Well guys it was 6 months yesterday since Mr. Facebook and I started dating, I can’t believe how fast it has gone by! So to celebrate I thought I would put together a little video of past 6 months to mark this small milestone in our relationship. It was so much fun to put together… I think I spent two days working on it. But in the end I’m really happy how it turned out. Hope you enjoy seeing all the pictures of us!
Tonight is the night for my birthday bash… I’m turning 24 at midnight! The weather is going to be amazing… looks like in the 60s and clear skies which I couldn’t be happier about. We should all have a ton of fun and I’m excited Mr. FB is going to be picking me up to take me to the party after work. We will see how many of my friends can make it out tonight. I’m sad though that my family couldn’t join in the fun, I think that is the biggest downside to living in another state. Boo.
Man, I can’t believe how much time has flown by… I still remember my 16th birthday bash. Wow… that was 8 years ago, okay that is making me feel old. I’ll stop talking about that now. Anyway, I’m sure there will be some fun stories to tell after tonight. Be sure to look for a blog post about my birthday after this weekend.
Lastly, Mr. FB told me last night that he has reservations tomorrow for dinner somewhere… hum I wonder where he is going to take me? hehe… I love surprises! Eeee… Can’t Wait!!!!

This just goes to prove you should NEVER give up on your dreams… I heard about this on the news this morning and had to watch it for myself. Susan Boyle on Britain’s Got Talent 2009, was by far the most unexpected surprise I have ever seen on a t.v. talent contest…simple phenomenal!
You can watch her performance on youtube. This without a doubt will amaze you… I still have chills, it just might even bring tears to your eyes.
Here are the lyrics to the song, “I Dream a Dream” Susan sang by Les-Miserables…
There was a time, when men were kind
And their voices were soft
And their words were inviting
There was a time, when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time it all went wrongI dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgivingThen I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untastedBut the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they turn your hope apart
As they turn your dreams to shameHe slept a summer by my side
He filled my dreams with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn cameAnd still I dream he’d come to me
That we would live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weatherI had a dream my life would be
So different from the hell I’m living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed
Random blind date tomorrow.
Tonight while I was out with one of my good girl friends Brit, I got a text from Mr. Facebook asking what I was doing tomorrow. Now to explain a little bit I met Mr. FB back at the end of December. He had ran across my profile on Facebook from a mutual friend and had sent me a message. Granted we have message back and forth the last couple months getting to know each other briefly.
Tonight he asked if I would like to meet up for coffee and brunch tomorrow at a little cafe. I figured what the heck I have nothing to lose, it is just brunch right? He seems like a nice guy from what I’ve gotten to know… so we will have to see how it goes tomorrow with Mr. FB. Well I better go, got to figure out what I’m going to wear.
(Sigh) Isn’t it funny how life plays out? You never know what new twist and turns it will take. Each day is day of it’s own, with a brand new beginnings. Knowing this along makes waking up easier and pushing forward seem effortless. Jobless or not… the way you experience it, is up to you. We can make it into anything we want, positive or negative. The only thing that would hold us back is ourselves. The world can overwhelm us with worry but is that really our purpose… to worry? What is there to worry about when life is so short to live anyway. Who said we get to see tomorrow? For myself I know if I don’t take chances, go for the gusto and live life to the fullest for Him everyday… I will regret it. It doesn’t matter what struggles I go through, it would be all in vain if it wasn’t for Him. He has blessed my life with so much in so many ways, this is the least I can do.
Tonight, after babysitting Mr. Seattle called me. Even though we only talked for a little, I could hear my heart beating. I don’t know what it is that makes me so attracted to him, maybe it is the innocence of everything. But more or less I think it is because he inspires me. I get excited to share my experiences with him and best of all I still have the opportunity to build a friendship. Even though we are far apart now and it might not be the best timing for anything. It is a beginning to something and it although there is a chance it could not go anywhere; I have this gut feeling it would be worth waiting around to find out. But until then I won’t know.
I may not be able to see the silver lining in my life just yet. With jobs, relationships or my future for that matter. However I know it will only get better, I just have to continue to stay focused and be positive. Everything has a time and place, even if it hasn’t turn out the way I thought it would. Just remember we have so much to live for, even if it means facing our struggles. When one door close, another will open.
“Clouds may come, but clouds must go, and they all have a silver lining. For behind each cloud you know, the sun, or moon, is shining.” -Unknown
The last couple days I’ve had the feeling I’m being a bother to Mr. Seattle. I haven’t quite figured out what happened or what has changed. However our conversations just have seemed a little more distant than usual and they are becoming shorter. I can’t put my finger on it, but I know something isn’t right.
Below are some reasons I think why he might be a little distant…
I don’t want to jump the gun just yet but, I think I will let things lay low for now. I really like Mr. Seattle and I was hoping that things wouldn’t come to this. The one good thing about our friendship is that he hasn’t over promised me anything. So even though I would hate the thought of nothing coming out of this, at least I’ve guarded my heart and I’m not in over my head. Who knows what could happen, maybe I could be totally wrong about everything. But usually whenever I get this gut feeling, it means something is up. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.
Today… my date with Mr. Seattle was more then I hoped for. We couldn’t have hit it off more! It started right before I was planning to meet up with him… since the snow was falling really hard in Circle City we had to push back the time a little. I got a call from him about a half an hour later saying police had shut down the interstate and he was a little lost. Being optimistic about the situation, I wasn’t about a little snow stand in the way of having the chance to meet him. So I pulled out a map and for an hour, I navigated him through the corn fields of northern Circle City to where I was. Not trying to pat myself on the back here, but I have to say I gave really good directions! The whole time we were talking on the phone we kept laughing and telling each other jokes. By the time he made it I was already really excited to meet him. Again having impeccable timing we both got to Paradise Bakery at the same time. As soon as Mr. Seattle walked into the door… I knew we would hit it off. His smile was warm, his personality delightful and he was just as good looking as he was in his photos. After we ordered he paid for my meal without even thinking about it. Needless to say, I was very impressed because I haven’t had a guy to do that for me in a long time. We sat down to eat and before we knew we had been sitting, talking, laughing and telling stories for 4 hours! Is that even possible?!?! We went from not knowing each other at all to talking like we have been friends forever! Even now, I still can believe it actually happened like that. Having to make it to Cincinnati by dinner time, I thought he better get going because of the weather. However, that was the last thing I really wanted. Getting up, he grabbed my coat and helped me put it on. After he did that, I just wanted to melt… I thought that was so sweet. Walking me to my car he gave me hug and told me he definitely wanted to see me again. Seriously, from that moment I have been on cloud nine. I couldn’t have been more blessed by meeting Mr. Seattle. From what I know of him right now he has most of all the qualities I’m looking for in a guy. I just pray and hope whatever happens, it is in God’s will. All I have to do now is just wait and see where He leads us.
