Baby steps!

For the past 2 hours I have been trying to do homework but I can’t I am just to happy, excited, confused…and it goes on and on! So my last two runs with Al have been amazing we have ran 7 miles each time and up a mountain. I love our time on the mountain the most he pushes me and believes in me and won’t let me fail! It is cool to see me improving each week! When we got to the top this week we watched the planes land at the airport close by and we stared att he beautiful full moon.This week at the end during one of our long hugs, yes he held me a lot longer this time, each time it gets better. He said “welp see ya on Sunday”…pop goes another balloon! What is he thinking??? Arg! So I  said “Al why so far away can’t we see each other sooner? Say Friday or Saturday?” Boys!!! It was like a totally new idea to him! So we decided Saturday night we would celebrate his new job! Oh that is another whole story he got a new job iti si like 45 minutes away and now he wants to move out there to be closer so no commute! Uh HELLO!!!! So on our run we were talking about that and I never can remember exactly what I said but I said something to the effect of it would then be hard for us to see each other as often then I just started running hard and faster…I didn’t want tohave the conversation. I know I need to communicate better which is another topic we discussed and he admitted he was terrible at communication!

Any who the next day he texts me and says “well do you want to make it a date Saturday night (um kinda thought it was) Waldo and his date want to double!”. Well you know me a date is a date is a date I’ll take it! So Saturday night he picked me up and we went to his favorite restaurant Red Robin yum…. We met the other couple there. Al and I talked to each other and the other couple talked to each other most the night. I guess once our food came we talked more as a group it was just kinda funny. Then we went to Jump Street this place with ginormous trampolines. I am not gonna lie I wasn’t thrilled about this idea. Al and I had already been there together for a ward activity and I am almost 30….come on lol! Whatever… so we jumped and it was a lot of fun. After lots and LOTS of convincing I finally did a flip and Al jumped over me while I was standing! Crazy! Then Al drove me past his office building, well his office for the next 2 weeks at least and then we went to his place. He lives in a house with 3 or 4 other guys it was a totally nice house. We decided to play Phase 10. Now I think many of you know I hate games! I am pretty competitive and I hate to lose. So I would rather just not play games so I don’t have to be angry with anyone! BUT if we are gonna play we are gonna play right! They didn’t want to keep score!!! Well then that is just a big friggin waste of time don’tcha think??? He was adorable though all night trying to help everyone win and convince me that this is the best way to play. Arg! He did not convince me but we had fun. He said we are like ying and yang and that is why we work well together.  

So then it was 11:40 and the other girl was ready to go home so they left and Al and I decided to watch a movie! After 20 minutes of debating and a roommate even trying to help we settled on the Proposal. We sat on the couch like before super close but a little into the movie I put my head on his shoulder so then the arm went around the shoulder and we cuddled! My cousin ased me what kind of cuddle and which made me laugh. My head was on his chest his legs were over my legs we were totally intertwined and he was rubbing my arm so softly it tickled and I didn’t think I was ticklish. I can’t believe I’ve never done that before. All day long as I have thought about it my stomach does flip flops. I am falling hard!

Baby steps!
