When life hands you lemons add alcohol and stir!

I had an interesting weekend and beginning of the week. All of it good if not great! I haven't felt this free in YEARS!

It all started on Saturday. I bought Gabe tickets for V-day to go see George Lopez (a favorite comedian for those who don't know who he is) and the show was Saturday night. Gabe took the day off (after nearly not being able to and threatening to quit because of it)and we spent the whole day together just doing the mundane around the house. We went to dinner and the show and it felt like old times. Lots of hand holding and touching. Very nice. Sunday was just a beautiful day. Went to lunch with a friend and some shopping. Gabe was extra attentive when he came home from work. Again....just really nice. Monday morning, out of the blue, he sent me a text that said, "I love you. Don't forget that. Ever."

HOLY HANDGRENADES OF ANTIOCH!!!!!!!!

My heart almost stopped. I've been feeling so much coming from him lately but I was afraid I was just interpreting it the way my heart wanted to and I wasn't using my head. Apparently, he used text to say what he was having a hard time getting out of his mouth. I told him I loved him more than words could say and that was that.

Things are opening up. Slowly. That is good. The frustration I've been feeling has eased a little. I now know that he does have feelings toward me and it's not just convenience so I feel better about things now. I've never said I think we should get married, make tons of future plans, nothing like that. I just needed to know if he felt anything toward me. Simple. That's it.

I got my tax refund and it was a pretty decent amount. I had paid off all of my bills with mom's life insurance so I don't have anything but the monthly typicals hanging over my head right now so.....I found a good deal on a cruise for Spring Break and I'm taking Marc. We are taking a 7 night Western Caribbean out of Tampa. We go to Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Belize, an Isla Roatan. Can't wait! Just a month away! I haven't been on an actual vacation (not going to stay with family) in 9 years!
