Family Date Night

Tonight is very special night for me and my little family, though I am so in love with Demi, Sonny and Kayleigh that I think anytime I get to spend with them is special to me. Cause I am super busy between writing my cookbooks that hopefully teaches other guys that is not just a woman's job to cook meals and there is great joy and accomplishment in creating a meal that your love ones enjoy, and working on the movie sets that I am blessed to have the opportunity to be on where I can showcase the talents and skills that God has given me to my loyal and devoted fans who have stood by me through the ups and downs of my life, both career and life wise.

Most nights, it seems like Demi and I are always passing each other during the day and sometimes not even have time to take a breath before it is time to head off to another place to work. We just have time for a quick kiss and then off we go. Demi is also super duper busy with writing, recording and singing her from-her-heart-soul-touching-intimate-danceable-catchy-radio-friendly songs, I never get tired of listenning to her songs (I can't decide if I enjoy hearing Demi's songs from her own beautiful, angelic voice while we are cuddling in each other's arms and Demi is singing softly into my ear in our own love bubble aka in our room or listenning to her songs in the car, droning out the stress of the movie that I am working on if only for a little while and bopping to the tune as I belt out the words and try to focus on the road and other drivers around me)

Demi and I made a promise that one of us has to be home when the girls are out of school, there is no way that I am letting my family, friends or even a babysitter raise my little angels and experience all the joys, good times, laughter, memories and worst times that having children and family brings to a person firsthand. I don't want to look back and regret missing out on any important and memento moments that my girls experience with their wide, open and innocent eyes and not be there to experience the moments with them as they happen instead of having to hear about them from Sonny and Kay secondhand.

Nothing, not even all the money and fame in the world, could replace being the best daddy I can be to Kay and Sonny. I want to be the type of parent that Mom and Dad were to me, Spence and Sammy when we were growing up; supportive no matter what dumb mistakes we did or the descions we made in our lives (they were there for all of our activities from ballet recitals, soccor games and graduations), loving even in public and in front of our friends that embarassed us immensely or got us teased by our friends.

Mom and Dad were also extremely fun to be around (dad was never afraid to let us kids beat him up in play fights and mom was forever trying to get us to dance our butts off to the songs on the radio using household items as our dance partners) and of course loving, mom tucked me, Spence and Sammy in everynight complete with kisses until the day we left for college and even when we came home from school we got tucked in or at least gave us a kiss and a "sweet dreams honey".

Dad wasn't afraid to show us kids especially Spence and me, that it is perfectly acceptable for boys to show the people they care about how much that person means to us through forms of affection such as hugs, kisses and of course telling them with words how much we love and care for them. Then of course, mom and dad had to also have a strong hand, a sense of morals and their own way of discpline cause every child needs discipline and structure in their lives to be functioning, active and highly developed members of the human race.

I hate coming home after a long day's work at the studio to find all three of my sweethearts asleep all cozy in their beds and exploring Dreamland although Demi does try her hardest to stay up so I can have someone to talk to about my day, the good and bad parts, and have some company as I eat the dinner that Demi so lovingly saved for me. But most nights I come home to my very own Sleeping Beauty with her book falling out of her hands, aww my Dem Dem was so sweet trying to stay up so we can get some alone time since we sometimes have no time to talk or just cuddle, one of my fave activities to do with Demi, cause of our busy schedules.

Even though I get sad when I come home and find my sweetie fast asleep, cuddled up to my pillow on my side of the bed with a smile on her face, cause it means that I won't get my cuddle and talk time with my darling wife, I really don't want to disturb my angel's slumber for my own selfish reasons. So when that happens, I just tuck Demi all cozy and warm into the blankets, kiss her check with whispers of "Night sweetheart. Sweet dreams" then get ready for bed myself before cuddling up to her, picking up Demi and laying her head on my chest so that she is tucked into my arms before I fall alseep too

Usually Demi and I do something together outside of the house every Friday. I don't care if Demi and I go to the local park for a picnic and a walk around the nature trail, go to a Texas Rangers game where we yell and cheer like idiots for our hometown with our red shirts and baseball hats or even go bowling where we have our only-for-fun-competition which usually includes Demi and me doing our ridiculously silly and goofy victory dances when we knock down even one pin.

Like i said, I look forward to every moment, no matter how small, I can get with my wife and daughters. I actually have a heart sticker on every Friday of every month to symbolize my date with the woman who means everything to me, who is my inspiration, my role model on the type of person I want to be in life and my angel on earth. I look forward for Friday even more since I know it is date night with Demi, even my friends and family know not to bother me or Demi at all that night cause the only person I want to focus on is Demi.

Heck I even think Sonny and Kayleigh love Date Night, even though I know that they treasure anytime they can get with their mommy and me, when Demi calls from work to say she is going to be late for dinner that night, either Sonny or Kay ask in a very anxious voice if she will be home in time for some play and cuddle time before bed or both girls try with all their little might to beat sleep until either Demi or I come home so they can tell us all about their adventures in Kindergarten while cuddling with us.

When Demi and I go on our dates, Kay and Sonny are usually "baby-sat" or as they call it big-girl-looking-after cause they aren't babies so it can't be called baby-sitting, by one of their aunts, uncles or grandparents. Once the girls know who is looking after them for the night, they have to discuss the whole night's activities with us about what they want to do with their babysitters from the time they set foot in the door and Demi and I leave to when we come and get them, even though usually they are sleeping like little angels when Demi and I pick them up.

This date night is a little different then Demi and mine's usual Friday night date, Sonny has a dance recital tonight which she has been practicing for weeks and every other place she can think of like our living room complete with knocking down the side tables, the plants and almost the lamps, the halls of the school, thank God no one was in it at the time and the park with bumping into trees, the benches and of course the playground equipment. And no matter how many band-aids or times Demi and I as sweetly and gently as we can suggest she wait until dance class to practice her awesome moves, she continues to practice whenever she can. My determind little dancer :).

Kayleigh has been working on a poster to support her younger sister at her recital all week. Our recycling bin is filled with the "rejects" either the color wasn't right,there was an error, even as slight, in the writing or Kay changed her mind of what she wanted to say. What a supportive big sister my Kayleigh is, she and Sonny always making up posters and signs of encouragement and love for what seems like every event in someone they loves' life, whether it be Demi recording a new CD, me filming one of my comedy movies to Sammy's soccor games.

I know that Demi and me loving looking out into the audience and seeing those two sweet,little faces with their million watt smiles that stretch from ear to ear, just like their mommy, hearing their chants of "We Love You Daddy!" or "Yeah Daddy!" and seeing their personalized posters, ok so technically Sonny and Kayleigh tell Demi and I what to write on the posters cause their handwritting is still in need of practice, shaking wildly and being held up by small little arms as high as the girls can hold them.

Seeing my girls' support and love towards me as I am showing the world my God given talents and skills as well as my two little angels makes my heart grow bigger with each heartbeat and become filled with love and affection for the 3 most important girls in my life, oh excuse me the woman and two little girls in my life, I want to do projects that has a good message for young people about how they should live their lives and entertain all viewers no matter what age, gender or interests so that everyone enjoys the movie. So in general, I want Kayleigh and Sonny to be proud of their parents, their accomplishments, descions and think of us as their role models of how to be the best versions of themselves cause that is one of the roles of a parent.

Finally Kayleigh was satisfied with her poster that read "Go Sonny. I Love you Sissy", aww that is so sweet Kay. I am sure that your sister will love seeing your poster of love and encouragement for her and will give you a big hug of thanks. Before the recital, we were going to Kelsey's Restaurant for a special family dinner cause this is an important event in our little family and it needs to be celebrated as much as we can so Sonny can feel special for one night cause everyone deserves to feel special, it boost someone's self esteem a bit cause all focus is on you for a night.

Once again I am blown away by the girls' differences; Kayleigh had no problem helping Demi pick out her dress, she gave us both a small little fashion show of her and her mommy's choices of dresses and from the big grin on her face and her excited squeals of joy as she twirled around letting the skirt twirl around her she enjoyed being all girly. Finally Kay settled on a pale yellow polka dotted sundress with her auburn hair in pigtails, her favorite hairstyle, after contemplating with an adorable look on her face complete with pursed lips.

Sonny, on the other hand, wasn't too excited about wearing a black skirt and white blouse. Hey it isn't a dress which Demi and I already know Sonny hates wearing cause she doesn't like to be reminded that she is a girl instead of the tomboy her mommy and I know and love. That was Demi and mine's arguement when Sonny made a fuss about her outfit and with an adorable frown Sonny agreed. She even sat still for her light brown hair to be put into a bun and she never has liked having her hair done cause it means she can't move and that is not in my sweetie's vocabulary.

Demi, of course, looked beautiful in a dark burgandy sleeveless dress with matching black shawl with her light brown hair with blonde highlights in waves around her ivory skinned face and shoulders, she looked like a Goddess, my very own Goddess but then again she always looks beautiful to me. Even when Demi is wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt covered in paint, markers and dirt from playing with the girls, hair a mess, she still makes me do a double take and not be able to keep my eyes off her.

I chose a pale blue dress shirt and a tan pants with black dress shoes which made me look pretty according to my girls, I even got extra hugs from both girls as well as Kay and Sonny hanging off my legs as we waited for Demi to put on some make-up, though I think that Demi looks even more beautiful when she isn't wearing make-up just lipgloss cause it lets her natural beauty shine out for the world to see.

The ride to the restaurant was fun; Kayleigh and Sonny dancing in their carseats and singing their lungs out to their favorite Barney CD as Demi drove and I daydreamed and reminisced about how incredibly lucky and honored I am that I had found the woman of my dreams in the last place I thought I would find it; on the set of "Sonny with a Chance", and now am living the life I have always dreamed of; a good career where I am able to use my talents and skills to entertain and educate the next generation, have a loving and supportive family, have true love with Demi, two beautiful and healthy daughters who I love with all my heart as well as my health.

The restaurant wasn't packed, thank goodness, cause I don't want to have my family's dinner interupted by overjealous fans wanting a photo and an autograph. I wanted it to be just my wife, me and our two little girls, just like any other normal family dinner. The girls seemed to enjoy being at the big table without booster seats, they just had to sit at the edge of the seat to reach the table to eat, they must have felt really grown-up cause when they climbed into the seats they sat up straight with their hands on the table like I am sure they have seen Demi and I do when we sit down.

