I wanted to start this off with a happy note about my personal life! I have finally found someone worthy of being called my boyfriend.
I have told a good handful of people (well more than can actually fit in my hand!) What a dumb phrase! :P The reaction varies depending on who they are and the place they have in my life.
Those who have known me for years and have seen me change and grow, the people that have the most respect for me are so amazingly excited! They are all 100% supportive…
Then there are certain people who have also been in my life a long time and have known me for NOT dating and especially not sharing guys that are in my life with them.. Those people don’t seem to believe me.. they seem to act like I have an imaginary boyfriend.. I guess waiting until I actually introduce them to him!
Lastly, there are the people who don’t know me as well, who don’t understand who I am.. they are the ones that I tend to avoid.. they make negative comments and seem more jealous than happy for me..
The fact is, I don’t really care what anyone else thinks. Ultimately this whole thing is between me and him.. and no matter what, no matter what happens, no matter where things lead, no matter what the future holds, I will always know that I listened to my instincts, my brain, my heart and my intuition.
For those who are supportive, encouraging and excited for me, I thank you and cherish having you in my life!
So now for the people that make me giggle… (All of these happened today!!!)
1) Talking to Michelle H. at work today and even though she knew I had no clue what she was about to ask me, she asked anyway and when I let out an apparently devilish laugh, she giggled and we shared a belly busting laugh! She was already half giggling before she asked the question… She may as well have asked me to recite the Arabic alphabet!!!
2) Stepping into the elevator and seeing Michelle D. OMG I nearly lost it when I saw her face.. let me tell you about Michelle D. She is one of those people that I mentioned above that I absolutely cherish! She knows about that special someone in my life and when I stepped into the elevator, she looked at me, grinned and even with a full elevator, we shared a giggle! Neither of us really had to say anything.. it just too a look and a smile and I nearly burst with the joy and laughter that was contained within me! She’s pretty excited for me ;P
3) On the way out of the office I stopped at the news stand. I was picking up a large stack of magazines to take to my niece in the hospital. As I was heading back to where Lauren was picking me up, I overhear a conversation between 3 “suits”…
Suit #1 - “Hey, are you a snowboarder or a skier?”
Suit #2 - “Both”
Suit #1 - “So you go both ways then?”
Suit #2 - “Yep”
Suit #1 & #3 – *Muffled Smirks!!! followed by boisterous laughter*
Poor guy didn’t see it coming.. and it was subtle but it was funny!
I actually giggled the whole way down to the car!!
4) My Nephew.. I saw him today and he has really grown up.. It seems that every time I see him, he learns something new… the thing that makes me giggle, is HIS giggle! Tickling him is so much fun! He has the most adorable laugh and I am seeing him really becoming a little man! I love him so much!!!
5) My stepmom.. I saw her today and I saw a side of her that I haven’t seen in a long time! She was cracking subtle jokes and teasing me about my new beau… it was so funny to see her giggling after making jokes at my expense.. she is so funny and she really does bring out the best in my dad! She’s incredible and as much as I worry about her, I am amazed by her!
6) My new beau… text message… he knows what I am talking about.. that’s all I am going to say about that! ;)
So that’s it for tonight… I just want to end this with another THANK YOU to all the people in my life who are so amazing, special, supportive, encouraging, positive and just down right AWESOME! You know who you are!!! Love you all!
Pia!
