How is it they know?
First of all, the new Staind CD, “Illusion of Progress” is amazing. Love it.
Second of all, I just want to say that I been given a new sight into life, in general, as well as my own. It is not often that I experience moments like the ones I experienced Wednesday, and well into Thursday, and even now. I cherish them and the people who make me feel them. This time, I have my new found friend to thank. I see good things, very good things.
Third of all, I love my life right now – boy, apartment, work. I got a card from Mimi today and it mentioned Ethan twice. And I quote:
“Ethan has passed our test – so he’s a keeper (also underlined) – we all really like him but how does he put up with you?”
Thanks Grandma. Also:
“We miss you lots – say hi to Ethan.”
In 10 sentences, a mere 10, he makes it into 2. That’s a fifth. What gives?
But in all seriousness, Becky made some comment to Ethan today that struck me too. I know I am madly in love, but is it that obvious to everyone around us? I’ve never wanted to be “those people,” PDAs and whatnot, but after Europe I didn’t care and when I am with him sometimes he’s all I see. For instance, my squeezing him to death in front of the Deli in Tolland Big Y when I got back from Europe.
Sometimes I feel like this is all a dream. When I wake up and he is still sleeping I just look at him so contently, and then violently shake him to tell him I want to see his eyes. (Anyone who has known me for any length of time will appreciate this, for my mother would never let me wake anyone up, ever, no matter what.)
I booked us a hotel for Lucas’ wedding weekend in September on Sabago Lake. I was super stoked and felt like a little kid with all my excitement, and then I realized the arrangements will be similar to what they are here at my apartment, except of course there will be maid service so I won’t freak out about the bed not being made. I just still don’t feel like this is all real. And it’s been more than four and a half months.
