proud

This has been the only time since the day Katie moved out of our apartment that I wanted to call her, she would be the only one that could totally understand the leaps and bounds of improvement I've made.

Long story short...

For those of you who are unaware, I used to live in Spokane, WA...prior to being 21 there was little to do late at night other than go to a near 24 hour diner called "Satellite." I had the hugest crush on one of the servers there. Katie, who also at the time lived in Spokane, had mentioned this to him, and in response he said I was cute! Oh! Ecstatic, right?! Wrong, too shy and unusual I never did anything about it.

Fast forward! It is about 2 or 3 in the afternoon a month back and I am taking a stroll down Stark st when I recognize a face I cannot place at that moment in front of The Bonfire. It suddenly strikes me! It's DEAN from the Satellite that used to live in Spokane!!! Point noted, I then made it my mission to go back there and ask him on a date.

Last night I did it non-awkwardly and like I wish I would have 4 years ago when I lived in Spokane. Had it worked out any other way it would've been another opportunity lost in retrospect. I am finally in a state of stability and confidence...it would've never lasted past one night of hanging out prior, and it is just funny how fate can align the stars for you down the road. Tomorrow we will see what cards I've been dealt.

More later. I'm fallin' asleep at the keys and not closing in on any gaps in my train of thought. Much love to ya'll!