Once the waitress had given them a kids menu which of course included pictures to color and activities to do, both Kay and Sonny got right to work and didn't really give us an answer to what they wanted for dinner, Demi and I would offer suggestions and Kay and Sonny would either shake their heads or nod in response. We finally agreed on two grilled cheeses with a nice big healthy glass of milk for the girls, Demi got a spghetti platter with sprite and I got a nice juicy, medium rare steak with mashed potatoes, corn, peas and a roll complete with a glass of water, I know boring right?

The girls tried their hardest to remember their manners, just like Demi and I had taught them, but they were excited at eating in a restaurant, cause eating out is a treat done like every 2-3 months or so, and of course the excitement of Sonny's dance recital cause no parents were allowed to watch the rehersals for fear that their kids would become too nervous and too focused on their parents to practice their moves. So this is the first time Demi, Kayleigh and me will see Sonny perform though we did get a small glimpse of the show whenever Sonny did her practicing in those interesting places.

The girls were done before Demi and I did so they started to get really ansty which included making funny faces at each other as well as a kicking game, Kay was sitting beside me and Sonny beside Demi so the girls were facing each other. Both games resulted in loud and boistrious giggles from both girls which made the neighbouring tables look at us in annoyance at their dinners being interupted by two small children making noise. Demi and I tried to shush by reminding both of them where they were and what was the proper behaviour for being out in public.

Demi and I ate our dinner in record time when Sonny and Kayleigh started to whine about how bored they were complete with putting their little heads on the table, lamenating about how slow Demi and I were eating and how Sonny was worried we would be late for the recital cause the girls had to be there an hour beforehand to make sure everyone and everything was set up for the recital. Don't worry sweetie, mommy and I know you are super excited about your performance tonight so we won't let you be late.

Then it was time to go to the recital, Demi went to the changing room to help Sonny get dressed in her costume cause it is tricky to put on cause it is skintight and gets stuck on limbs easy, while Kayleigh and I went to our seats, Kay made me put her poster for her sister on my lap or she would sit on it so that she can pull it out for her sister's performance. Demi soon joined us which was right before the lights went off and the performances began.

Sonny's group performance was near the middle. I tried my hardest not to twiddle my thumbs, shake my leg and concentrate on the other performances but I could feel my mind wandering to the next day's work schedule and some of the recipes I wanted to try out for my night of cooking, no matter how hard I tried to tell myself to pay attention, my mind wandered many times.

Sonny and 4 other little girls her age, I don't know their names or have met them, were performing a jazz number to the song "CandyMan" complete with fake and pretty big candycanes for 5 year olds, man was that candycane a pain to make so Demi had to hold the stick while I twined the red and green ribbons around it. Sonny and her partners were dressed in a leotard with red, white and green stripes painted on it with white tights.

The girls adorabley shook their little tushes, pranced, jumped and moved as gracefully as 5 little 5 year olds could, you could tell that each one of the little sweeties were throughly enjoying dancing and showing their mommies, daddies, grandparents and siblings what good little dancers they were cause they were smiling really big.

You think Kayleigh was at one of Demi's concerts by the way she was acting, holding up the sign, well ok Demi and I were holding the sign and Kayleigh was holding the middle part as she called out "That's my sissy. You go Sonny!. I so proud of you!" which got her muffled chuckles and whispers of "How adorable. What a good big sister" from all around us.Demi and I whispered for her to tone done her encouragement and to put down her sign cause Sonny and the rest of the girls wouldn't be able to concentrate with her yelling plus her sister already knows that Kay loves and supports her.

With an embarrassed look on her face for possibly disrupting her beloved sister while she is doing something she dearly loves and bugging the people around her, Kayleigh put down her sign and after clapping as enthusiatically as her little hands could when Sonny's dance was over, Kayleigh spent the rest of the recital sitting quietly with her little hands in her lap. But after the recital, she rushed down the hallway to practically knock Sonny down in a huge hug which Sonny gave back just as hard.

Of course Demi and I gave Sonny a hug and a kiss of congradualations and I had bought my little dancer a tulip cause every dancer gets a bouquet of flowers after a performance so why not give Sonny a flower? Sonny's gorgeous smile grew even wider and she even squealed as she threw herself into my arms thanking me for the pretty flower. I think a good performance like the one Sonny and her friends did deserves an ice cream as a reward.

Puppy Dog Eyes

I knew that sometimes Fate tests you to make sure that you are strong enough to handle tough times but these past two and a half months have been the hardest I have seen. I always thought that finding out that my biological mom was a Queen of a magic filled kingdom which means I was the next in line for the throne and had magical powers was the toughest thing I would have to go through cause it meant another heap of stress and responsibilities on my already full plate of life.

Although hearing the news from an extremely adorable young man and the fact that the same young man got to practically live in my family's guestroom where I could see and be around him 24\7 cause from the first time I laid eyes on Kuru, I knew that I wanted to get to know this young man further. I am happy to say that I soon realized that Kuru was sweet, caring, sensitive, funny, protective, supportive of me and my dreams and ambitions, soft spoken and generous and everyday, without my knowledge, I fell more in love with Kuru.

I mean why wouldn't I? Kuru was the man of my dreams, the one I prayed to meet one day when I was a child. Too bad it took me a near death experience to admit that to my heart, I always thought that whatever I felt a warm sensation in my tummy when Kuru was near or we were touching each other then "just friends" should have, like Kuru knocking me down by grabbing my waist, standing near to me etc, that it was just a fluke. But it is not a fluke, I was falling in love with Kuru and I am enjoying every moment of it, I worship anytime that Kuru and I are together and put it into my memory.

Fate tested us when one day I woke up to find my poor guy burning up, his checks were almost bright red, and he was coughing really hard, so hard that afterward he would rub his chest cause it hurt to cough. He refused to stay home, I would gladly be his nursemaid and nurse him back to health with a loving and tender touch, so with a bottle of water and some cough drops we went to school.Kuru coughed all through history class and the classes afterwards, it went from a persistant, rough cough to a cough that left him almost breathless.

Things got worse fast when after a cough in biology, Kuru was gasping for breath. Even a gentle pat on the back couldn't get him to breath and he was holding onto the table as he struggled to catch his breath. His olive skin was turning red and his beautiful brown eyes were wide as he was freaking out about not being able to breathe. Thank God for Amanda and JP cause while I focused all my time on my sweetie, JP called 9-1-1 and Amanda called mum and dad to inform them that we were taking Kuru to the hospital.

I rode the hospital wirth Kuru holding his hand, stroking his hair and reassuring him that he was going to be ok. His eyes were wider then I thought someone's eyes could ever go and were begging me to do something to make him feel ok, aww I wish I could do something to make you feel better sweetie even if it entails magic which I am still unsure about.Anything to make that horrified look go out of your big brown eyes and return them to the gentleness they always have.

By the time we got to the hospital, Kuru had went unconscious and I, unfortunatley, had to leave his side so that the doctors could take care of him. Even though I didn't want to leave him, i knew he was in good hands and that the doctors would make him well and plus my family was there so i needed to brief them on what was happening to Kuru and then do the agonizing wait to see what the doctors have to say about my love's condition. It took 2 hours for the doctors to come out and it was the longest wait of my life.

Kuru had come down with a serious case of pneumonia so he was in intensive care, my poor sweetie, I have to see him right now then never let him out of my sight until he is healthy enough to come home with me where he belongs. Ok I know he technically belongs in Manjipour, though I hate how he thinks he is only an Elephant boy so he isn't worthy of doing anything else with his life but he is wrong, I know that if Kuru puts his mind to something he can be anything he wants to be, hopefully a job with animals cause he is so sweet and caring with Anala, seeing them together melts my heart, he really cares for Anala and she cares for him too.

I don't care if I am a Princess of Manjipour, I am in love with Kuru and nothing anyone says or does can stop me from loving him or dream about us being together for the rest of our lives, no matter our social status. You can't stop who you fall in love with cause love doesn't discriminate. Kuru, in my heart, is my King, my everything, my love and my Prince Charming and nobody is going top him. he is like my ultimate guy.

Nothing prepared me for what i saw; my guy covered in wires, he had a breathing tube protruding from his mouth helping him breath, heart monitors on his chest under his gown and of course his IV for his medicine. Kuru was unconscious, he looked like he was sleeping peacefully so we all tiptoed into the room though I doubt we would wake him up. He looked so fragile, small and all I wanted to was scoop him up and hold him until he got better, I didn't want Kuru to look so fragile and so sick.

The doctors came in and said that as welll as pneumonia, Kuru had allergic reactions to the medicine so he also had hives all over his body, heart palipations (his heart was beating irrgeularly), high fever and chills, he couldn't control his own body heat. He didn't know when my sweetheart would wake up but they were going do their best to help him get better, which is all i ask for. I want Kuru home with me as healthy and back to himself in as less time as possible.

When the doctors left, i sat down gingerly on the bed, took my sweetheart's fragile hand being careful to watch out for his IV and made myself comfortable cause I was going to stay beside him the entire time he is in the hospital. Kuru has always been there for me for emotional and physical support whenever I need him so I want to be the same thing for him when he desperately needs it.

The next time we were alone, i unleashed all my feelings; I told him that I have been falling in love with him since we first met, even if I griped about him and Anala "ruining" my life by making me learn magic but I enjoyed every moment that Kuru and I spent together and they are ingrained in my memory.

Then I listed all the wonderful qualities that i love about him. I so wanted to kiss Kuru on his soft, smooth lips but they were covered by the oxygen mask so I had to just kiss his check and pray that one day i can be able to open my heart to Kuru when he is awake and have the chance to hear him say he loves me too and be able to kiss his lips like I have wanted to do for months.

The last month was super hard, when I was away from Kuru, cause apparently I had to still go to school and home, i missed Kuru like crazy and thought about him every moment i could and when I was at the hospital I spent all my time singing new songs to him that i wrote about my love for him, talking to him about what was happening in my life and or just sitting there holding his hand remembering all the memories we shared together.

