Something silly happened the other day. I haven't been thinking a whole lot about Patrick. There's no real reason for it, just I haven't been with the present happenings of my life. But for some reason Thursday morning he kept popping into my head, finally at about 1:30pm I decided to throw him a text just to see what he was up to. I said " Hey Patrick, I was just thinking about you and was wondering what you've been up to?" Right as I sent it I received a text. From him. That said "Chels! I haven't talked to you in a while and you kept popping into my head this morning. What have you been doing?" It was really funny. He was in town and we decided that later that night we would get together and catch up. I had Enrichment at Jess's house, and for some reason it ended up going longer than usual. Well, that's normally how things go when all of us get together. We end up chatting about this and that and all of a sudden it's late into that night. It was more interesting than usual this time. We did personality tests which are always entertaining. I found That means lots of things that I'm not going to write down. But it fit perfectly with how I see myself so.. .sweetness. I ended up not hanging out with him because I've really been trying to work on my sleep. I've created a schedule that working wonders for me. I wake up at 6:30, work out for about 2 hours .. go about my day and then am in bed fast asleep by 10:30. I'm getting around 9 hours of sleep every day!! I love my life. And everything just seems to be so much better when I've had enough sleep. I'm pretty sensitive when it comes to my "zzzz's" Anyways. Friday I scheduled him in amongst all the other things that I needed to get done. Work out, go check baby sea urchins up at the school [They're so cute!], date with Zach. Let me just pause here to say how much I LOVE Zach. We get along so well and even though we finished eating in about an hour, we ended up talking for another 3. Just about our lives, worst dates, favorites, dislikes. Whatever. I've known him for years and we have a lot of history but I was surprised about all the things that I DIDN'T know about him. I also had on a rockin' outfit which he commented on quite a bit. Maybe its just me, but that kind of thing is always agreeable. I was feeling very feminine. I was wearing a black tight fitting shirt with lovely lace along the bottom, a soft pink cardigan over the top. My skirt was knee length, white with minute pink and purple hearts spread across, frills bordering the bottom and a ribbon tied into a bow on the side. My hair was down with soft curls, a bow on the side. Fantastic flats and a cute bag. It was rockin'. Normally I wouldn't comment on something. But that outfit was superb. Anyways.. After I stopped by at Patrick's house and talked with him for a little bit.I finally met his mother who was a pleasant surprise. Maybe it was because I'd just spent about 4 hours with a really animated lively person, but it was boring. Patrick is fantastic, but I'm constantly having to pull him out of his shell and it gets tiresome having to do it so frequently. And after about 45 minutes I decided to bail. I was tired and annoyed and I'm probably just pre-menstral. Whatever the reason, I left in a hurry with a promise to call him later. I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I think my taste's are changing. Which is fine. Just different. Normally I'd be ok with being the more outgoing, or the one that leads the conversation. I guess I've been ok with for so long because Guido is constantly on the move, and people like Zach who I always have an awesome time with just don't have what it takes romantically and are better of suited for best friends. Either way... I'm tired. I came home, read Pride and Prejudice [favorite book] for a couple hours than rounded up Sarah and Emily and played "Curses". Sarah did a good job when she got me that, I loved every minute of it and it was good to laugh with my girls, talk and have a good time. I talked with Sarah on the way home, we ended up going for a drive up the canyon which is always alot of fun. The moon was full and the clouds swirling around it was fascinating. PLUS we say a porcupine!!!!! I've never seen one in the wild and it was cute the way it waddled across the road into the brush. I wished hard for my camera in that moment but it didn't happen. Sadness. It was good to open up with Sarah and I'm glad she did with me. Things have been so rocky with her lately that it's hard to figure out where we stand with one another. But it was good and I was in bed by a reasonable time. I dreamed a terrible dream. It included a steak casserole. And me eating it. It sounds funny, but it wasn't.. It really wasn't. I woke up this morning to the glorious sun splashing onto my sleepy face and my phone ringing quietly in the background. It was Guido!! I answered the phone and instantly sleepiness left me. He was so excited to talk to me! I mean I think it's mutual but it was special to hear the eagerness in his voice, like he had been afraid I WOULDN'T answer. Some interesting facts about Guido and I: 1. Met in 6th grade. 2. Been in love ever since. 3. Long distance has always been the case. 4. He's Jewish. I'm LDS. 5. We have NEVER had a fight. I think that's my favorite one. We've always been so open and honest with each other that contention has never been as issue. Ever. In our entire time of knowing each other and being together. I love him I love him I love him I love him
