Boy.

I’ve been talking to someone….i know and I haven’t told you yet, I’m a horrible person.
His name is Drew.
He is 26.
Super sweet, genuine, loves the Lord.
He has a Masters degree and is thinking about getting a second Masters.
He works in the Pharmacy field.
We seem to hit it off really well and enjoy talking to each other.
He’s reserved, kind of shy, thinks before speaking, and is very complimenting.
I’m enjoying getting to know him.
We’re in the beginning stages of EVERYTHING.
Still getting to know one another, still stupid girly when the phone rings, still overly and incredibly cautious and guarded.
But I’m enjoying getting to know him, and learning more about what makes this guy tick.
The conversations we have are so broad and full of questions and answers, its nice to not only find out about someone I’ve never met but to have someone genuinely desire to get to know me.

We were talking about tattoos last night and I asked if he had any. He said he didn’t, that he wasn’t as adventurous to get something of that nature and asked if I had any. I laughed and said, “yes, I have on tattoo and plan on getting at least 4-5 more, I’m also getting another ear piercing in the next few months since I have a certificate.” I wanted to see where he stood on everything. I know tattoos/piercings can be a deal breaker for some people and I wanted to see if it was for him. His response, “That’s cool, I don’t want you to think I’m not into you any less…would you like me less if I never had tattoos?” How cute is that?!!!?

I’ve come to find out that I don’t have a specific type. I am drawn to all different styles and personalities in the opposite sex. Drew is definitely not someone I would normally see myself with, but I think that is why this is so exciting. He is so even keeled, so relaxed, so quiet, that so far it balances out my type-A personality.

I’m just thinking out loud. I’m not invested yet, and I’m taking this thing day by day. I’m at a complete loss on how this whole “getting to know you/dating” phase goes…but I’m praying about it, daily and I’m keeping my awesome girlfriends in the loop. They help keep me grounded. <3

I’m guarding my heart, immensely, since I royally effed up in the past at letting down my guard too quickly.
 
Anyways. Everything else in life is moving along. I have been struggling more with my Anxiety recently. I think its because my brother will be leaving again for college and I’ll be worried about him, I know I know, and just other life changes.
BUT I’m alive, God is incredible, family is fantastic, friends are amazing, getting to know Drew is exciting…all in all 2012 is turning out to be great. =)
 

How are each of you?!?!