Finally Kuru woke up from his sleep, I was there when he groggly openned those chocolate pools and looked around unfocus at the strange place he was in. When he looked at me, I could see the confusion and fear in his eyes, Manijpour don't have hospitals or pneumonia. I gently reasurred him that he is ok now, that he was very sick but the doctors took very good care of him as I helped him take a sip of water to wet his dry throat from the tube being down it for a month.

I told him what he had missed and how much I missed him, he actually blushed and looked away while he told me that he is sorry that he worried me so much. Aww honey don't worry, I would have been worried if you had gotten a simple cold, I never ever want to see you hurt physically and emotionally cause when you are hurt then I feel your pain and will do anything to make you happy again.

I found the jealous bug once again, I hated it when I did the spell that made Kuru popular and he had the girls all over him wanting his attention; he was my guy and I should be the only girl wanting his attention and his love, I am the only one who truly loves him, heart and soul, not just because he is very handsome like with the other girls. I hated seeing my guy being gushed over and cooed over by other girls, i would get super antsy, my stomach would roll with uneasiness and all I wanted to do is to get those girls out of my house and my guy's life, even if it's only for 1 night.

I know that Kuru is sweet, caring, kind, supportive, loving, funny, adorable,loyal and many more wonderful qualities that made me fall even more in love with him each day but I am the only one who can see that. I know in my heart that Kuru is my true love, my time as a frog and being turning back by Kuru's kiss proved that fact. The nurses have nicknamed my guy "Puppy dog" eyes cause apparently they notice that my guy has those big beautiful brown eyes which especially get bigger when he is curious about things he has never heard about in this new world, like computers, cell phones, no social standings like peasant and royalty etc.

My heart melts everytime Kuru asks me to explain a new detail aobut the new world especially when it has something to do with something I take for granted or overlook each day as nothing important. He reminds me of a little kid exploring his world and finding new stuff to get excited about. I am just glad he chooses me to ask questions and be his guide in this world, then i know he trusts me to give him a straightforward answer. I guess I shouldn't be too jealous, I mean I am sure that the nurses see Kuru as a younger brother and not romantically. Now to make sure my sweetie gets better soon so I can take him home.

Halloween Fun

I know that as a child I had always loved Halloween. I mean what child wouldn't love a chance to spend the day pretending to be an imaginary character or person, to live out their dream to be someone else for a day without people telling them that it isn't right for them to pretend to be someone they aren't. Of course getting free candy for just saying "Trick or Treat" is another thing that children love most about Halloween.

I was so upset when mom told Dallas, me and finally Maddie when we became teenagers that we were "too old" to continue to go trick or treating, I mean I have seen teenagers come to the house in either complete costumes, most of them with the goal of scaring the little children, or with half done costumes, to get candy but those kind of kids don't get alot of candy just a bag of chips. The candy that Sterling and I give out is only for the young children, like Sonny and Kayleigh's age.

Even though I was upset aobut not being able to still dress up and go out trick or treating, I throughly enjoyed watching the little children's glee, amazement and how their adorable little faces light up with joy when their shy and quiet "trick or treats" give them a "how adorable are you?" and a handful of free candy in their plastic pumpkins. It made my Halloween even special, to see the children's expressions melt with joy as they discover a holiday that lets their dreams and imagination soar.

Sterling and I are thrilled that Sonny and Kayleigh are finally old enough to be able to appreciate and enjoy Halloween the way Sterling, Spence, Sammy,Maddie, Dallas and I as well as any other child growing up did. I can't wait for us as a family to go out to the neighbours and show Kay and Sonny how fun Halloween can be. Months before Halloween I already had the perfect costumes in my mind of what I think Kay and Sonny would look absoluetely adorable in and the girls didn't disappoint me.

Sonny wa going as a bumblebee, she went around the house with her antenna and stinger trying to sting Kay, Sterling and me by chasing us around the house :). Kayleigh was a kitty cat, she would come up to Sterling and me and rub against us purring and if we were sitting down, she would climb on our laps and cuddle up to us, not that she does already do that any other time.

Since Halloween is on a Monday, Sterling, unfortuantley had a busy day of daytime talk show interviews about his new drama "Exhibit A", one of those edge of your seat-white knuckled-eyes locked on screen for the entire kind of movies from the commercials,from what I read from Sterling's script, and from what Sterling told me during our nightly talk of our day.

I know that whatever my sweet guy does in his life, whether writing an anyone-can-do-it cookbook or star in any kind of movie he is wonderful in. Like his ever important role as Kayleigh and Sonny's daddy, Sterling can be a total goofball and isn't afraid to get in touch with his inner child, sometimes when he is playing with the girls I forget that we have two kids not three so he does a wonderful job at making an audience crack a gut laughing in a comedy movie and TV show.

Sterling can make people feel his character's pain, suffering, laughter, joy and happiness, what can I say my love is a very talented man who puts his heart and soul into every role he does until it is like he becomes his characters and goes through what the character is going through. So Sterling would also be a good choice for a drama movie and TV show.

But thank God Sterling will be done by suppertime so he will be able to have dinner with me and the girls and will be able to take the girls out trick or treating which will make the girls smile cause they can spend time with daddy and mommy before sleepytime. During the day I will be taking Kay and Sonny to the local library for some Halloween fun with their fellow cutie puties. The activiites featured are beaded spiders and intertwined webs, Winnie the Poo story and singing sings and I know the girls will have a blast.

People don't know it but Sterling is a pretty good sewer, he admitted to me when we were dating that when he was younger he liked sitting by his mom watching her turn his,Sammy and Spence's torn and ragged pieces of clothing from playing outside all day long with each other and their friends into whole "new" clothes with neat patches so when he moved out he asked his mom to teach him how to sew his own clothes.

It is just another reason why I fell in love with Sterling, he isn't afraid to do jobs around the house that others deem as "woman's" work, he feels that woman and man should have equal duties when it comes to the housework, childcare and work in general and the work is shared equally. There has been times when i have come home dog tired from recording my newest CD to find a yummy, hot dinner waiting for me and Sterling chasing a very energetic, soaking wet and naked Sonny around the house cause she doesn't want to get clean with an equal naked Kayleigh who is trying to help her daddy catch her mischvious younger sister in time for bedtime stories and cuddles so Sterling and I can have some alone time.

It warms my heart and makes it fill with even more love for the three people who I love more then life itself, I always say that I don't think I could love Sterling, Kay and Sonny anymore then they do something totally sweet so that everytime I see Sterling being the bestest and sweetest daddy I could ever have thought of for my future children, my heart fills with more love for Sterling.

He and I are sewing the girls' costumes and so far, I know our little sweeties will look adorable come Halloween night. Sonny's bumblebee costume is black long johh shirt and pants and the rest of it is a yellow vest with black construction paper stripes that reaches to her little knees and is filled with one of Sterling's thickest sweater to make the vest look puffy and to keep my little bumblebee warm. Complete with her bouncy antena, she looks so adorable, then again Sonny is adorable in whatever she wears, even when she is decked out in mud and dirt and hair a complete mess.

Kayleigh's costume is a lot simplier. She is wearing the same black long john ensemble as her sister but she is going to wear at least two undershirts and leggings underneath to keep her warm. Kay also wore black mittens, black painted nose and whiskers on her little button nose and plump-pinchable cheecks and of course a headband with construction ears on it and a black sock filled with paper stuck to her little tushy. Like her sister, I am confident that Kayleigh will look equally adorable in her costume. My little kittycat.

Sterling's costume is a secret, I have tried to convorce him to tell me; batting my eyes, cozying up to him and cooing to please tell me what he is wearing while twirling his hair and saying that I want to know what he is wearing so I can match him but nothing I did or said would get him to tell me. He just smiles at me,kisses my nose or lips, tells me that I will find out what his costume is at Halloween and nothing will get him to spill his guts. Darn, Sterling has always told me that his heart melts and he becomes a puddle when I batt my big brown eyes so that he is helpless and has to do what i say but this time it doesn't work. How did he resist the puppy dog eyes?

Kayleigh and Sonny enjoyed shopping for the candy, they choose the most yummiest candy in the store they could find and of course they had to try out each piece of candy like they were choosing the food for a royal banquet so Sterling and I had to buy a small candy bar for each kind of candy that was in the bix box of assorted candies before we were told that we could buy the big box, thanks Princess Kayleigh and Sonny.

Halloween day was finally here. Poor Sterling had to get up really early, like 6 am to get to the studio and get himself ready for his interview at 8am. And I might not have been fully awake when the alarm rang, I was still half asleep when I hit the snozze button cause there was no way that i would get up even if it means getting some extra snuggly and warm hugs and kisses from Sterling, which of course I adore and treausre everytime i recieve them.

Good thing Sterling loves giving kisses and hugs out to the people he loves just as much as he loves recieving them from Kay, Sonny and me cause it lead to me getting a rain of kisses on my neck and checks and a whispered "Bye sweetheart. I love you. Have fun with the munchkins today" in my ear, his warm minty breath teasing my sensitive skin. That almost made me fully wake up but I was too warm and cozy tucked away in my down duvet to fully wake up.

I must have fallen asleep after Sterling left cause the next thing I remember is two warm little bodies clamoring all over me and telling me that it was time to wakey wakey. Kayleigh came under the blankets and snuggled up to me telling me in quiet tones how excited she was for the day's activities but not Sonny, she kept bouncing on the bed saying it that Halloween and tonight she is going to get a lot of candy.

I told the girls that we weren't going anywhere until two little sweeties get clothes on which got Kayleigh and Sonny to look at each other then get their little butts off the bed and hurry out of the room. I guess they are more excited for the activities at the library then I thought cause I don't think i have ever seen them rush out of a room like that before. I just hope that Kay and Sonny put on weather appropriate clothes and on the right way cause I love how independant my two little angels have become but I don't want them to get cold, the weather is still on the chilly side.

After a nice, hearty breakfast of hot oatmeal with brown sugar sprinkled on top and a glass of nice cold milk, it was time to dress Kayleigh and Sonny in their warmest, thickest sweaters complete with little mittens to keep their little hands warm, get them into their carseats which was kind of hard cause both of them were wiggling with anticpation at the day's planned events and drove to the library.

