I'm back and I had a BLAST!! Backstory...Okay, so after I called off my last relationship (long story short...he basically revealed what a true ******* he really was and said and did things that...well, that I don't think anyone could or should do to someone they care about), I was just talking to this guy (Steve!) that I met kind of through a friend of mine (through World of Warcraft of all things!) and I started liking him and stuff.
Anyway one thing kind of led to another and Steve and I started just talking more and more and realizing how much we had in common and how similar we were and everything-- and this took a *while* because we're both usually really quiet people and all, but our phone conversations just got longer and longer and ...yeah.
We just completely fell for each other, totally unexpected-- because I am in
Atlanta and he is clear across in the San Jose area of California! It just happened, neither one of us was really "expecting" anything at first... but it just feels SO right, so comfortable, and so easy. Soooooo we decided to finally meet up after a bit of talking. Well, we were sort-of talking about meeting up (we were both so scared) and he surprised me with the tickets actually, but yeah!
So I was SO terrified flying out there, even though we'd been talking so much and sending pictures and all back and forth-- but once I got there, we got wrapped up in this HUGE hug and I swear (this sounds so silly) it was like I was at *real* home. And I felt so safe and comfortable and happy... we spent the whole first night just holding and kissing each other and just laying there watching a movie and we would just look at each other and just smile and giggle. I can't even describe how wonderful it was.
The whole weekend was like that. We went to his cousin's wedding and so I got to meet *everyone* like right off the bat, haha. They are all really nice and wonderful people though.
We went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and I was totally like a kid in the candy store, LOL. But he kept looking at me and smiling and we would just stop what we were doing and just hold each other.
And oh god, he took me to the beach just to watch the sunset. We stopped by there at first and (again, kid in candy store) I just took off and naturally got completely soaked on the bottom of my jeans, but it was so hilarious. We went to dinner before the actual sunset and he kept laughing because I was jumping up and down trying to get all the wet sand off my jeans.
Today was the hardest part of all though. I couldn't leave him. We were both crying and I still haven't really stopped. I had to ask him to leave first and I feel horrible because I know it broke his heart too. Even on my layover we were talking and I could have gone back, but I know I have to finish school. I thought this place was my home but it's not. I miss him so much already.
I'm going back a couple days after Christmas and staying a bit longer though, so we're just talking about making it till then and we're both still trying to comfort one another.
We did take pictures, and I'll upload them and to this post tomorrow or something.
I just never thought this would be so easy and so comfortable and so right. But it is. This visit just confirmed everything-- for both of us. I am so, so happy with him even though it still hurts to be away from him right now. But we can make it. I'm definitely moving out there after I graduate in May to be with him forever-- we can't wait. I couldn't stop smiling the whole time I was there and neither could he. It was just so perfect. We can make it through this and then I really will be home with him.
Holy long post, batman. Haha I guess I rambled a bit. :X I'll put the pictures up soon!
Edit: Pictures are up! There are only 3 of us right now, one outside the Monterey Bay Aquarium (yeah, we weren't looking at the camera lol!)m one was taken when we were watching the sunset on the beach, and the other was at his cousin's wedding Friday night (eek!) He doesn't like a lot of make-up so I feel like I look a bit rough around the edges
I dunno, you can decide that for me! But anyway, this is us!
