ok, so here's an update on the boyfriend sitch. his name is thomas clements. we've been friends for about a year and a half. we met at church and started hanging out regularly for about 2 months until i started dating someone else and thomas had his options elsewhere. we didn't talk much the rest of that school year, just a quick phone call and sometimes even a quick visit. we didn't really start hanging out more until november, but i was already kind of seeing someone and when he told me he liked me i got a little scared and pushed him away. then FINALLY in february or march i called thomas and we started to hang out more often. more often meaning, i would most likely go over to his house or he would come over to mine at least 5 times a week. i told him that i did not want to date anyone as i was not sure where my life was headed to at that point, plus he was going to be in minnesota for the summer. needless to say, i am not too keen on long distance relationships. but the more we hung out, and the more i got to know the not-so-superficial-as-i-thought thomas... the more i started to discover feelings i had had for him. :) apparently he always had a bit of a crush on me, but i didn't think i really liked him until recently (he believes otherwise...).
so he finally kissed me the week of finals (at which point i told him i was still "undecided" about him, which only further ensued in his mind that i totally had it bad for him). there were other kisses that week as well, and at graduation i still was not admitting to anyone other than my roommate jill that i quite possibly could like this boy. the plan was for thomas to go work in minnesota and leave the sunday after graduation. he was waiting for me to ask him to stay and when i didn't he jumped at the chance to stay when his roommate and friend asked him to stay until the next friday. week of bliss ;) for both of us. after finally admitting my feelings, we were officially unofficial. i told jill and natasha (my two best friends at school as well as partners in crime...) that i can totally see myself marrying this kid. thomas left, i was sad. thus started the "summer of the phone" as my mom refers it.
this last weekend thomas and i went to his family reunion in eastern washington, which included the funeral of his mom's father, who died last monday. greatest weekend ever. this weekend wasn't so amazing just because i got to see my amazingly good looking and incredibly romantic boyfriend that i have not seen since... before... we started dating... i genuinely had a really good time. spending time with my potential future in-laws and just getting to know his mom and sister (as well as his paternal grandparents...) just cemented things about thomas in my mind. so wonderful.
so that is greatest relationship of my life in a nutshell. now i have 2 1/2 weeks until i get to go spend a week with him in minnesota, which could not come sooner.