Earlier that week Sonny, Kayleigh and me had gone to the orchard to pick up the best pumpkin we could find so that as a family we can scoop out its gooey and yucky insides to make our jack-o-lantern and two small pumpkins for today cause one of the library's activities is to decorate pumpkins. They were now on each girl's laps being held tight so they don't get spilt by falling on the floor.

The library was packed full of kids and their mommies and daddies, all anxious to start the activiites. First it was time for decoration of the small pumpkins so I cut open the top then demonstrated how to use the spoon to scoop out the guts of the pumpkin which Sonny gleefully loved, she is my love-to-get-dirty- kind of girl, so with lots of giggles she scopped out as many guts as her shaking-not-completely-strong hand would allow.

Then it was time for some pretty coloring and decorations to be put on the gutless pumpkins, the staff had brought out the works, paint, markers, feathers, sequins and googly eyes. Judging from the giggles and shouts of joys that both Kayleigh and Sonny were emitting, I say that they were enjoying this craft. I guess our porch railings will be decked out with not only the white fake cobwebs, and the witch flying into the tree decoration on our front yard tree.

Next was time for a Halloween story, Winnie the Pooh and the Heplumps. The children looked on with complete interest with wide eyes and clutching either their mommies or daddies' hands or their blankets close to the them as the story continued and got a little scarier. Kayleigh was sitting on my lap, clutching my arm as tight as she could and burrowing her little face into my arm as she shivered in fright, aww my poor little sweetheart.

I, of course, comforted her by cuddling her closer and whispering in her ear that it was ok, it was just a story that someone made up that wasn't suppose to scare little boys and girls and that she was safe with mommy and Sonny here to protect her. Sonny was alternating between rubbing her sister's back and telling her that she was ok, mommy won't let anything hurt Kay or her and listening with rapture at the story. She was probably imagining herself in the story, trying to fight the Heplumps to save the people she loves aka Sterling, me and her older sister. I think someone is going to have a little visitor in their lilac colored bed tonight who will need some comfort that only her younger sister can give her.

Then it was time for another craft, this time one where mommies and daddies had to help their babies with each step cause it was one where you wound some colored string around two knitting spokes to make a web for a beaded spider; pipecleaners wound together with beads on them. I have no idea why this craft was choosen since most the kids there didn't have the dexterity to put tiny beads onto a thin pipcleaner and tightly wind string onto spokes so obviously adults were needed for this craft which makes the children not have the satisfaction of doing the job themselves.

Next was the sing-along, my favorite part of the afternoon. what can I say but I am always in the mood for sing a longs. We learned "The 5 Little Pumpkins", "Must be Halloween", "Witch Stew" and other holiday themed songs. Kay and Sonny really got into it, they didn't always know all the words but that didn't stop them from belting out any words that came to their minds at the top of their lungs along with the other kids. I think that Sterling and I have passed on the love of music gene to our girls.

Kay and Sonny love to sing on the top of their lungs any chance they can get, whether in the car, when they are visiting me in the recording studio or while they are helping their daddy or me making dinner to the radio. Whenever we are watching any kind of musical, like Annie or Enchanted, they sing to all the songs so loud that Sterling and I can't hear the movie so as loving and understanding as we can we put our hands over their little mouths and tell them that as much as mommy and daddy are enjoying their singing, we would like to hear the rest of the movie.

Finally the festivites were over so Sonny, Kay and I visited the children books section to see if we could find some Halloween stories for bedtime. After we had found some, it was time to go home for lunch then maybe a nature walk on the neareast trail. Lunch was grilled cheese sandwichs with glops of ketchup then after clean-up, it was walking time. So with Gracie in tow, it was time for a walk where the girls picked up as many colorful leaves as they could find cause apparantly they were too pretty to pass up. The leaves they didn't pick up were crunched underneath their shoes numerous times before they moved on to another pile of leaves.

When we arrived at the playground Sonny and Kay couldn't resist pleading for me to play there. Of course I said "yes", I wanted to relive my childhood for awhile. For about 20 minutes,give or take, we climbed the stairs and went down the slide, with Kay and Sonny sitting on my lap with the other girl hanging on tight to my waist as we all went down as a group. Then it was time for swings, either on the big swings with one of the girls sitting on my lap as I gently swung or on the kid swings with me alternately pushing them both, Sonny chanting "higher mommy, i wanna touch the sky!" and Kayleigh clutching as tight as she could to the chains cause she didn't like to go high.

After a game of mommy running around in circles pushing Kay and Sonny around and around on the merry-go-around, Sonny, being the little thrillseeker, was hanging on to the rails and leaning back as far as she could and squealing at the top of her lungs about how much fun she was having and Kayleigh, hanging onto the rails and probably praying for the spinning to stop. It was time to go home to wait for Sterling to come home so the girls could gush about how much fun they had today.

Sterling came home to two rambunctious toddlers and while the girls were hanging onto his legs they told their daddy all about their adventures today with mommy. After a kiss on the lips for me, it was time for the Knight family to make some yummy tacos for dinner so while I was responsible for the meat, Sterling cut up the peppers and lettuce then helped the girls grate the cheese, with Sonny holding the chedder cheese and Kayleigh holding the grater with Sterling lovingly and gently guiding both little angel's hands so no one gets hurt.

After the dishes got a bath, it was time to get into the costumes. I helped Sonny and Sterling helped Kayleigh get into their characters for the night, the girls were too eager to get their candy that they didn't fight our efforts to help them get dressed like usual. Sterling made himself into the best monster ever; the tickle monster. He wore a shaggy suit that had big floppy feet and claw mittens and a head with pointy ears.

He looked amazing though at first he scared the girls when they saw their beloved daddy dressed up as a scary monster. But after Sterling gently told them that he wasn't a scary monster but a lovable one. I was his first victim, he grabbed me and proceeded to torture me to a round of immense tickling that no matter how hard I struggled to get out of his vice like arms and begged between laughter to stop tickling me. Then the girls, knowing that daddy monster wasn't scary, got into the game by tickling Sterling as much as they could to get him to let go of me.

I, of course, needed a costume so the whole Knight family was dressed up so I got out an old witch's costume, dress, pointy dress shoes, hat and fake long blood red fingernails and of course the warty long nose. I didn't have time to paint my face green but I was ready in like 5 minutes, a personal best for yours truly especially when i have two very impatient little girls waiting for me. I guess I made for a good witch cause the Tickle Monster instantly got down on his knees and begged me not to turn him into a frog for tickling the Minstress of All Evil. Oh don't worry Mr Tickle Monster I wouldn't think of hurting such a handsome monster like yourself.

We started off at the neighbours who, of course, cooed and awed over our little kittycat and bumblebee which, although Sonny and Kayleigh interacted with on a regular day since most of them have kids the same age or a little older then them that the girls play with daily, made the girls shy away and hide their faces into Sterling and mine's sides.

With some encouraging words and gentle reminders, both Sonny and Kay were able to say "Trick or Treat" and "Thank You" in small little voices while hugging as tightly as their little arms could to both daddy and me. After a few houses on one side of the street, both girls got over their embarassment and actually would do a little twirl when they were told how adorable and precious they looked in their costumes and didn't need any encouragements on what to say from Sterling or me.

Kay and Sonny were getting tired; you could tell by the way they were dragging their feet and their "trick or treats" didn't have the same energy and enthusiam as they did at the beginning. So by 7:30, Sterling and I told the girls that it was time to head home and get ready for bedtime which the girls didn't even fight us, unlike most nights where Sonny always fights us cause she never wants to stop the fun by going to sleep. So when we got home, it was pjs time complete with a small bedtime story about Casper the friendly ghost, kisses, hugs and "sleep tights". Soon the girls were dreaming of their Halloween fun. I can't wait for next Halloween.

A Guy's Dreams Come True

Dedicated to @StemiFlu cause she is the one who has always supported me by getting excited by my writing, giving me postive and encouraging reviews for every one of my stories, and giving me story ideas when I have a mind freeze. Plus she asked me to do an continuation of my story "Our New Life" so here it is. Hope she enjoys it.

I still can't believe that one of my life's dreams for the past 4 years has finally come true; I feel like I am in a love daze, you know what I mean where everything looks hazy and time seems to stop or slow down so that you and the person who has your heart, in terms of me, Ms Demi Lovato, are like the only people in the world. If I am dreaming please don't wake me up.

Hmm now I don't feel so bad about writing "Mrs Demetria Devone Lovato-Knight", "Mr and Mrs Sterling and Demi Knight" and "Mrs Demi Knight" on every piece of paper, whether it be a script for the week's episode or a scrap piece of paper as I am watching TV with Spence, Sammy and our parents. Hey my heart was just writing down it's deepest desire and wish though according to my darling family and closest friends it wasn't a secret that I saw a future with Demi cause I have been in love with her from the first moment I laid eyes on Demi at the first "Sonny with a Chance" table reading, say us combining our lives into one life filled with joy, love, support through good and bad times and lots of laughter as we live as husband and wife.

Growing up I was not a typical guy, I mean yes I liked playing sports and hanging out with the guys being all rumble and tumble but unlike any other guy I never shied away from affection. I loved watching my parents' ovious love for each other cause even after 28 years of marriage they still flirted and acted all lovey dovey, sneaking loving glances and kisses when they thought their children weren't looking. I could just feel their obvious love, support, deep and close friendship towards each other, they are still each other's best friends and will always be there for each other through good and bad times cause they respected and honored their love for each other and their wedding vows.

With my girlfriends, and no I didn't have a lot of them, I tried to be the usual gentlemen. I never pressured my girlfriends to do anything beyond her comfort zone, there was no making out and getting hot and heavy with hands roving under clothes kind of thing. Nope cause I respect not only myself but my girlfriends and was raised that I should wait for my wedding night with my one true love and soulmate before expressing my love in the deepest sense God designed between husband and wife. What can i say I am a romantic at heart.

I even had a list of the things I wished my soulmate would have; she has to be sweet, caring, down to earth, friend-family orientated, wants to make a difference in the world by using their talents and gifts to help one person at a time, kind and be beautiful inside and outside. And once I met Demi and I looked into her big beautiful chocolate eyes and I knew I had found a woman who fulfilled every one of my dreams and fantasies of my soulmate.

