Fall news, winter dreaming

Thanksgiving this year was a very pleasent experience.  Dad and I had it with Sherry and her family.  Lots of food, lots of laughs!  Almost like the ones we used to have as I was growing up.  Ahh childhood, when times were relativly simpler. What I mean by this is that when we are kids, it was tough being stuck at the kiddie table, not being able to help in a way that you wanted to, those kinds of things.  Now, more responsibility, bills, work, families of our own, and the like.  Tho I do long for simpler times, I really wouldn't trade how my life is now.  I have friends that I love, family that I actually enjoy spending time with, and a new man in my life. 

Its been almost 10 days since Justin and I have seen each other.  Thats ok tho.  It will make the next time we see each other much more special. :)  Which is actually this Sunday.  So I am very excited! 

Today, my ex Tim came to the store with a piece of pipe from his furnace.  Dang, really wished I'd gotten a picture of this pipe...rusted out.  Explains a lot of the issues he's had with the thing.  I feel for the guy cuz its his only source of heat and Megan is going to be there tomorrow.  Good thing he has the stove now in the shop so hopefully he'll have something to keep warm. Sheesh... This pipe had to have been original to the mobile.

The weather lately has been that of fall.  Its the end of November..  Come on! I want winter already!!  Bring me snow!  I want to play in that cold fun white stuff!!

Stepping out back into the world!

Well, it has been an interesting week!!

First off, I rejoined the dating world with my first date in 4 years on Sunday. Date turned out wonderfully! I was so incredibly nervous, but as it turned out, there really was no need! Justin is a one of a kind guy. Treated me like a princess. He picked me up, opened doors, made me laugh, and listened to me as I babbled! Lol! We spent just hours talking and laughing. We had made plans to go out again when we both weren’t busy. 

Now onto Thursday.  Justin caught me off guard a bit by asking me what I was doing that night.  Was kinda weird since I figured that since we were both busy for about a week that we wouldn't see each other till after Thanksgiving.  Well he told me he had traded his Sunday/Monday days off so he could have Thursday.  We had our second date.

And it too was wonderful.  He met my mom and the three of us had dinner then we came back to my place.  We spent the next few hours just hanging out, cuddling and talking. It was a wonderful time.

He is an amazing person who treats me so incredibly well!  I had almost forgotten what it was like to be truly wanted by another person! 

Now something funny..we had been talking of our exes, yeah I know, not an extremely great choice of topics but it did come up.  Then the most random of things happened today.  Tim texted me.  First communication we'd had in almost 2 months.  It was all innocent and what not, asking me about stove pipe. (he's installing a stove in his shop.)  Then he came in and for me, it was kinda awkward...we hadn't seen each other in 2 months, then he followed me down an aisle to where I was showing a customer that we both know well if we had something that was supposed to have been ordered for him.  He then came back later in the day, with Megan.  It was nice to see her, and him too to a degree.  I was wondering how things would be since we'd split.  Glad it went off well enough. 

Ahh, but still the best part of my day was getting to talk to Justin... he just makes me feel completely, utterly happy!! :)
