Happy New Year - 2 things.

Happy New Year!
I can't believe that it has been 3 days since I posted!

I've been overwhelmed.
I went out with Marc again on Saturday night, which I told you.

Sunday, I went for a walk, got home, took a shower, and discovered a text that said:
"Good Morning, Sunshine."
I said, "SHIT!" "SHIT, SHIT, SHIT!"

Later, he called me DURING CHURCH. (I had the phone on vibrate.)
I called him back and we had a quick chat. Justin was picking us up to go to the local bar to watch the last Steelers game, so I rushed him off the phone. He said, "Call me after the game." I was in such a hurry that I said OK. Then, I was mad at myself.

So, I decided not to call. Well, then he called me. I ignored the call and he left some message about the Steeler game. (He doesn't like Pittsburgh.) I waited a few hours and sent a text that said something like, "Now that's how you win a football game. No time to talk-- call me in a few days. Happy New Year!"

I get a response that says, "Did I do something wrong?"

Me: "Just take your time."

Him (paraphrased): "OK, I don't want to mess this up. You are very cute and nice and I've had more fun in the last 2 days that I have had in a long time."

ME (not texting) : ARGHHHHH!

I didn't respond. I didn't think it was necessary. That night, I got a text that said, "Happy New Year." I didn't respond. I didn't think it was necessary.

He respected me and didn't call me yesterday. I was so glad -- I'll tell you about that in a minute.

He did call tonight. I was having dinner with Tracy and Mandy, so I asked if I could call him back. I did. We had a nice, 28 minute phone call. It was so much more relaxed. He wasn't pressuring me at all. Finally, I said that I needed to get ready for school tomorrow. He said, "You are really busy this week, aren't you?" I said yes and reminded him of what I've got going on. He said that he was hoping that we could have dinner sometime and would I wait to eat with him since he doesn't get home until about 7:00. I said that would be nice, just not this week. He seemed ok with that. He asked if next week was good and I said yes. We left it at that. I don't have to worry about this weekend because he has his son and I'm very busy.

THE OTHER BIG NEWS: Tracy and Justin got engaged! YEAH! They are thinking about a summer wedding. They got engaged on New Years Eve and have been hot on the phone making arrangements! It is cute-- Justin is more excited than she is. He is already making his guest list!

I better get to bed.
Love you!
