The Best Weekend Ever! (Feature)
You had to put up with the preview... now here's the real post.
This has been, by far, the best weekend I've ever had. I can't complain about any aspect of this weekend or about anything in life at all. For the first time a very long time, I feel complete. God's been really good to me, I have a family that loves me, I have an awesome career and I have a great girl in my life. What is there to complain about? Not a thing. :-)
This was the weekend that Emily and I officially because "us."
I'll never forget the events that led up to us becoming "us." I was at Em's hotel on Friday night/Saturday morning and we were talking after her friends went to sleep (they drove down to Indy for the state marching band competition and went the night before so they wouldn't have to get up mega early on Saturday morning) and she said that she was good at something (sorry but I don't remember that part :-/). I told her that something else she was good at was thievery because she had stolen my heart. Then we started talking about how great things had been since we met and how happy we make each other. It was at that point that I reached into my jacket pocket and pulled out a piece of paper that had my poem printed on it. See, she had mentioned earlier in the week that she had decided she was ready to hear the poem I wrote for her. Honestly I wasn't planning on reading it to her but the moment was so right. So, by the light of my cell phone I read it to her. She cried and said that it was the first time she had cried tears of happiness because of something a guy did for her. I'll be honest: My eyes got kindda watery as well. We talked somemore about how we both knew after the first night we met that there was something there, that things between us were only beginning. By the time all was said and done we were officially a couple. And I've never been happier.
I will admit it to the world: I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THIS GIRL! :-D
The feelings expressed in my poem (which I'm debating on posting here... part of me wants everyone to read it, part of me wants it to be something special between Emily and I) are mutual.
After I read the poem to her I talked to her about how it came to pass that I came to Fort Wayne, how I could have gone to a couple of other places but Fort Wayne just stuck out to me. I've never told anyone (except Emily) but I knew there was a reason for my coming up here when I decided to move here. At the time I justified it by saying that it was just a great career move (which it was!) but I knew there was more to it than just that. I firmly believe that she's the reason I ended up in Fort Wayne. As I've mentioned before, I have feelings for her that I've honestly never experienced before. So who knows what the future holds... I just know that I love what has happened so far and I eagerly await to see where this journey takes us.
I went with Em and her friends to the marching band competition at the RCA Dome the next day and it was a great time! It was truly a coming together of the best that the state of Indiana has to offer and I was truly blown away by what I saw. Every band there put on great performances and I was just blown away at the creativity that they showed. My favorite, by far, was Avon High School. They had a football theme, something I had never seen or heard about in a band performance. It was truly unique.
Tonight I got a song that Em said she was thinking about when I picked her up for our night on the town last weekend (when we went to see the philharmonic and all) and I can truly say that it made me cry because it felt like she was talking to me through that song. It's "Dreaming of You" by Selina. Oh man... it's a beautiful song and it tugs at my heart strings evertime I hear it, especially now. :-) Em said she couldn't believe that there's a song out there that describes so well how she feels about me. I really feel special. :-)
Not a day has gone by that I haven't thanked God for sending her to me. Emily and the other people in my life help me to realize just how blessed I am.
I could go on more but I think I need to go to bed so I can prepare to face tomorrow. Goodnight and God bless!
