update!

So, if you're reading this, then you probably already know about Bethany, but what you know was what I told you after knowing her for a couple of days. Well, we're still seeing each other, like every day. I honestly haven't been this happy in years. I mean, I already loved my job, but now its even better because I walk around most of the day smiling. I think it even confuses some people, which is amusing. But its so strange, we've only been seeing each other for two weeks and we're already close enough that it feels like wayyyy longer. I mean, I don't presume too much--it has only been two weeks, I can't pretend that I know her really really well, but I know her a lot better than anyone else I've known for only two weeks. I mean, honestly, if I think back to before I met her, the idea of not knowing her seems so odd, like there was this blatant vacancy in my life and I'm in disbelief that it was there because I feel like I've known her for so much longer. And, I don't know if this sounds shallow or what, but if I had ever made a list of ideal qualities in a girl that I'd like to be with, it really seems like every box would be checked, and this is weird. Not in a bad way, not at all--its really really good. Its just that a month ago I still had that feeling of hopelessness somewhere in my subconscious that I would never find someone like this, and now I have. It just seems like everything that could possibly be wrong with her isn't, and on top of it, I can't get enough of her. I mean, there is a large part of me that is dreading not seeing her for a week on this Nags Head vacation we're about to take, and I just try not to think about how much I will miss her when I go back to Blacksburg. Although I guess I'll have to think about it eventually so it doesn't hit me like a ton of bricks, although it probably will anyway. And yet, even though I know I go back in a little more than a month, the fact that I actually get a month more of summer to spend with her is awesome. It just seems like time is a much more precious commodity now. Anyway, thats really all I have to say; there are probably other things going on in my life too, but honestly I don't know or much care about them right now. Moments with her are too precious to let slip by while I worry about lesser things. Anyway, that's about it. If you read this you will likely meet her fairly soon.
