VDay Recap + This Morning
So:
St. Valentine's day was the best I have ever had. Normally I hate the day, but not anymore! Krystal made it super special for me.
It started off with a bad day at work, but here's what went down after work:
I went home and gave my Mother, Sister and Father each a rose, they loved them. Took my shower, shaved, etc, and then headed out for Krystal's. I got there, and to my surprise, Tiffany and Krystal were plotting something and giggling about it... This made me nervous. So I went and gave each of Krystal's sisters a rose, and her mother one as well. I sent a dozen white roses for Krystal, which she received before I got there, and loved.
So Krystal decided to give me her gift. Covering my eyes, she lead me to her room. Upon opening them the first time, Tiffany jumped at me and scared any and all demons out of me lol. I beleive my heart rate was upwards of 120 at that point. So Upon finally seeing my gifts, I almost cried. But I didn't because Tiff was there.
Krystal gave me a rose with a black ribbon (Phantom of the Opera style), a box with little trinkets inside, and then a scrapboook. Upon opening the scrapbook, I really wanted to cry. Krystal had taken an earlier conversation of ours, and summarized it into a beautiful sentence with a picture of a cross. I won't go in to detail for the sake of privacy, but it was gorgeous. Her idea behind it is to start a scrapbook together. I absolutely love the idea. <3<3<3 It means so much to me.
She has given me back my faith and dreams, and now among those, she has given myself back. I feel like myself. I feel this huge burden of those unspoken years lifted off my shoulders. And I hope I helped with her burden which is similar.
We went to dinner at Ashley's in Rockledge. Great food, but it took an hour and a half to get our entree. So we got it in to-go boxes, since we had to go to dance shortly. Went to dance, and I got to see the most beautiful sight: Krystal doing something she loves. The look on her face while she was dancing made me want to cry. She was so happy for that time. It was awesome to see, and I was deeply honored by her allowing me to see her dance. I can't thank her enough for opening up to me, and for allowing me to open up to her, which I have never done with anyone else at all...
After dance and a short phonecall to double check time-frames, we headed to the moonlit beach to give her my gifts.
On the beach, I gave her the Jewelery box. She took it out of the paper box, and noticed it read "Krystal" on top of it. After commenting about that, she opened it up. Inside; a small jewelery case. Upon opening that, she found her custom ordered Tanzanite earrings. Each earring is weighted at one karat, set in fourteen karat white gold. She loved them! I told her about the necklace as well, and she can't wait to get that later today. I had to make a final adjustment on the necklace, but it should be done today. I am really happy she liked it. I was worried she wouldn't. I also told her about the ability to "add" on to the set, when she is ready.
After a good hour on the beach of talking and being our romantic, crazy selfs, we headed back to her house. We sang on the way home, while I held her hand teaching her how to shift. It was cute and awesome, and totally romantic. We talked in the car for a bit and she read my card. I think she liked it. After conversing about the card, we went inside. She then gave me a note.
When I read this note, I had to stop and try not to cry. She's good at making me cry lol, in a good way though! The note thanked me for everything, and complimented me, which is something I have never been told. She used words like "Handsome" and "Kind-hearted." The kind of words I never expected to hear. The note means so much to me. It is from her heart, and she is the first girl I've dated that actually cares about me.
Krystal: I love the gifts, and everything you do for me. They all mean so much to me. I read your note four times before I went to bed (after eating my lovely chicken from Ashley's lol) and I cried too. I can't ever thank you enough... You've done so much for me, and it's only been a month! lol. How crazy is that? I don't think if we went back to tell our younger selves so many years ago that we would be dating, that we would believe us. I'm so glad we are though. You make me so happy. I haven't been this happy in years! And I hope I can make you happy everyday with something. Anything to see you smile. God has blessed me, and I thank him everyday for you.
My St. Valentine's day was awesome! I hope hers was as well.
Tonight is the True Love Waits Ceremony. I was nervous, but with the recent events and writing the poems, I am not anymore. It is time for both of us to let go of our past and guilt, and time to start anew.
So I will write more about that later.
This Morning: I witnessed an accident right in front of me. I am still shaking from it. If I hadn't been in such a good mood, I would have been involved in it. I was singing this morning and when I sing in the mornings, I find that I drive slower. But if I hadnt been, well...
My initial reaction was to shut off my car and check the other drivers. I did this, and I had to rip open one of the driver's doors. I actually pulled it off the hinges, kinda in a panic rage attack. The driver had hit his head and was unconscious. He was bleeding on his forehead, and his knee was bleeding. I checked his eyes, neck, etc and determined that he had blackedout. I opened his shirt to ensure that his chest was okay and his heart rate, etc. The other driver had gotten out of his truck and was just shaking. This one though, not so lucky. This man had to weigh about twohundred and fifty pounds. After talking to the EMT on the phone, we had determined that it would be best for me to lay him down and to ensure there was no other bleeding. Thank God I had medical training to some extent lol. I was able to keep him awake until the EMT got to the scene. I checked all the other drivers/passangers and they were okay. There was a truck stopped, and the other truck with the trailer didn't stop and slammed into him at about sixty mph. This slammed the first truck into a white car in front of him. I was behind the trailer and I saw him swerve and I slammed on my breaks and pulled my e-brake to stop. It scared me big time. Had it been a dull morning, I would have been traveling closer and faster, and would not have stopped in time.
Thank God we are all okay though. The one guy who was injured, Steven, thanked me a lot before they took him to the hospital. The paramedics and highway patrol were thanking me for remaining calm and ensuring traffic was ok, etc till they got there. The two girls in the white car were thanking me. It was awesome, but I could have done without it. I'm just glad God let me be there, safely and able to help the others. I know what I will be praying about tonight at church.
God Bless everyone. Life is precious, so live for the moment!
Below is my song for the day. With the ceremony tonight and the events last night and this morning, it is a very important song to me today. This is what life is about. I've written my own lyrics to this song, but for now, here is the original lyrics:
~Josh
Today's Song: Jekyll & Hyde Gothic Musical Concept Cast (OCR) - This is the Moment:
This is the moment, this is the day,
When I send all my doubts, and demons on their way
Every endeavour, I have made ever
Is coming into play, is here and now today...
This is the moment, this is the time,
When the momentum and the moment are in rhyme
Give me this moment, this precious chance
I'll gather up my past and make some sense at last!
This is the moment, When all I've done
All of the dreaming, scheming and screaming become one
This is the day, see it sparkle and shine,
When all I've lived for, becomes mine!
For all these years, I've faced the world alone
And now the time has come to prove to them I've made it, on my own
This is the moment, my final test
Destiny beckoned, I never reckoned second best
I won't look down, I must not fall
This is the moment, The sweetest moment of them all
This is the moment, Damn all the odds!!
This day or never, I'll sit forever with the Gods
When I look back, I will always recall
Moment for moment, this was the moment,
The greatest moment of them all!!
