Pinch me

Things are surreal.

It's been a little more than a week now since my relationship with Ben had its big upgrade. Since that time we've talked and texted every day. Since I'll be out of town for the next two weekends, we had made plans to meet up Saturday morning for a few hours, before I had to go off to a wedding.

Friday rolls around and I start thinking . . . you know, why don't I just head up to Ben's house tonight after I pick my mom up from the airport and she goes back to her hotel? So that's what I did. We spent the night cuddled on the couch watching TV, then continued the cuddle fest in his bed :-) And I experienced my very first make out session . . . that's fun.

Saturday morning we slept in and talked a bunch, then decided to go to the store for breakfast supplies. Then, to the sound of 90's alternative rock (Hello Third Eye Blind!) we cooked breakfast. He made scrambled eggs (with mushrooms) while I cooked the bacon, which I actually hadn't done before. It all turned out awesome! It was a beautiful day, so we ate outside in his backyard, along with his roommate. It was so hard to leave for the wedding!

Today was Mother's Day, and since my mom came into town for the wedding she was able to spend it with my sisters and me. I, unfortunately, spent much of the day studying for the big test next week. I still don't feel like I'm quite prepared enough for it. I must say, dating definitely was a distraction this past couple months. But I don't regret it at all. It brought Ben into my life, which has really been great. I've had so much fun with him these past two months that I've known him. Tonight I talked to him on Skype, which was very nice. I will definitely make use of that during my trip to the Midwest.

When I'm with Ben, things are awesome. I love talking to him, being around him, and holding him. When I'm not I must admit it kind of hits me what I'm doing. Things are out of the hypothetical now. I'm a gay guy doing gay things. The implications are far-reaching. First up . . . telling my father. Oh boy.

Your in the closet. How did I miss that? Haha
Watch a few it gets better videos. They will give you the strength.

Ben seems like a catch. Just remember to look deep before you leap. Love is blind it will take over your mind. Haha.

Good luck on the test.

Haha, you are just giddy with excitement breaking down those barriers you put up for yourself. Good for you and Ben. Next thing you know, you are going to have cute pet names for each other.
