In love

Have you ever had that moment, where you wish time could stand still and you could embrace the happiness and euphoric feeling forever? I had one of those moments this last weekend. I headed down for Bible study, which started for game night at my old church. Of course, if you know me at all, I hate games. So, I didn't last long there, but then went to rescue an old married friend. She was having a rough night and I listened and calmed her fears. After she was calmed down, I headed to the bowling alley where all the fun began.

At the beloved sacred bowling alley, 3 guys (I will get in trouble if I call them boys. But, they are not men.) joined a friend and I. We all had a great time bowling. I always flirt with HIM, but most don't even know I like HIM. It was great to see him smile and that smile washed away the craziness of school and the stress of life. The music was blaring, but the symphony of my heart washed over me. Then I heard the words, "Do you want to go somewhere at talk?" My heart stopped, what guy ever says that?

He and I, plus one, went out after bowling (after midnight.) and talked. He gave me hope, when he mentioned moving up to the city. There was mention of going to church together and even heading to Bible study together. I couldn't stop smiling and went into "dreamy" mode. Finally at 1 am, we all headed out and headed for home.

The next morning, after quite an encounter at a yard sale, I stopped by HIS work to say hi. He gave me a discount on my $1 purchase. "She's family." The counter girl quipped, "Are you sure?" "That will be 80 cents please."he said. "Seriously, I can pay $1." "Nope, that will be 80 cents." "So, I haven't seen you in a long time." I joked. "Yeah, since 1 am this morning."he said. "I had a great time last night." Then every girls' head turned at starred at me. (Yes, they too are all in love with him.) He left grinning ear to ear. I left giggling like a school girl. (I was thinking, yeah he was with ME last night. He hates you.)(Evil laugh.)

As I chatted with a friend at work today about this GUY, I obviously was giggling and grinning a little too much because a couple of my coworkers pointed me out. "Yeah, I'm a single school girl. So what if I feel like I'm twelve. Relationships have to start somewhere."

So, I'll head back to my downcast job for a few more day, but I can always hope for greater things to come...we all have to dream.