I thought Demi was the most beautiful woman ever with her big chocolate doed eyes that drew you in and make you want to get to know the woman inside and out, heart and soul. Paired with those silky, auburn hair that just cascades over her shoulders and down her back and just begs you to run your fingers through it so it flows like a river in your hand and that gorgeous smile that lights up the room and puts you in a happy mood where everything is sunshine and roses even at its darkest hours and you have got the woman of my dreams.

I hope and pray that I didn't drool and stutter too much cause a little voice in my head, I think it was my conscience, saying that this was the woman I have been dreaming aobut meeting forever so not to screw it up. I pray to God that my mind and tongue coperated with each and allowed me to actually say full sentences to Demi cause I defiently wanted to know everything there is about Ms Demi Lovato.

I took every chance i could to hang out with the beautiful both inside and out young woman Matthew had brought into my life, whether on set or outside of work, so I could get to know the woman I fell even more in love with each time I was with her. The time Demi and I hung out, whether with our best friends, family or just with each other, which I loved the most, was one of the best moments of my life. I didn't feel pressured to plan fun things for Demi and I to do together, we both were satisfied with sitting inside our houses and just talk about random things like what matters to us in our lives, the world's happenings and what we have read online about what our fans are saying about us.

Sometimes we don't even have to say anything, we are just comfortable with each other's presence and ourselves so we don't have to talk to really connect with each other, our personalities just mesh with each other so we instantly connect to each other naturally. We can be ourselves around each other, no fakeness, just Demi and Sterling, no questions asked. And anytime I got to hang out with Demi was the highlight of my week, my month and I would even put on my calender of the next time I got to hang out with Demi with a big circle to announce the date.

Spence always tells that on the day when I get to hang out with Demi, even if it is only for a couple of hours, I get this really dorky smile on my face that no matter how many times he tells that it is freaking him out won't go it won't go away. Apparently I take an hour hot shower where I scrub every inch of my body at least twice. Then I become like a girl by trying on so mnay outfits and asking him which one he liked better and squealing about how excited I am to be around Demi. Thanks bro, love you too though I know that you love Demi like an older sister.

Everytime I was around Demi, either on set or off set, or talked or thought about her, I fell even more in love with her, I mean what idiot wouldn't fall in love with Demi as she is like the perfect woman ever made, it was like God created her just for this world and for me. I cringe at the fact that I wasn't the only one who saw what a beautiful inside and out woman she was. I hated seeing Demi in the arms of another man and Demi showering her deep affection to other men cause I know that I am the man of her dreams and the only man who could and ever would truly and deeply love her. These guys may be dating my angel now but I know that Fate will prevail and unfortunately my angel will be dumped by the men she thought loved her for her but weren't mature enough to handle a young woman like Demi.

Even though I never wanted to see Demi's gorgeous brown eyes water up with tears or have her tender, fragile heart broken by anyone cause when Demi is sad then my heart also breaks and I am willing to do pretty much anything to make that million watt smile appear back on her face. Cause even though I have another chance at showing and telling the woman of my dreams how much i truly and openly love her, i don't ever want to see my sweetie get hurt, either physically or emotionally. I just want the best for Demi cause I know she deserves only the best life can offer cause if she is truly happy then I'm truly happy.

I still can't believe that I got the nerve up to sing a song that I had been writting for months now because each lyric and sentence had been taken from the deepest recess of my heart and soul and were poured onto the paper made for my own eyes. I didn't even show them to Mom,Dad, Spence and Sammy for fear that their meaning would disappear and lose its love. I always had the thought that the only person I wanted to see that song or listen to it was Demi and no one else.

I don't know what had made me gather up all my courage and sing my love song to Demi at her 19th birthday but man am I glad that I did cause I won the heart of the woman of my dreams. It was like a scene from a romantic movie that Sammy watches with the moonlight streaming down on us and the only background music was the chirping of the crickets. The scene didn't even matter to me, we could have been in the grimiest room ever it didn't matter cause all I saw was the beautiful woman who had her chocolate eyes focused solely on me and was tearing up. I was nervous cause Demi had the power to either let me down easy by saying that she is flattered by my attention but she only loves me as a older brother and best friend or to make my wildest dreams that I had thought were out of my reach for the past 4 years come true where I finally win the girl in the end and Demi and I have our happily ever after.

The next thing that happened blew my own dreams out of the water; Demi kissed me. I can't believe that Demi's lips touched mine, I could feel her minty, fresh and warm breath on my face and feel Demi pour every inch of her soul and heart into that one small token of affection cause i know that I was pouring every bit of myself into that kiss cause if I was dreaming or this is Demi trying to let me off easy then I wanted this moment to never end.

The earth moved under my feet, my head was spinning and I swear the neighbours could hear my beat beat clear out of my chest. I wanted to treasure this moment forever till I die. I felt like I had heaven in my arms that I never wanted to let go.

Ok I love my friends and Demi's sisters but seriously guys. Couldn't you have waited until Demi and I came inside and told you guys that your, mine and Demi's 4 year dream has finally come true so we can all celebrate with lots of good natured bantering, teasing, what is some friendly teasing between people who feel like family?, laughter and lots of hugs. Mostly them celebrating the fact that their matchmaking has finally panned out , yeah they totally weren't subtle at playing matchmaker for us.

But no they had to make us aware of the fact that they were watching Demi and mine's private, intimate, romantic and heaven on earth moment from Demi's kitchen window by cheering, whooping and calling "It is about time!". How immature are they?. Kidding, I love them very much and am just teasing them like they have been doing to me and Demi all the time but I knew that it is a normal "family" thing to do so I am not really mad

These past 4 years have been the best years of my life, I thought I was happy before, I mean who wouldn't be? I had a family who loves, adores and supports me no matter what I say or do, I had friends who were like my second family and I loved them like brothers and sisters and I had a good career doing what I love to do which is to entertain the audience by making them laugh or have the urge to sing along as I belt out songs that reaches the audiences' hearts and dares them to dance in their seats. What more could a young man want or need? Apparently God decided that I needed true love in my life.

Now that I have Demi in my life, I feel complete, like if I asked God for anything else I would insult him cause he has already given me everything I need to be completely fulfilled in my life. I feel like the Million Dollar Man that can bound over buildings, run as fast as a bullet and freeze time, I feel like I can pretty much do anything cause I know that whatever I say or do in my life, I will have Demi behind me smiling her beautiful smile with a warm and loving hug and kiss for encouragement, and all her support and love. I love having Demi's support, love and encouragement, it makes me feel all warm inside and want to try everything I ever thought was out of reach. Cause even if I fail miserabley, I know Demi will be proud of me for trying my hardest and will give me all the hugs and kisses I need to put a smile back on my face and a song in my soul.

I am thrilled to say that Demi and mine's love grew ever stronger and deeper, deeper then I ever thought love could go, Demi and I connected right to our souls, like we were one soul, heart and body, also known as soulmates. Who knew me, Sterling Sandman Knight could be so deep and thoughtful? My mom taught Spence and me that you need to be thoughtful and deep in order to have long lasting and deep relationships with the people most important to you.

Demi and I have been on cloud 9 with a song in our heart and souls that reach out to the other one, even when we are apart, our hearts communicate with the other like we are speaking telepathetically in our minds. i could talk about Demi for hours at a time, to the distain of our friends, my brother, sister and my fans, I loved to gush about the woman I love and the many reasons why i love her and I don't really care if people get bored of me talking about Demi.

My fans' comments about how "wrong" our relationship is because Demi isn't a "perfect" skin thin, fake, wannabe, easily manipulated young woman who has had some problems in her life aka her eating disorders, and bullying when she was younger like most people in our world didn't faze me. I liked knowing that the love of my life had the same problems as the young people she was coaching to have the best life possible, it made her more approachable and more down to earth cause Demi showed that everyone has problems and with the right amount of love and support from family, friends and trusted professionals you can get past life's challlenges.

The only point of views I cared about was Mom, Dad, Spence, Sammy, Dougie, Tiffers, Brand, Little Aly and of course me. And since everyone who I loved and cared for loved Demi as much as I did and knew that Demi and me were made for each other and made each other the happiest that we could ever be. Plus they knew that Demi and me had been in love for years and now that we got the chance to show ther world how much we love each other no one is gonna stop us from being in love. So I am afraid that the haters of Demi and mine's relationship will have to deal with Demi and I being in love.

I knew I loved Demi with all my heart and soul 4 years ago; I could tell that Demi and me would be one of the couples that would last forever when 2 years into dating Demi, I could picture myself marrying Demi and spending the rest of my life with her and the image of Demi and me being married didn't freak me out or make we want to run away. My nightly dreams either consisted of Demi and me kissing, cuddling and showing the world what true love looks like or the details of Demi and mine's wedding, from Demi's wedding dress, my tux, the bridesmaids' dresses and Demi's and mine from the heart vows that expressed every inch of Demi and mine's love for each other out loud to people other then just to each other.

I would be gazing lovingly into Demi's eyes the entire time while making little circles on the backs of our intertwined hands and wiping her tears away so I wouldn't be focusing on our guests, like always my entire focus would be on my bride's beautiful face as Demi's chocolate goodness would be focused on me and my eyes focused on her, us both communicating silently about how much we love each other and how we can't wait to spend the rest of our life together.

Another one of my favorite dreams was after the wedding about the wonderful, fulfilled life that Demi and I will have together that will be filled with lots of joy,fun times with family and friends, support, love for both Demi and me and wonderful achievements for both Demi and me, both personal and professional. I can see Demi and me with at least 3 kids who were the image of their mommy and me and both of us with successful careers that make us happy and feel like we are making a small difference in the world, me as a writer of cookbooks and a famous actor and Demi as a famous award winner musician and an award movie star as well as continuing to be role models for the younger generation.

I loved my dreams about Demi and me living our lives together as husband and wife so much that whenever my darn alarm would shriek waking me up from my lovely and life like dreams, I would beat up the alarm with my pillow and yell at it for interupting my lovely dreams so soon before I was ready for them to end. There has been a number of times when I have really gotten into my dreams that when I go to kiss Demi or hold her in my arms in the dreams, I fall onto the floor cause i was really kissing my pillow and it sliped off my bed along with me.

