Mama Knows Best

It probably comes as no surprise to y’all, but I have been rather preoccupied these days. I have been spending copious amounts of time with a boy. A boy that many of my friends are not sure of, a boy that mother’s warn their daughter’s about and one that I am still not quite sure where things are heading. One of us is way in over their head and by one of us, I totally mean him and not me. I am still unsure of this whole dating thing and how much time is appropriate to be dating after getting out of an eleven year relationship.

What I do know about this whole boy situation is this: I have never been so incredibly happy in all my life. I spend hours laughing until my stomach hurts and taking on new adventures. We get along fabulously and know each other well enough to know when something is wrong, when to leave the other alone and when one of us just needs a hug. We are both incredibly broke and find comfort in knowing that we do not have to go out to have a good time, we can just sit around a camp fire or by the fishing hole. I know that his health savings account has more money in it than his actual savings/checking account and that he is not someone I ever pictured myself dating.

I am taking things slowly and putting one foot in front of the other.  I do not want to rush into things and find myself getting hurt in a couple of months, but I also do not want to move so slowly that I regret missing out.  So for now, I am taking things slowly and enjoying myself.  I will not settle for second best anymore.
