I had a date!

That gets an exclamation point because I haven't had a date in a long time... Over a year. That's mostly because I chose to focus on school and keep myself busy with that and family. It's also partly because dating can be scary, and my past choices in men have not been that great. Don't get me wrong, I regret nothing. Every choice I've made has shaped who I am and taught me something new about myself and what will or won't work for me.

This time, though, I've managed to find someone that listens to a lot of the same music, loves to read, values (& encourages) education, and loves museums. I can't possibly go wrong with someone whose favorite store is Barnes & Noble and thought our second date should be to a museum!

I've known him several years, glad I finally found out that he was available & worked up the nerve to ask him out. Everything in it's own time, that's for sure!
