Wow.
I had the most awesome night last night. I mean, absolutely awesome. There is really nothing quite like good conversation. Everything else was great too of course. ;) We went to the OLV Basilica, which is a phenominally cool church. We went to the mall and got pictures from one of those silly photo booth things. We had dinner and then went to a lacrosse game (where Buffalo beat Rochester 12-10, muahahaha). We got shamrock shakes at McDonald's. And then we spent about two hours just driving around and talking.
I think one of the coolest things about it is how much better I feel about myself now. I've been second-guessing myself so much the last few weeks, no matter how many times I've told myself that I'm going to relax and trust my own feelings. The questions are always there. I don't know if they are totally gone now, but they've shut up for the time being, just from one little thing he said. Just because something is considered 'normal' (or 'not normal') doesn't mean it's going to end up a certain way. I know there are still people who think I'm jumping into a rebound relationship that isn't going to work out, because rebound relationships *never* work out. I obviously can't say for sure that it IS going to work out, because you never really know that. At some point you just have to trust that it will. But what I can say for myself is that if I didn't think this COULD work out, I wouldn't be doing it. You may remember that I had someone else in mind for a while before the breakup even happened... and the more I thought about that relationship, I realized that it wasn't going to go anywhere. So I decided not to go for it, and now here I am. To me, it's not worth having a relationship if I don't see it going anywhere.
So anyway... suffice it to say I am feeling really good about me, him, us, and life in general this morning. We've still got two weeks to make sure this is really what we both want. Two weeks to make sure we're not rushing into something. But I think I know how things will be looking once I get back from spring break and I'm pretty excited about it. :)
Six days till spring break. Nine days till we leave. I can't believe everything is already almost here.
Hope your weekend is as good (and as productive) as I think mine is going to be! :)
