God's precious blessings

It's been over a month since I last update and a lot of things had happened. I asked Maggie for dinner at Olive Garden (see last update below) and we eventually did on the Tuesday, Sept 13th. It was supposedly to be on that week's Thursday but our schedules would not allow.

The date COULDN'T HAVE GONE ANY BETTER. We ate and and talked like we usually did at Wendy's or Subway. She was so beautiful, her smile is so graceful, I felt lucky just being there to witness it. She's awesome. As torpe as I was, I did not talk anything about "feelings" during the dinner. After much self deliberation ("I already was on the date with her, I might as well reveal to her how I felt, right?") I just just summed up my feelings on the drive home (dorm). To my surprise (and I mean SURPRISE) she told me she didnt look at me as more than a friend until that Sunday before the first day we hung out. I was shocked. It was the same day I "remembered" how much I liked her. I was so shocked, I missed my turn. Upon getting home, we took a walk to the other side of the campus and she explained to me why she she told me it was a bad time last year when I first attempted to tell her I like her. I was on Cloud Nine. it is just amazing when a girl you have been crushing on and had been "rejected" by is professing her mutual attraction to you. We talked and talked until the sprinklers went on and we spend a good amount of time playing patintero with the water. We then went to the Volunteers office because she needed to get something. I held her hand and she did not let go. She just gave me her smile..

Two days later, two late night confusing conversations, we cleared things up by officializing the relationship. We changed our respective Facebook status. She is the sweetest girl in the world.

Again, alot of things had happened since then. We try to hang out as much as we can as our busy school schedules would allow. We've seen two late night movies on my laptop in the Vols office. hidden under the desks, we've gone to St. Ann's, gone to the Collision Tour concert, slept in the car, hung out in the Architecture glass house, among other things. We celebrated our first month on the last Friday (the 14th - the real monthsary is the 15th of October but we were both working) Everytime I look back, i felt very much loved and blessed by God. H know it's Him because every timing has worked out. I offer this relationship to Him.

Don't get me wrong. We've had trying times. We had to impose restrictions so we would not hang out too much and and forget about our school (believe me, this is a very tempting). But as St Escriva said, "to the modern apostle, an hour of study is an hour of prayer." We try to pray as hard we can.

I love how we can talk about everything. We can be ourselves around each other. We share the common love for God. She inspires me to be a better person and Christian. I am doing my best to be the best boyfriend in the world. Imperfect as I am, fumble many times and she was very understanding and forgiving. I could NEVER ask for any more.
