The Declaration

I finally showed my hand last night.

After much consideration and anxiety, I told FoxyLady that I loved her. I felt like I couldn't keep it in any longer, and as many friends had advised, I went ahead and poured out my heart.

To some, it might be gutsy, to others an unwise decision, but I do not regret it. She seemed overjoyed with my confession and it set off a multitude of butterflies in my stomach. I think she felt them too.

Even though I wasn't the first to admit feelings of love, I still managed to feel self-conscious and awkward afterwards. Looking at her face, and the way she smiled at me, no wait, FOR me, I knew that everything was right. I had found my way home.

She said, "I love you too, Reese."

Gosh, just thinking about that moment makes me heartachingly happy.

Since I was on a roll with baring my soul, I also chose that moment to tell her about my blog, Revisionist Reese. I had said to her, "I also want to be completely honest and open with you. I have a blog."

She didn't know what the word "blog" meant so I had to explain. She later admitted to me that she thought that I was confessing that I had some sort of disease! Ha ha ha ha ha.

"Yes, honey. I want you to know that I'm suffering from blog."

How cute. Anyhow, she hasn't read it yet, but I look forward to her thoughts on it. *Reese waves ecstatically* "Hi Sweetie!"

After dinner, we went to my local park to hang out for a little while and enjoy the momentous occasion. Since it was raining, we were completely alone for a change... except for one other car. The driver of the car was driving slowing around the parking lot, doing laps at 5 km/h, and signalling each turn. He was driving so slowly and methodically that FoxyLady and I burst out laughing for what seemed like 20 minutes. I think we thought the whole sight so absurd that we were trying to figure out what this poor guy was trying to do.

Reese's Theory - He's practicing for the Molson Indy, and failing miserably.
FoxyLady's Theory - He told his parents he went away, and is desparately trying to add kilometers to the odometer.

I don't know. I just get a kick out of our strange way of thinking.
