im dreaming!

i must be! there is no way this is real.

i met this guy who is seriously so perfect. and when i say perfect, i mean perfect for me!

he took me on the best first date i have ever been on.
he picked me up and would not tell me where we were going. as we were driving to our destination the suspense kept building! i was going crazy because it had to be a surprise. he wouldn't tell me where we were going! finally we pulled into maverick helicopters. i was still freaking out but at the same time i was so excited. he was taking me on a helicopter ride!!! i was with this very attractive man, going on a helicopter ride! these things don't happen everyday haha. our helicopter ride took us over the strip in Vegas. it honestly was one of the coolest things ever.
after our ride, we went to Excalibur, the tournament of kings! dinner and a show! you have to eat with your hands. ;p i was kind of grossed out cause it was a chicken and i don't like using my fingers haha and bones, slimy and eww. so i didn't eat very much. but the show was fun.
after that we came back to my house and we hung out and talked till 4 in the morning! this girl NEVER does that. haha im usually in bed at 9:30. well, always before 11. but we definitely had some intense conversations and just got to know each other. i don't know if i feel like ive known him forever but i do know that i would like to get to know him forever. this sounds crazy because we have only been on one date. but it really was just that great! he is very in tuned with the gospel and that is something that i love. i may have drifted away from that part of my life but its still there, its something that i still want. and still something that i want to raise my kids in and have it be a part of my life. and i want someone who is going to help me be strong and reach for the best. by no means am i saying we are going to get married. and all this sounds so crazy, trust me i know. but i can't help letting it feel so right.
don't worry, definitely going to take it slow.
but im following my heart! ♡ 

this man has inspired me to be better. he makes me feel so good about myself and confident. the whole time on our date he just kept telling me  how beautiful i was. he couldn't get over it. and that made me feel so good. and i really noticed it today at work. i was just so happy (like that feeling you get when you like someone ha) and i could tell by the way i carried myself today that i felt so much better about myself and who i am and where i've been. and just by being  told im beautiful by someone who shares the same feelings as i do. it feels really good.

he has blue eyes and is 6'3" he loves the fact that i have a child and he showed me that he is good with kids. im sorry but to me you just don't get more perfect than that. lol. :] and he compliments everything i have to offer! i don't want to come off as this obsessive freak because im not. i just feel like the little mermaid when she thinks about prince eric....hahahah.
anyways. i really have my fingers crossed that this goes somewhere.
