My life just got better...

May long weekend is a crazy time. Every one goes everywhere it’s nuts. Highway two was absolutely insane on Monday night it was like bumper to bumper traffic all going a good ten klicks under the speed limit of course, which is even more infuriating where you are already late. So much for Alberta’s Autobahn.
But enough senseless rambling about weekend traffic patters. I have much more exciting things to talk about. Erika came down for the weekend, which was just beyond awesome. Erika is the girl I mentioned a few entries ago. We have been talking on the phone for a few months. We met for coffee In GP a little while ago which was the first time we had met in the flesh. I was worried this weekend was going to be kinda weird you know. I mean talking on the phone is one thing, or even having coffee once. Hanging out for an entire weekend is something else. I was like; What if I totally built up this false image of her? or What if I am totally not what she expects? What if she doesn’t like me? Bla Bla Bla!! Turns out all these worries were completely unfounded it was great. She was great! It was a little bit weird at first, but weird is kinda normal on any first significant encounter and it went away pretty quick. It was totally natural we talked and hung out watched the Hockey game. (Now how could you not be nuts about a girl who wants to grab a beer and watch the game?) We hit up Ikea, we even went out to a park to fly a kite (I know totally cheesy and cliché but it was still a lot of fun. After the kite flying came "the talk". Oh the dreaded talk, awkward, don’t want to lay all your cards on the table, what if? All that stuff all over again but I went for broke and it paid off (Ok I didn’t exactly "go for broke" but it sounds better than saying we stumbled through the conversation with minimal embarrassment) turns out she is as crazy about me as I am about her. The rest of the weekend was cloud nine we hung out with Dave and Jen some, I met her parents (they were already in Edmonton anyway). We went to church and she met the church folk. It was too awesome. Monday night toatlay sucked of course, as she left I realized I was going to be missing her like crazy now. It just did not seem fair. But God has a plan one way or the other so here we are and we take it as it comes. Anyway that’s my life. Keep it real.

This is She!
