It's been a while...

Well...I've been told I've been a bit lax in the blog department lately and a few people are interested in hearing what's been going on in my life...There are a couple of reasons for my recent blog-related lazyness, the first being a state of pure busy-ness and the second being that the blog was original created as a way for me to purge all my pent-up thoughts and emotions etc. so that I could concentrate and now, I have a new way of doing that - talking to Ct. That's right folks, even though I haven't written in a while and most of you know, Ct and I are still together. We celebrated our one-month on Valentines Day (how perfect is that??) and he took me out to a very romantic restaurant for dinner...it was fabulous. We spend most of our weekends together doing one thing or another, with friends, or on our own...whatever happens to be going on at the time. I'm really busy with teaching Monday to Thursday evenings but he is very understanding and supportive of that and realizes what a huge time committment teaching is. Tuesday evenings though my roommate and her boyfriend and Ct and I (and others depending on the Tuesday) have made a tradition of going to Karaoke at the Duke. It is great fun and an evening I look foreward to each week. He has, since my last blog entry "officially" asked me to be his girlfriend, a formality that wasn't really necesary but sweet nonetheless. We discovered we missed each other when we were apart, as he went home for reading week. That kind of hit me like a frieght train. I had no idea I would miss him that much, it really made me realize how much he has come to mean to me. Sorry if that was too cheezy. He missed me too though and said so more than once. Our friend R was bugging Ct one evening a couple of weeks ago about how Ct should come up to Peace River and meet my family and since I had not really thought of that and we hadn't really talked about it I quickly told R that perhaps it would be best if Ct and I discussed that before R and Ct and I discussed it. Then after reading week when I realized how much I missed him and I started thinking about the fact that I was going home at Easter and we would have to be apart again what R had said popped into my head so I decided to brave the question and the thing was I sort of did the "you don't have to answer right now...just think about this..." disclaimer and before I even had the question out Ct was like "I've actually been thinking about that a lot and yes, I will come home to Peace River with you at Easter" I was like Holy Sh*t I haven't even asked the question yet...and then he comes in with the "but" we should stop in Wetaskiwin (where he's from) and stay at my parents on the way there. Oh crap...this I had not thought of. But we agreed that that is the plan. So yeah...omg... What else is there to tell...oh - in reference to previous concerns about the physical nature of the relationship, we have talked about that a lot and he understands and respects my issues/concerns/beliefs in the area of physical relationships. We were talking about it again the other night and he said something that just blew my mind..."The physical is not important, what I NEED is the emotional, the spiritual...the physical will come and I'm willing to wait as long as it takes." Isn't he great - I am so very happy!!
