ok so i never update this thing... partly because i have a complex that nobody but leah reads it... anyhoo. i feel the need to share.
so there's this boy. i've known him for three-plus years. we've stayed in contact throughout the single life, through relationships with other people, and been there for each other when those relationships fell apart. in a lot of ways, we've been a long time coming.
after "hanging out" since december, we made it official last month. if the first month of our relationship is any indication, he's the best thing that's ever happened to my love life.
he knows laura from back in the day... she meant to introduce us, thought we'd be perfect for each other. funny.
he told me immediately post-getting-w/-dan two years ago that it didn't matter because he'd wait for me. i scoffed at him, told him he'd be waiting a long time. he said it didn't matter. he did wait a long time. but ended up he was right all along.
did i mention that he bought me the new white stripes CD and delivered it to my work last night? he knew i had no time to buy it because i'd been working all day and knew how badly i wanted to buy it on opening day... he showed up bearing the CD and a ginger-peach iced tea from his work (my favorite, it's delicious). he crashed at my place last night and walked me to my car this morning. "i'm gonna ride w/ u," he said, "and take your car to get detailed while you're at work."
precious.
it's amazing to not be the only thoughtful person in a relationship.
did i mention that he really enjoys taking make-out pictures? fun times.
