A lot has happened! So, about 2 years ago, I had a pen-pal a soldier that was overseas. And I wrote him letters, and then learned he had internet an we chatted online, and he even called me a few times. He was really sweet to where I developed a small crush on him, but I knew nothing would ever come from it. But, we were good friends, and both from arond the same area, and you can never have too many friends right?

So, we became pretty close, and then he got with another girl. This one he had met after me but she was younger 19, and he was 20, so it seemed a better fit. Well he flew he overseas to Italy, met her there, and proposed. I saw the pictures of this, and it no lie took my breathe away. It was on a old cobble stone road, on the bridge, at sunset. An there he was on one knee proposing to her!

They were married a few months later, and he stopped talking to me altogether. It would be rare that he would ever say hey to me, but I did get a few randomly. I was happy for him, honestly was! I don't wish lonliness on anyone! And then on Valentines Day this year, I was alone because my ex didn't want to do anything for V-Day. And I was online just hanging out, and he was on. He told me she left him, she didn't want to work, didn't want to clean their house, etc, and they fought a lot so she left him. I was shocked!

I mean, WOW! right? But, I chalked a lot of it up to they were so young! Well we've kept in contact as their annulment is being finalized.

So, last weekend was my first weekend back up at school, and I go to walmart with my friends to get groceries etc, and I get a text from him, it says, "there has been a change in my plans and I don't work tomorrow, I am coming to see you tonight!"

OMG! Yea that was my face, pure shock! I didn't know what to say.. I was excited, I was scared, etc!

About 8 hours later, he's here. We have a really long tight hug, and then dinner. I had already planned to go to the bars that night with friends, and he wanted to come. He met them and they all got along great, I was shocked really. He wanted to meet my friends, to get along with them, to hang out!

I really thought while they were all talking, this is what it's supose to be like! So, we decided that we both like each other. He told me he always liked me but didn't think I'd ever have time for him because of my school, volunteer work, work, and more! I am busy, but everyone wants someone.

SO- we are dating! We are trying to make it work even with him being 2 states away. I don't know if its going to work, but I enjoy our talks and when he visits. I plan on visiting him soon! And so far so good right?

NO- please don't leave me any comments about rushing into getting married, lol because that will not happen! I graduate in a year, I have a lot that I want to accomplish! I have dreams that I plan on fufilling! And I don't think he wants to get married so quickly again! Which is a good thing, but no were not talking about marriag! I think were just enjoying each other's company, and liking not being alone. Because that's how we've botth been.

Do I know if this is a good idea? No, it probally isn't but I am happy. So, why not live a little I ask myself!
