oxidation or rejuvenation?

I may be getting a bit rusty in the blogging department, but I am blossoming in other parts of my life. Four months ago I met the love of my life...yeah, you've heard that one before, right? Well, it was all lies (before) :)

J and I met on the dance floor, where he literally swept me off my feet. He was an instructor for a while, so has the skills necessary to impress any woman. Apparently he chose me, and two weeks prior to meeting him, I had already chosen him. How, you may ask? I went to the studio's open house to sign up for a dance class, and there he was...handsomely helping instruct students in the night class that was going on during the open house. I was immediately attracted to his smile and kind face. So, naturally, when I saw him a second time at the social, I couldn't let him go!

We exchanged phone numbers before I left the night of the social and when I got home he had already sent me a text saying how wonderful it was to meet me, dance and talk so much. He said we should go out again soon. My response: "You're on!" :) We talked and sent text messages all week until our first date. (We met on a Saturday and the first date was the following Thurs.) It was incredible - we drove to the Canal district, walked around to a few different bars, talked a LOT. When he brought me home he almost didn't kiss me though! He told me later that he didn't want to come across too pushy, but I had been waiting since the moment he picked me up for that first kiss - haha...I had talked about it all day with my friends!

In any event, the first date quickly turned into a second date two days later, and then the ball kept rolling faster and faster from there. Now, here we are four months later, already talking about what's to come this summer when it's time to review our leases. We're eager to move in together and...yep...eager to get engaged :) It's come fast, but I am absolutely sure of my future this time, and so is he. So, I am researching rings so that he can get me something I like and will be comfortable wearing. I keep saying that due to my active lifestyle I need a flatter ring so that I can put my hands in and out of my jean pockets and do all of my favorite activities (or most of them) without losing stones or breaking prongs. It's amazing that I'm even telling you all of this...I haven't even told my mom!

Ah well...time to wash up for dreamtime. Tonight I get to cuddle with my bear :) I hope you get to cuddle too!
