What a day!

April 30th, 2013 at 05:29 am

This morning I was walking out my door to head to work and found three wild horses roaming around my front yard and my neighbors yard. I took pictures, but will have to share them tomorrow (need to get to bed!)

Then I talked to my principal this afternoon to let her know about some of the drama (no names) and find out the real story. That went well. At the staff meeting today we were told that contracts should be coming out next week - yay!

Then after the meeting two of my coworkers, myself, and three dogs (two of them one of my coworkers, and one is a loose neighborhood dog who's attached itself to us) were out walking our short route when a dog which is usually penned up tight (sounding quite vicious) came out of nowhere and started attacking my coworkers Newfie! Thankfully the owners were in the yard and were able to call it off ... but holy cow!

At lunch today I ate at home, and just before leaving I finally got the courage up to send an email to old bf asking him if he'd be available to talk. Gulp. He responded saying anytime ...

So tonight after about an hour and a half of finding every reason in the world to delay the call, I finally called him. 2 1/2 hours later we hung up.

Big Eyes -- we're going to be getting together in a week and a half in CO at a half-way point!!!! I'm scared to death (but I think he is too ...) but also way excited. He's going to do some research about where might be the best spot to land, and we'll talk again Wednesday night.

I wish I'd had the courage to do this years ago. Don't cry over spilled milk though, right? I don't know what the outcome of it will be, but at least I won't have to wonder anymore.

When I first said maybe we should see each other in person, he immediately said, "When and where?" Then when I suggested May 24, he was like, I'm not getting any younger, that's an eternity. So I'm going to use one of my personal days (which I'll need to put in for tomorrow - so it's at least a week in advance.) Then I'll have to see if one of my coworkers will look in on Kari.

OMW!!!!!

I've gotta figure out how to get a haircut, manicure and pedicure before going!! Maybe this Sunday before I am supposed to be volunteering at our church event (taking professional photos of community members - not me taking the photos, I'm going to be a walking greeter person) I will have to ask my coworker where she had her hair done. (my hair badly needs a cut, it hasn't been cut since last summer before my dad's memorial service.)

    You definitely got a positive response from him. I am excited for you. Best wishes for it all. You never know you may be looking for a job where he lives for next year! Don't sign that contract too soon. Smile

    I wish you prayers and peace as you move forward. Know that whatever happens is meant to be, whether it be what you want or not. I admire you for taking the first step in moving on to next chapter. For what it is worth, my best friend says that CO is the most beautiful place on Earth. Smile

    There you go!!! Smile He sounds quite receptive to me.

    Try to go into it with low expectations, or better, no expectations at all. Try to think of it as you're just getting together with a friend, and see where it goes from there. At least that's what I'd do.

    Thinking about you--and believe if it's meant to be, it will be.

    So happy you made a move - Now no matter how you end up feeling about him at least you'll know (more)about your feelings for sure.
    I'd be super excited and nervous too.
    Very excited!! Big Grin

    Thanks everyone! I'm doing my best to keep my expectations low, but he keeps sending me these little email notes ... Smile We're going to meet in Colorado Springs. I've been to Denver before a few times, but never to Colorado Springs. Besides my hair,etc, I also need to get my car in to double check what the maintenance needed light is about - before making a 1000 mile round trip!
