Before I go to bed...

Alright, I'm back. Now, to fill you in on all of my juicy gossip from the past week.

After a year of dating the man I thought I was going to marry he and I have decided that it would just be best for us to take a step back and just be friends. Ouch. I am finally to the point now where I can think about it without bawling my eyes out. He's a realtor by profession and he simply doesn't have time for a romantic relationship right now. So I guess you could say that it was a friendly breakup. He and I are still very much in love but he wants me to go out and have fun. He says that he feels guilty because he can't give me what I need right now. Blah. Did I also mention that he's 41 and I'm 21? We are in two different worlds right now. I'll have to tell you more about him later. You'll be tripped out.

But you know, I have a feeling that everything happens for a reason and you should be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. A couple of days before the breakup (mentioned above) I met a handsome stranger while I was out of town on vacation. Our paths literally crossed in the lobby of the resort that we were staying in in Reno, Nevada. (the Grand Sierras Resort. It's a really beautiful place. You should check it out.) I saw him a couple more times after our initial encounter and he kept staring at me...

The next day he saw me again and he finally got up the courage to approach me to say "I just wanted to let you know that you are THE most gorgeous woman that I have ever seen in my life". Since that little sentence our relationship has flourished and now he is coming all the way from California to the West Virginia just to spend 2 days with me! (this is the really condensed version. For all you romantics out there I will post the full story of our meeting and first date in the very near future)

Right now it is getting very late and I have to get to bed. I have an early morning tomorrow and I want to get some sleep.

Goodnight. Hopefully I'll see you sometime tomorrow.
