*In the night, I hear them talk the coldest story ever told. Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul to a woman so heartless.*
It's been a little chilly lately due in much part to the biting cold temperatures of January. My toes have since recovered from a particularly brutal snow storm on New Year's Eve. Katelyn and I risked possible frost bite and hypothermia in an effort to look cute in our New Year's dresses and I'd say the results of our efforts were definitely worth it. Despite the obvious winter winds, I've been feeling a bit more of the "metaphorical" chill and some of the ones I hold near and dear are responsible for my inner chill to the bone.
Glenn and I are now a couple. Yay! :) It's the official blog announcement. Some people are surprised, some saw it coming from a mile away, some are just plain old happy that I found myself a really great guy and some are downright upset about it. And me? Little old me? (How nice of you to ask how I'm feeling about this.) I'm just really happy and content! I have a best friend and a boyfriend all wrapped up in one. I don't think a girl could get any luckier.
Now here's my piece (my scarf and hat if you will) to defend against some bitter and chilly reactions I've received to this news. Glenn and I have been friends from the minute I met him way back in July during the Neil Hamburger show at The Living Room. We were just friends and as much as it was glaringly obvious to everyone else, I truly just saw him as that; a friend. As for the start of our romantic relationship? All I can say is it all kind of ...happened, as those things often do. Blame it on Holiday magic? Who knows? All I know is he stuck by me unflailingly through so much and it just dawned on me that I had a wonderful guy right in front of me who would do anything to be with me; a quality that has been severely lacking in my boyfriends of the past. I deserve someone like him and I'm so happy that I finally put my past behind me and opened myself up to something really wonderful.
I'm sorry if my decision to settle down with this amazing person has upset any of my beloved friends but hear me out.... if I mean to you, what you mean to me, you'd find a way to understand that this is the best thing for me. I hate to lose friends, especially the important ones, but if that's what has to happen; I'll sacrifice. Because honestly, if a friendship could end over the start of something else, it was never much of a friendship to begin with, now was it?
I feel at peace with where I am right now. I have put my inner relationship demons to rest for now. I feel safe as houses with Glenn and it's nice to finally let myself have that with someone again. I guess you could say his unwavering faith in me led to all of this. Through everything I went through in the past few months, that boy never gave up on me I guess it just goes to show you that nice guys don't always finish last.
That's it for now folks! I hope my blog will still be interesting without all my inner romantic turmoil. :)