Since i wanted my nightly, oh who am I kidding my daily dreams, to come true as soon as possible, I decided then and there that I wanted to make Demi officially the woman i spend the rest of my life with aka Mrs Demi Knight. I must have looked like a total idiot standing there in the magazine aisle in Wal Mart looking at bridal magazine and daydreaming about Demi coming towards me in a gorgeous gown that only enhanced her beauty with her million dollar smile all ready to commit her life to mine. But oh well I was dreaming of what my bride would look like and how I wanted our wedding to be like so back off.

Next stop was the jewelry store cause if I wanted to make my dreams of Demi being my wife I needed to get her a beautiful ring to ask her the biggest question of my life. The saleslady, Kristie, was a perky young lady who practically followed me around the store chitchatting my ear off about how romantic and sweet I am for picking out a ring in order to make a committment to my girlfriend and about how Kristie wishes that her boyfriend of 6 years would finally get enough courage to propose cause a girl can only wait so long before she needs a more serious committment.

Ok Kristie seemed nice but I really didn't want to listen to another girl's life problems when i am trying to find the perfect ring. I looked at many rings, all very beautiful and sparkly but they just didn't scream "Demi" to me. I was looking for a ring that was not too big,not too small, sinple but not too simple that people will think I am cheap and I needed to be able to visualize the ring on Demi's finger for the rest of her life, become a part of the woman that I love.

I finally settled on a simple band with a reasonable size diamond that was engraved with the words "I will love you forever and always" which are my feelings for Demi expressed forever on a piece of jewelry, I never wanted Demi to forget how much i love her, not like she could cause I intend to show and tell Demi how much I love, aodre and worship her for the rest of our lives.

Now to figure out how to ask Demi to marry me in an unexpected, unsual but memorable way, a way that Demi and I can tell our kids about how daddy asked mommy to marry him. Hmm I guess I could propose to Demi backstage or even onstage during one of her concerts, in front of her millions of devoted and loving fans and family but even though I know that everyone would be thrilled for Demi and me and think it was romantic, I wanted it to be just Demi and me when I pop the quiestion cause that will make it 10x more romantic then with an audience.

I guess I could make Demi one of my famous meals that will blow her away, cause I know Demi loves my cooking and likes having a boyfriend who makes romantic meals for her, complete with soft music and candlelight setting the mood with Demi and I slowdancing when I go down on my knee to propose. But that didn't seem extreme and memorable enough, it seemed like a scene from a typical romantic movie.

I have got the most original idea ever; I will propose in Demi and mine's new house that we will live our lives together in. Now I need to find the perfect house, something not to big but not too small but just the right size for a couple just starting out in the lives. I would also love the house to be in a safe, close knit neighbourhood where everyone looks out for each other and who feel comfortable with their neighbours to invite them over for a barbeque and a chat on the front porch.

I went househunting by myself cause I didn't want anyone's opinion but mine, not that I don't appreciate and take to heart Mom, Dad and my soon to be in laws' opinion cause I do, I mean they have lived through more challenges and life then I have so they of course have words of wisdom that a young guy like me needs. But this house was going to be one of my many gifts for Demi and I wanted it to be something that I found all by myself.

Lucy, the realtor thought me trying to find a house for my fiancee and me to start our lives in was so romantic, She practically glomped onto me when I told her the reason I was househunting alone, exclaimed over and over again how happy she was for me and my fiancee and how honored she felt that she was part of this magical moment. The houses she brought me to were nice but there was always something not right about them for me and plus I just couldn't visualize Demi and me living in that house and making a life there.

I finally bought this really adorable, ok now I am starting to sound like Sammy, house with a beautiful view of the pristine beach with a gorgeous view of the ocean, with small gardens for some beautiful flowers that will be lovingly planted by both Demi and me to make our front lawn look nice and homey. Inside the rooms were big enough that you could easily move around in and put all the furniture needed to make the room look inviting to spend some time in.

The master bedroom had French doors that openned on the balcony that over looked the ocean. I could see Demi and I lounging out there drinking our coffee and toast as we watched the sunrise or even snuggling on the chairs watching a rain storm safe under the canopy. I fell in love with the house at first sight, like I did with Demi and look how that turned out, and more importantly I could see Demi and I making a life together in this house so I bought it. Now to phone Demi.

I phoned Demi and asked her to meet me at the house for a special date, what could be more special then proposing in our new house and surprising my love with the news?. That night I was a bundle of nerves, I wrote down everything i wanted to say and practiced it on Demi's picture that was taped to the mirror, my pillow and was held in my hand. All the times I got caught by either Mom, Dad, Spence and Sammy were super embarassing. But I wanted my proposal to be perfect and to go without a hitch and if it means that I am to be red faced in front of my family for awhile then so be it if it means I get to marry the woman of my dreams it will be so worth it.

Demi looked absolutely gorgeous, of course, in her white gown that reached to her ankles and with her hair in a braid over her shoulder she was my goddess, my princess and my angel. Sorry my mind went off in DemiDreamland for awhile, I always do that cause I think of Demi almost 24\7 . With a kiss and a "Hey Gorgeous", which I am always ready for and am willing to give whenever Demi asks, it was time for a tour of the house. I was so nervous, my palsm were filled with sweat, my heart was racing and my mind was racing trying to remember my speech. Hopefully Demi didn't notice my nervousness and asked questions.

When Demi and I got to the balcony I knew the time had come to man up and ask Demi to spend the rest of her life with me. I took her hand and poured out my heart about how much i have fallen in love with her over the years and how much she means to me; "I know that you are probably wondering if I have lost my mind bringing you to an empty house and taking you on a tour of it but i swear I have a good reason to do this. Demi, from the first moment I saw you I fell in love with you heart first and over the years I have fallen even more in love with you, I love every inch of you from your faults to your personality which brings people into your life and fall in love with you like I have.

These past years have been more then I could ever dream it could be; it was like I was in this magical place where I had found my soulmate in the last place I had ever thought possible and who loved me as much as I have dreamed about being loved by someone, a love that is forever and true like my parents's love. I love you Demetria Devone Lovato, heart and soul and you made my life even more complete and filled it with all the love, support and acceptance then I could ever ask for and for that I am entirely grateful."

Then I went on my knee to say the most important speech of my life, I saw Demi take a deep breath and the tears that had been building up in her chocolate eyes as I poured my heart out now began to fall, hopefully our hearts are connecting with each word I was saying. As I talked I pulled out the ring box to unleash the diamonds ring that hopefully will encircle Demi's ring finger for all enternity;"I want to spend the rest of my life showing and telling you how much I love you and how you have completed my life. Marry me Demi and i promise that I will spend the rest of my life making you feel as loved and happy as you have made me. I brought you to this house cause I wanted you to see the house that I hope will become the house that we build our own life and fullfil our dreams in. "

I didn't have to wait long for Demi's response, she threw herself into my arms with a loud "yes" and started to rain kisses all over my face, oh I am enjoying having my face smoothered with kisses and having my angel in my arms so I hope it never ends. I then pulled Demi up, put the ring on Demi's finger that I hope she never takes off and loves it as much I do then it was time for some hugging.

I love hugging Demi, having her in my arms is one of my favorite things to do to show Demi how much I love her, well also kissing, rubbing noses and holding hands but who is counting?. I whispered "I love you" multiple times in her ear which I am so glad that Demi reciprocated my love even though this is not the first time we exchanged "I Love You". I can't believe that I am an engaged man to the woman i have been dreaming about meeting the woman of my dreams, my soulmate and my life partner since I was a little guy and now that I have found her in Demi, I have never giving her up. I can't wait for mine and Demi's journey to true happiness and a fulfilled life filled with love, joy, laughter, true love.

Love at First Sniff

I feel sorry for those people who don't have a good relationship with their in laws, whether it be mother in law, brother in law or sister in law, meaning they fight about the smallest things or say things to the other that is taken out of context and to heart so they can't be in the same room with each other without tearing at each other's throats. I mean when an individual marries their spouses who they love very much, the saying " you are marrying into the family as well as getting a new spouse" is so true.

When I married Demi, I knew that there would be no way that I could seperate her from her family cause I know how important family is to Demi, it is one of the reasons why I fell in love with Demi. My heart melts whenever I saw Demi interact and being all lovey dovey with her family cause I am close to my family too and I would never want someone to seperate or say that in order to continue the relationship I could never speak or be around my family cause then the relationship would be over in an instant cause me and my family are a package deal just like with Demi and her family.

I am proud to say that I have a wonderful relationship with my in-laws though to be honest I have had a good relationship with my in laws since I met Demi and her family after the 1st table reading of SWAC when Mom Lovato, Maddie and Dallas had come to pick up Demi and I had followed Demi out to the car and introduced myself. Ok that might be a bit ackward after I had just meet Demi, introducing myself to her mom and sisters but I had fallen hard for Demi from the first sight of those chocolate doed eyes and million watt smile and each minute I was in the same room and interacting with Demi made me fall even more in love with her so I wanted to introduce myself to the people who are the most important to her cause I was planning to be in Demi's life, whether it be just as best friends or something more like say her future boyfriend :).

Mom , Dad Lovato, Dallas and Maddie made it so easy to like them and have a good relationship with them cause from the beginning the Lovatos have been warm and welcoming to me and the rest of our friends. From the beginning they have made me feel like a part of the family, I have been invited to their family cottege, dinners and events which means I have meet the entire family on both sides even before Demi and I started dating. I need all the glimpses into Demi's personal life and see another layer of the woman that each day I was falling even more in love with.

There was never any ackward moments between the Lovatics and me, I always felt that whenever I needed some guidence from someone and I couldn't reach my parents I could go to Mrs or Mr Lovato which is kind of ironic since most of my questions were about how to woo their daughter and the best and effective way to show Demi how much I truly and honestly love her.

I feel like Maddie and Dallas were my older and younger sister, I mean we could joke around. play fight, hang out and talk about radnom stuff just like I could do with Spence and Sammy. I mean who wouldn't love Maddie and Dallas?. They are both sweet, caring, slightly goofy but in a way where you have to smile and laugh with them and down to earth young woman and I liked them from our first meeting. What can I can Mr and Mrs Lovato raise wonderful daughters? :D. I have a problem introducing them as my sisters in law cause I call them my sisters to people and then when I get blank looks or the "I thought you only had one sister?" look I have to explain that Maddie and Dallas are actually my sister in laws.

