Something new.


This is the start of something new and possibly the beginning of many last “firsts”.  Needless to say, I’m on cloud nine.  I met Scott on August 11 through a mutual friend and knew something was different about him.  He’s a Christian, he’s witty, he’s smart, he’s kind, he’s compassionate, he’s funny, he’s tall, and he’s an accountant (okay, maybe the last two are a little shallow)… but, he’s great.  He’s a gentleman and I knew I wanted to get to know him.  Well, apparently, he wanted to get to know me, too.  So, we started hanging out and talking to each other.  As we got to know each other a little better, I started to get more and more scared.  I was terrified of falling for this guy.  He’s everything I want in a guy, but I was doing everything to push him away.  So, I do what I do best and tried ruining it.  But, respectfully, he kept pursuing me and I couldn’t understand why (which absolutely kills me).  After explaining my apprehension and fear to a close friend, she encouraged me to let it unfold without needing to understand everything that was happening.  Obviously, I’m not great at this “just go with the flow and let it happen” idea.  But I decided to listen and give it a shot.  I had to make a conscious effort to think of every reason why I don’t deserve Scott and really embrace the fact that he wanted to be with me.  As a result, Scott asked, ever so sweet, “I know what I want so I don’t want to wait any longer; will you be my girlfriend?” And, now here we are and I’m so excited to begin this new journey.
