?s get started with this pretty little paddle I found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.westwardbound.com\/wb.php?p=product&#038;mod=product&#038;costumeID=1698\">Westward Bound<\/a>.  I know, it doesn?t look too intense?but it?s pink!  That?s my favorite color btw.  And besides, it comes with matching cuffs.  What more could a kinky girl like me ask for? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.spankingbethie.com\/blog\/pinkheartpaddle.jpg\" alt=\"pinkheartpaddle\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a year since I realized I&#8217;d found the man of my dreams, Dan.
