I haven't updated in quite some time. I haven't had the time. I met someone and I am trying to spend as much time with him as I can before he goes on a 5 month hiking trip. 
The last couple of weeks has just been crazy. I haven't been home other to eat and sleep. Maybe do some laundry. Him and I (and my best friend sometimes) have been spending our days hiking for hours. The last week, though, it's been him and I. I got on a motorcycle for the first time in over 10 years. I'm scared shitless of them. That day turned out wonderful, though. We wandered for hours, stumbled across an old farm. Running around like kids with a sense of wonder...
On Easter, I woke up with him and my best friend came over. I was assaulted with squirt guns and cornered in my room. Luckily, I had a huge bottle of water. One of them were getting soaked. Turned out, it was him. I ended up getting over 2/3 of the bottle dumped on him.
After he left, my best friend and I grilled out. OH MY GOD!!!!!!! I kick ass at grilling. I made chicken and potatoes... so good... so very, very good.
Yesterday was the day I've been fearing for the last week. He told me that he had a surprise and I needed to get off of work early Monday and Tuesday off completely. Okay. I made that happen. By the way, surprises freak me out.
So, I get in the car, we are on the highway and I find out we are going to Indiana. It's almost a 6 hour trip to Bloomington, IN.
We get there and we slam down our drinks and run to get there. He grabs me by my waist and spins me to show me that we are there to see one of (TOP 3) favorite bands, Wilco. I've never seen them before. I don't go to shows really. I don't like people but this was so perfect.
We go to the hotel and get a couple more drinks. We decide we need more drinks and should walk to a bar. So after 2 or 3 miles we decide we just want to go to sleep and cuddle. I am walking along this concrete wall that surrounds a pond and makes a fake waterfall.
We came to a place where one of the "waterfalls" were and have to make a jump for it. I decide that I have had a couple of drinks and even though I am NOT drunk, it would not be a good idea to jump.
I get in and my feet are a little wet and I can feel the ledge under my feet. At this point, I get a little too confident and I think I have more room than I do. As I am slipping, he catches me by my elbow and helps me up.
I'm only soaked from the waist down. We walk back.
I take a shower and go to bed.
Today, I had a romantic cuddle and nap under a shade tree somewhere in Indiana. We slept for about 3 hours (more or less).
It's just been a really great 2 days. There's more, but I don't really care to write. I just want pizza and sleep.
OH!!!!!!!! And, it's been almost 2 weeks since I have had a cigarette!!!
I am training to start running again tomorrow.
