How sweet it is.............

To all that have never been in love.........

I have quite the story to tell, and it all starts like this:

the week before Christmas, I was at work in Old Navy.....and I met this customer that my manager was talking to, I thought he was a cutie, but I ended up not doing anything about thinking that it would happen if it was meant to be.

So, I got a phone message on my answering machine....from a very mysterious voice....that I didn't recognize, so I looked on my caller ID and noticed the name of the guy I had spoken with at work earlier. The message he left was the usual, "Just calling to see what you were doing, you can give me a call back if you want to..." So I waited a day, not wanting to seem to anxious.....and I called him back. I told him that my friends and I were going to go eat and that he should come along, however he got the message I left for him after he had made something to eat.

Oh, yeah, maybe I should tell you his name: Brian.

So, we hung out for a few nights and to be completely honest.....I didn't think it was gonna work, I was feeling a little smothered, but it ended up being just me. So, pretty soon it was New Years and I wanted to make sure to give him a kiss that night, to make sure I started the year off right, so I called him amidst my drunkenness......and he came to my side with the manager who introduced us.....I remember that night was an interesting one, and I loved every minute of it.

So since then, a lot of things have happened, he left for a week to visit his family in California....(yeah, not too far from you ADAM!!!) and we've been through some things, good and bad both, but I am overwhelmingly grateful that we have ALWAYS been able to talk and be open with each other.

The night he came back from CA, he stayed at my house, that was like 3 or 4 weeks ago (Jan. 16) and we haven't been apart but 2 or 3 nights since then, it's been one hell of a ride so far, and the coaster hasn't really made it up the hill yet. I can barely sleep on my own now, it's completely pathetic, I know and I can bet how much crap I am gonna get for this.......

So, it's Feb 11 and Brian is leaving tomorrow to spend yet another whole week in CA for his grandfather's funeral.....the kid has been through some unbelievable tests lately, and I am just a small fraction of the support and love he has surrounding him. He thinks I give a lot of support and love. I will miss him of course, and I will be counting the hours til he returns......

On to the bragging part.........so, in three days, is the cheesiest lovey dovey holiday of the year, and I was surprised to get my gift last night, a little square box from a jewelry store.....no!, not that you goofs!!......it is a delicate heart shaped necklace with a diamond in the middle, and all of you will agree that it fits me to a T.....I was overwhelmed with joy and happiness all at the same time.....it's the best Valentines Day I've ever had.......so far ;)

Anyways, I just thought that I'd tell all you wonderful people about my wonderful boyfriend.....I'll keep you all updated......

love you all,
Melanie
