It's been awhile...
Summer happened and this blog certainly didn't...
School starts tomorrow and things are starting to fall (haha, pun not intended) into our normal routine of organized chaos. I'm stressed but it always turns out okay in the end.
This summer consisted of family and friends with a handful of dates sprinkled in the middle. I have to admit by the end of July I had pretty much just given up on the dating scene of life. If I had one more guy tell me I spend too much time with my kid I was going to seriously loose my mind, probably on whoever that unsuspecting guy was. We are a package deal, take it or leave it - end of story.
I spent some time being single, hanging out with some amazing drama free friends. I think it's the most fun I've had going out in a long time. We played pool at the local dive bar and hit the casino for some dancing. There were definitely some antics going on which was just good fun. By mid July I had gotten to the point where I was happy being single and actually enjoyed not dealing with the weirdos on Plenty of Fish.... seriously, there are plenty of rotten fish on that site!
One evening, I got a message someone I had met on POF awhile back. I will fully admit (and he will too) that he was a jerk when we met last December. We talked for a week or so and he finally convinced me to meet him, as a friend. Admittedly I thought okay, fine... what do I have to lose. Much to my delight it was a really nice night, the conversation was good and he was completely respectful. After a couple more dates I drug him out to the dive bar & casino with my friends. They absolutely adored him... in fact i'm pretty sure he's got a bro-mance going on with one of my best guy friends, but I'll forgive him for that.
I like him, he likes me and it's pretty damn scary. It was a strange phenomenon this weekend, we spent some time at his family cabin up north and when I left I wasn't worried. Every time I left with my previous husband I would wonder when I would see him again. When I walked off the plane after we were married I burst into tears in the airport because I didn't know when I would actually see him again.... I know, I know... hindsight is 20/20 people and yes, it was raining red flags well before the marriage. Anyway, the point being I wasn't worried. I knew he would text when he got home and continue to call, text or just come over. His text messages me cute sayings and always manages to text good morning before I'm even out of bed. I'm honestly not sure how to react to it sometimes. He literally would not let me pay for much unless I snuck my card in before he could argue or negotiated with him. The weekend was filled with drives, beaches and random shopping, it was amazing and relaxing.
Last night I deleted my Plenty of Fish account. I'm off the market for potential guys. The one right in front of me seems pretty damn good so far. I'm trying my best to relax, not over think and just let things happen organically. I'm curious to see where this ride takes me... I'll keep ya'll updated.
