Relationship Status

OH BOY. Oh boy...

My old college roomie came to visit this past weekend and we painted the town red! It was so nice to hang out with her, chat, make wonderful food, and be able to do whatever we wanted without a timeframe. What a perfect ending to our summer vacation.

I met a boy while eating out with my old roomie - he sat down next to me, asked if the seat was taken by someone else and then we ended up talking the night away. (Keep in mind, my roomie was talking with a much older gentleman to her right, and he was a sweetheart, so I wasn't ignoring her). We chatted with the much older gentleman most of the early evening, chatted with the owner of a vodka company (who makes a great vodka) and with the handsome man to my left.

Saturday's events turned into a lot of chatting on Sunday, and last night he came over for an impromptu spaghetti dinner. (YES, I cooked and didn't burn anything. Such a proud moment). We talked about all kinds of things, what we want in life, where we see ourselves in the next few years, played a friendly game of Battleship (I won!) and enjoyed each other's company. Too bad it was a school night...

We talked about dating and what we would like to see in our dating lives and decided to make it official and change our facebook status messages to show we are in a relationship... Scary, right? Not so much. I've got a calm and excited feeling about it. Not just because it's all in the new stages, but because it's out of the ordinary and I like that. I know people say you change as you get "older" and you make decisions now that you may not have made a few years prior. No way would I have thought that I would have had the privilege of meeting a guy at a restaurant/bar and would be facebook linked on Monday evening.

I guess I'm falling in love with myself more and more as the days go on...

In other news - first two days of school have been great so far. I'm a little concerned with the size of my classes, but it should level out soon. Please cross your fingers for me and our school. Sure, we love that we all have jobs but with an overcrowded problem and a mandated class size requirement, it's a little bit zoo-like.

I'm sure you're all guessing what my All Good Things moment of happiness is: You guessed it - just being happy with how everything has been falling together in an unpredictable yet wonderful way (along with dancing in my living room).
