my love life...

sooo a little update on my love life....

long story short, i had a thing for jeremy ever since he started working there, way back in april... we always flirted and talked, i spent the night on the couch with him in MAY @ mikes house after a night of drinking, but absolutely nothing happened other than cuddling, and ever since then i decided i wanted to date him ..... but when i hinted about dating he always told me to be patient or not to push him.... soooo after a while i kinda gave up on the dating thing and just enjoyed our excessive flirtation and talkin on the phone.... by the time i went to colorado at the end of july, i had really begun to want to date him again.... but didnt want to push anything for fear that he would again tell me to be patient - ps im just not a patient person, i like to get what i want, and i wanted him! lol ... (he jokes about how i chased him... which i am not proud of, but lets face it ive never been good at playing hard to get!) we went to walmart after work one night at midnight when i was getting last min things for colorado, and for a moment he put his arms around my waist and i got goosebumps... it was great.... we began spending more and more time talking on the phone almost every night after either one of us got off work, for hours at a time... soo the week after i returned from colorado he & his roomate mike had a party @ their new place in ft madison, and i convinced liz to take me down there.... where i ended up spending the night with him, (which led to our 1st kiss) .... it was a great night...

anyways... finally jeremy & i had our 1st date aug 21st... of course i was the one who iniciated it ... i sent him a text saying "sometime when we both have the night off, can we do something together" to which he replied, "when's the 1st time we have the same night off" :-) i was so happy not to get the whole dont rush me comment that i had been getting for the past 3 months!!! ... & our 1st date was great. he came to my house to pick me up (its at least 45 min from his house) we then went to btown, to a dinner, then to the river to walk around, sit and talk, etc... and then we went to a movie... it was great, i was nervious at 1st, but after we went down to the river everything was just so comfortable. we were standing at the gazebo and he had his arms around me over looking the river and i just wanted to stay there all night! ... well anyways.... after the movie he had to take me back to my house, where we decided to watch a movie because the night was going so well neither of us wanted to end it.... he met my mom, which was ok. anways he ended up staying all night, on the couch... because we didnt finish watching movies and talking until about 5am! and he had a 45 min drive home... sooo yeah... it was so cute he was all worried that my mom wouldnt like him since he spent the night on the 1st date! lol .... we went to lunch and he didnt even leave until 6pm!!! sooo our 1st date lasted over 26 hours! and it was GREAT!

two nights later he came up to my house again when my mom was out of town and he stayed all night and the whole next day, we just cuddled and talked and it was great... since then we have spent as much time together that we can (with me not being able to drive and him living 45 min away its not that easy) ive spent quite a few nights at his house just because it makes more sense since i live so far away... im loving on his puppy jessi mae.... she's a 4 year old yellow lab, and she likes to sleep ON me in bed .... i guess im in her spot and she doesnt want to give it up, but she'll learn! ;-)

anyways, im just really happy about how things are going with us. i cant believe that i like him this much already.... we had the talk last night where we decided that we want to be considered bf & gf.... which may seem strange since we had our 1st date like 3 weeks ago, but we've been talking so long that i know i want to be his gf.... i dunno part of me is scared by how much i like him, scared that i'm going to get hurt, but the heart wants what the heart wants and i guess im not going to fight it right now... :-) (hope this doesnt bite me in the ass later...) i'm happy that im happy with him... and im ok with that right now... this is just one more thing that will be so much easier when i get my license back in october!!! i see a lot of trips to ft madison in my future!!! ...

ok well im best be off... ive got to shower and head to work soon... soooo enjoy my update, hope there is more good news to come soon!