Thank God I am not the only one who gets along with my new in laws. My whole family has become fast and deep friends with the Lovatos, our moms always exchange recipes and "motherly advice" and our dads give each other fixing it advice, which never works out for them cause they both can't fix anything and I can say that honestly because neither can Spence and me. Spence and Maddie act like siblings also, Spence is always joking that if anyone, whether they be a boy,girl or random people online messes with his "little" sister, they will have him and me as well as her older sisters, my Dem Dem and Dallas, to deal with.

So when Demi and I got married, we joined our two families together. So through marriage I gained another maternal and paternal role model, another married couple that me and Demi can look at about how a marriage is suppose to be, filled with lots of love, support and caring from both parties through good and bad times and being a best friend, confident and #1 support system for each other, to base our own marriage on. I also got two new sisters, well ok sister in laws but I have already explained why I drop the in law part when talking about Maddie and Dallas. And I am thrilled aobut my new family as well as the fact that I married and will be spending the rest of my life with the woman of my dream, Mrs Demi Knight.

I bought Demi and mine's house without anyone but mine's opinion cause I wanted the house to be a surprise for my new fiancee when I brought Demi to the house to propose. I know I should have brought my mom or dad to go househunting with me but I wanted to go into a house and see if I could feel the connection to the house or can see myself and Demi raising a family and sharing our life together in this house then I would know in my heart of hearts that this is the right house to buy. I didn't really want to have anyone buzzing in my ear about what they thought of the houses I was seeing, the only opinion I cared about was Demi.

Demi and I moved in about a month ago and ever since then we both have been working our butts off to make our new house as homey, comfy and warm as possible. Ok so our friends and family have been wonderful and been helping us as much as they can; helping us move in and giving us the furniture that they have outgrown or have no more use for to furnish our house. But I feel that in order to help our house become more like a home, Demi and I needed a little puppy dog for companionship and for practice for children that hopefully one day Demi and I will welcome with open hearts and arms.

Maddie, Spence and I had already made plans to spend the day together so since we were already going to the mall to hang out, I thought a little trip to the local SPCA would be no problem. They could help me pick the newest furriest member of our family, since Maddie had helped Mom Lovato and Demi to pick out Oliver and Bella and those little furballs are adorable, friendly and lovable little doggies so Maddie has good taste in puppies which I needed.

I also wanted to save a poor defenseless animal who was sent to the SPCA because their family moved, or they were born unwanted because their family didn't have enough money to spade and neuter their pets. What can I say I am a sucker for big puppy dog eyes and a sad face that just screams "What did I do to the people I adore and love to get into this awful place? Whatever it is I am sorry. Now can I go home?". I mean I can't even resist Demi's puppy dog pout and eyes, whenever I see it I crumble and melt like a cookie and do and say anything to make that sad look come off my sweetheart's face. It is much worse on an adorable puppy.

After an hour and a half of walking around the mall, going into stores such as music stores where Maddie and I shared headphones, I was on my knees to get onto her level,while listening to the Glee Soundtrack and mouthing the words to each other since it wasn't appropriate to sing out loud in a store. Then it was time for some clothes shooping for Maddie, Spence and according to Maddie for me cause apparently I needed new clothes. Sweetie I love you but I think I can tell what looks good on me and what doesn't and I really don't feel like being your fashion doll.

After only getting one new shirt and pants after Maddie telling me that "it made my eyes pop", we all breaked for lunch, I got Cesar Salad and meat lovers pizza, Maddie got a meatball sub and Spence got a 2 decker hamburger and fries and yes we had some "OMG we have a celeb in the house" looks from the other patrons and servers but I just went about my business cause today i was just a normal guy hanging out with his brother and sister in law.

The trip to the SPCA was funny and very entertaining. Spence, Maddie and me didn't go right to the doggies but we all went to different kind of animals, Maddie went to the rodents, Spence reptiles and me the puddycats The puddycats were so small, fuzzy and adorable. They were like little balls of fur jumping and pouncing on either their siblings or invisible attackers, too bad I didn't want a kitty. I wanted a pet that I could play with, cuddle with, talk to like they could actually understand me and be one of my best friends, well besides Demi of course. Cats are so anti-social, they only need affection when it is right for them, they really aren't much fun to have around cause if they aren't happy then it is scratchy time. So the kitties are cute but not for me.

After I was finished watching the kitties play fight each other, I went to find my siblings. I found Spence enthralled with a Komodo dragon, oh sure dude fall in love with the reptile but don't expect mom to let you have one cause there is no way mom would allow a slimy thing in her house. I like reptiles but they are also kind of boring as there is really nothing you can do with them cause you can't play with them. So there is no way I am buying one for Demi and me.

Maddie was over by the little rodents, like mice, hamsters and rabbits. I have to admit that they were adorable with their little furry bodies, beady eyes, little whiskers and little feet that tickle your palms as you hold them in your hands. But once again they really didn't do anything except rats and hamsters do run on their little wheels but that is boring to watch over and over again. So once again oh uh on small rodents.

Finally with all the troops assembled, it was time to go looking for small,lovable, adorable ,sweet little balls of fur and a man and woman's best friend. I knew that there would be a lot of puppies to choose from but I never knew there was so many. There were many different colors and sizes of little furballs and all were squirming, yapping, clambering over each other, play fighting and trying to get as much food as they possibley could before it is gobbled up by their siblings.

I wasn't looking for any particular breed of dogs, I didn't want a huge dog, I want a dog that fits nicely in my lap to cuddle on nights when Demi and I are snuggling together either in bed or on the couch either watching TV, reading books or our scripts. I also don't want a dog that would leave a big pile of fur around the house cause then the vaccuum will have to be brought out daily to make sure our house is fur free. I also didn't want a dog that barks all night long keeping Demi, me and the neighbours up or bark whenever someone walks past our backyard gate cause that won't be cute. I also wanted a dog that was friendly to everyone they met and be easy to train cause if not then stress time is coming to me and Demi when training and that is never good. Lastly I don't want to make Demi and me doggy grandparents cause even if Demi and I can afford it, I don't want a litter of puppies in our house, so the puppy has to be neutred or sprayed.

Spence, Maddie and me went to like 10 cages picking up adorable rolypoles puppies of every breed, gender and most of them had all the qualities I was looking for but somehow they just didn't feel like they were the right dog for me and I trust my instinct, hey it lead me to falling in love with Demi and ended up marrying her so why not trust it now?

So with one final kiss and snuggle, the puppies had to be put back into their crates, no matter how bad I felt having to put those lovable little doggies back into their cages and lock them from the outside world when they deserved to be out in the sunshine running like mad in the fresh air with lots of hugs as a reward of being the puppies they were. Thank god that the shelter wasn't one where they kill the innocent animals 24 hours after recieivng them, that made me feel hopeful that all the animals in this shelter would find their own families who will love and take good care of them.

I went to open the door to the next cage and my hand was instantly smothered with tiny, rapid fire licks on my hand. I scooped up this little bundle of curly black fur with little black button eyes and a button nose, I could just feel this little one saying "I just met you and I already love you" which melted my heart. It melted even more as i cuddled her in my arms, she cuddled as close to me as she could, her little body pressed deep into my body, and looked up at me with all the love, trust and adoration I have ever seen, she had just met me but already she trusts me to handle her carefully.

The puppy and I had a staring contest, we were looking deep into each other's eyes like we were both reading each other's minds and hearts to see if we were compactible as Spence and Maddie read off her information. Good, she has all her shots, been dewormed, she's healthy and was netured. Even better the staff wrote that she was very friendly, young enough to teach manners properly and has a good temperment. Since I felt a connection to this little lady right off the bat, I think I have found my new little friend. Congrats little lady, you have found a family.

After only paying $20 for the puppy which also got us a small bag of food, a bed and a leash, we left with the puppy. The puppy seemed to know that she finally was being adopted and had a new family cause she was dancing in my arms, baby barking (small little barks) and trying her little hardest to lick my face as we walked to the car. Spence drove while the little cutie half sat and half danced in my lap, looked out the window at the passing scenere and licked my hand like crazy. I think she was thanking me for adopting her, giving her a family and wanted me to know how grateful she is. You are welcome sweetie. Demi is going to love you so much, she is a sucker for little things whether they be animals or people and one look into those big brown eyes and she is going to fall as much in love with you as I did when I first laid eyes on Demi's big chocolate eyes. I can't wait to show Demi her surprise.

I surprised Demi with the puppy that night. I put the puppy in a gift box ,with holes of course, with a pink bow and told Demi to close her eyes for a surprise cause I told her that I had gotten her something at the store on my siblings day. Ok sweetheart I know you from the heart and soul but why on earth would you trust me to pick you out a pice of clothing like a dress or even jewelry like a necklace? I am not that good at that kind of things honey but I am honored that you trust me with your style.

When Demi closed her eyes, I brought out the box and put it in her lap and told her to open her eyes and open the box. Demi's reaction was priceless and the reason why I love giving people surprises; her eyes and mouth went wide, she looked at me like "You got me a puppy?!" with disbelief in her eyes then with a squeal of delight and cooing about how precious, adorable and how much she loves the puppy already Demi picked up the puppy. Demi cuddled the puppy close and rained little kisses on the top of her head, lucky little girl (I love Demi's cuddles and kisses, heck any form of affection and love Demi gives to me I adore, treasure and love so much that I will do anything I can to recieve these treasures).

I think it was love at first sight for both girls cause the puppy was licking Demi's face and hands like a little winshield wiper and kept looking at Demi with the same love-adoration-complete trust look she looked at me when I first held her. For the next couple of minutes all that could be heard was Demi cooing and speaking in calm, loving, baby-talking tones to the puppy and the puppy whinning as she tried to get as close to her new owner as she could and the slurp on her tongue kissing my wife's checks and neck.

Then it was like she remembered that her loving husband who had bought her newest little friend was still in the room so suddenly Demi launched herself, puppy and all, into my arms and rained her own sweet, loving, tender and joyful kisses all over my face while saying "Thank you" over and over again. Hm I should do more sweet and romantic things for Demi so that I can get more kisses and have my sweetheart in my arms more often.

Then as we watched TV, we brainstormed names for our little puppy but none seemed to fit her personality. I can see why new parents have such a hard time coming up with names for their little miracles and spend hours pouring over baby name books searching for the most perfect name for their child. Demi and I didn't have the luxury of having baby name books so we were searching our brains for the name. We finally both agreed on the name Gracie cause we heard that name on TV for an adorable baby girl and we loved it instantly. So welcome to the Knight Family Ms Gracie Knight. Family hug!

Our New Life

I knew that Sterling was an one of a kind guy, I mean I don't know that many guys or had any ex-boyfriends of mine who were as sweet, sensitive, caring, in touch with my every emotion, wants and needs so that he is prepared to be the shoulder I can cry on, a listening ear, have sweet and caring words of encouragement and comfort or have a warm, loving hug without me having to tell him how I am feeling. Sterling is also the most romantic and supportive person ever; anything I do whether it be get nominated for an award or get over a million followers on Twitter gets me a supportive text about how proud he is of me, as a person and as an entertainer, and how much he loves me.

From the first moment i laid eyes on Mr Sterling Knight at the first table read of "Sonny with a Chance", i thought he was one of the most drop dead gorgeous man I had ever met with his sky blue eyes that draw you into them to discover all his big heart has inside and golden blonde hair that just reflects any light that shines on it and makes you go blind with its shineness plus it just begs you to play with it and breathe in its Irish breeze scent. I vaguely remember saying actual sentences when i was introuduced to Sterling by Mathew the director but I am pretty sure that I was starstruck by Sterling and probably followed him around like a pathetic lovesick puppy.

Good thing Sterling was and totally is a total sweetie so he didn't seem to mind me hanging on his every word and asking him for advice since he had been on TV longer then me. As I got to know him, I fell even more in love with him, he was not only a beautiful person on the outside but also the inside, in short he was the man i had dreamed about meeting since I was a little girl.

Sterling quickly became one of my best friends, we hung out every chance we got both outside and inside the studio and in between takes, whenever we were together it was like we were picking up where we had left off since the last time we spoke, even if we hadn't seen each other for a couple of days according to our set schedules. Being together felt so natural like we could be ourselves fully, no pretenses or fakeness, just the real Demi and Sterling.

I looked so forward to the moments when it was just Sterling and me, it was like a little piece of heaven on earth and a bright moment of my life. When I came home from hanging out with Sterling, I supposely had a perma grin on my face, my whole face lighted up like I had swallowed a flashlight and it is glowing from within and I couldn't stop gushing about how wonderful my time with Sterling was and what a sweetie he was, well according to my mom, Dallas and Maddie.

Even though I was growing even deeper in love with Sterling with each day, I thought that Sterling only loved me as a younger sister and a best friend. Plus there was no way he could ever love someone as insignificant and small as me so why bother keep fooling my heart into thinking the man I love would ever love me back. That is why i dated the guys I did and for the most part they were fine, I mean yes they cheated on me in the end and the last one was a total and complete jerkward who didn't help my self esteem but in the end, no relationship could ever measure to a relationship I know i could have had with the man of my dreams, Mr Sterling Knight.

My heart would break into a million little pieces when Sterling would tell me about the girl he was dating cause it meant that I had lost my chance of true love and knowing true happiness in my life. I regretted not telling Sterling how much I loved him the many chances I had and wasted that time not going towards true love. I wanted Sterling to be happy and feel as much love as he could cause he deserved to have love in his life but i knew that I would be the best woman for him. I have all the love and support he could ever want in his life and I believe I am the best woman for him.

I still can't believe that on my 19th birthday Sterling write me such a romantic, sweet and from the heart song and sang it to me under the stars with the the fireflies as our only audience or so we thought. It was like a scene from one of the romantic movies I love watching. My eyes locked onto Sterling's baby blues as he poured out his heart and soul to me to either crush under my shoe by I saying that I only loved him like a brother or I make both of our dreams come true by saying that I love him too.

What girl haven't dreamed of having a handsome, sweet and romantic guy write a song designed especially for you that drips of his love for you and sings it to you in your backyard? I know I thought it was one of the sweetest, most romantic gestures a guy has ever done for me and I couldn't help but tear up; I am surprised that my mascara didn't run giving me racoon eyes from all the crying I did at knowing the fact that the man I had been in love with for 4 years loves me just as much as i love him and how he had done it so romantic and sweet.

Then I felt heaven on Earth when we kissed. I felt the Earth move from underneath me, sparks flew betwen Sterling and mine's lips, time stop and bells ring in my head just like any romantic movie heroine would say when they kissed the man they are destined to be together with. I forgot that I was in the backyard of my house cause I felt like I was floating over the Earth looking down at Sterling and me kissing.

My face did go red including my ears when our loving friends and Maddie interupted our special moment by catcalling and cheering like idiots, mind you idiots that both me and Sterling love, adore and who have been playing matchmaker for both me and Sterling for 4 years now and who were thrilled that finally the couple they always thought made the perfect couple got together. But seriously guys could you not have celebrated quietly in the house then acted surprised when Sterling and I announced us dating and finally telling the other of our love. Is that too much to ask?

Sterling and I have been dating for about 4 years now and yet it seems like it was only yesterday that we started to date. I thought I was happy enough with expressing my thoughts and emotions through song, hanging out with my truest and loyal friends, giving as much advice and myself to my loyal, devoted and supportive fans and of course my loving and supportive family. But when I started dating Sterling, I felt like I had climbed the highest mountain with limited air, I travelled around the world in a hot air balloon and that I can do anything and be anyone I want to be cause I know that whatever I did, Sterling would be right behind me supporting and loving me no matter what I said or did cause I knew he loves me for myself and won't try to change me.

And according to our loving family and friends Sterling and I have perma grins on our faces and are floating on air during the last 4 years and throughout those years as our relationship went from young love to mature, long lasting love. Our love only grew stronger even through the challenges life brought us, like the media trying to tear our relationship apart with their lies and made up rumors and the fans of both Sterling and I tweeting us about how "wrong" our relationship is because of our 3 year age difference and because I am "damaged". Mostly they tell us that our relationship will never last and that we are just fooling ourselves and the other person with this "fake" relationship and that we are only hurting ourselves and each other if we continue this charade.

Sorry you guys don't think Sterling and i are made for each other and soulmates but Sterling and I do think that and we are madly in love so please just be happy for us and let us continue living our love's dream with minimum drama. Over the years I have fallen even more in love with Sterling, so much that whenever a talk show would mention Sterling I would smile and couldn't help but gush about him, it seems Sterling had the same problem when someone asked about me and our relationship.

Even at the topic of marriage and kids didn't scare me, it gave me a thrilling and exciting shiver in my tummy whenever I thought of being able to spend the rest of my life beside Sterling, loving him, supporting him and going through my life side by side as husband and wife. I even started to daydream about Sterling and mine's wedding day, going through every detail of the day from my dress, the bridesmaids' dresess and even my vows, and even what a typical day of Sterling and mine's day complete with children and Sterling and me being successful being of society, me as an award winning movie star\ top selling musician and Sterling as an Emmy winning actor and writer of at least 3 cookbooks of his delicious meals. And the daydreams didn't scare me at all, I actually got mad that I had to wake up and not be able to finish my lovely dreams.

I didn't even batt an eye when Sterling asked me to come to a secret location for our date night, though I was thinking "Why am I at this adorable little Malibu Beach house near the beautiful blue green sea?" because I assumed that Sterling had a good reason to be in this house that probably belonged to a sweet couple and I just hoped we weren't intruding on anyone's property. Sterling met me at the front door with a hug, kiss and a "hello there gorgoeus".

The house was empty, there was no furniture or anything in there so who the heck owned this house and more importantly why were we here? Sterling waved my questions away saying all questions will be answered shortly but first a tour of the house. The house was even more gorgeous on the inside then the outside though the small gardens on either side of the front door and the lush green grass that make up a reasonable size front lawn made the house really inviting to come into.

The house was reasonable sized for a couple just starting out in life and their marriage, it had a good size living room, dinning room, kitchen (with all its appliences in there) and my favorite feauture, in the master bedroom behind french doors was a belcony that gave the most beautiful view of sparkling clear water, pristine beaches and where you also get a beautiful view of a sunset or sunrise.

While Sterling and I were on the balcony, he took my hand and said "I know that you are probably wondering if I have lost my mind bringing you to an empty house and taking you on a tour of it but i swear I have a good reason to do this. Demi, from the first moment I saw you I fell in love with you heart first and over the years I have fallen even more in love with you, I love every inch of you from your faults to your personality which brings people into your life and fall in love with you like I have.

These past years have been more then I could ever dream it could be; it was like I was in this magical place where I had found my soulmate in the last place I had ever thought possible and who loved me as much as I have dreamed about being loved by someone, a love that is forever and true like my parents's love. I love you Demetria Devone Lovato, heart and soul and you made my life even more complete and filled it with all the love, support and acceptance then I could ever ask for and for that I am entirley grateful."

Sterling went down on his knee and my heart stopped beating for a moment then leaped and raced at the possibility of what Sterling's actions could mean. Do I dare pray that Sterling was going to propose to me? Please let me not be dreaming. Sterling took out a small velvet box that opened to show the most gorgeous diamond ring and then took my hand.

"I want to spend the rest of my life showing and telling you how much I love you and how you have completed my life. Marry me Demi and i promise that I will spend the rest of my life making you feel as loved and happy as you have made me. I brought you to this house cause I wanted you to see the house that I hope will become the house that we build our own life and fullfil our dreams in. "

Sterling didn't have to wait too long for my answer as I screamed "Yes!" and threw myself into his arms raining kisses onto his face which after he was able to pinpoint my mouth he gladly returned. Then he pulled us both up and put the beautiful ring onto my finger then we hugged as he whispered in my ear "I love you" over and over again which of course I returned. I can't believe that I am actually an engaged woman to the man of my dreams. If I am dreaming, please don't wake me up cause I am loving this dream. I also can't believe that this is the house that Sterling and mine's life will begin with our own memories, journeys and where our love will flourish even more everyday. I can't wait for that journey to begin
