  Hi guys, just got back from THE FIRST DATE.  Ev called me this morningand asked me if I would like to have dinner with him tonight, after about 30 seconds of self debate I said sure.  So he said he would pick me up at 6:45 and we would head out.  He met me at the store at 6:45 on the dot. That was my idea, meeting at the store, even with my dogs, till I know he's really a good guy I dont want him to know where I live.  Anyway, he's chattering non stop about how was my day, my week, blah blah blah.  While he's driving, and finally I'm like where are we going, cause he was heading out in the boondocks and every alarm in me was going off!  He looks over at me and grins and he said " Princess tonight we are dining  at the top of the world."  I said You mean the Edge OF THE  WORLD?  That a local resturant on the edge of cliff, but we werent going in the right direction.  He just laughed and said JUst trust me, you are gonna love this. WE WENT ON A SUNSET HOT AIR BALLOON RIDE AND HAD A PICNIC IN THE AIR.  Oh my God it was awesome, it was perfect, it was something I've always wanted to do since I was a kid.  And he remembered from all those years ago that I wanted to see the mtns at sunset from a balloon. He didnt try to hold my hand or anything, he opened doors, and all the gentlemanly stuff. And when he got me back to my car he asked if he could have my cell # so he could call and make sure I got home safe.

   I cant believe I did it. I went on a real date and didnt come home feeling guilty. Thats all thanks to you 3 angels.  AND I HAD FUN. The balloon pilot, I guess thats the right term for the person flying it. Took a picture of us standing in the basket with the sunsetting behind us, I dont know what the altidtude was but it was way cool. I'll post the pic as soon as I get one. The guy said it would be Tuesday before he got the film developed and mailed.

I love you 3 gals you know this right? Without you girls to help me sort my thoughts and get straight on the path once more I would have missed a life long dream. The Balloon Ride, not the guy. But he was very sweet. Although I did threaten to toss him over the side, because of the Barbershop Quartet. He was oh so innocent acting about it, what are you talking bout woman, a barbershop quartet you say, nope I dont know a thing about that. Then I told him he needed to get out and start walking for fibbing to me. He just laughed and said he was talented but not enough to walk on air.

  I had to write Jessica up at work,  for neglecting her duties and staying on her cell phone at work, which is against company policy.  She is so mad at me, but hey work is work and it was write her up or get wrote up myself for failing to enforce company policies, I hated it, but I did it.

   Hope all is well with all you . Thanks again for everything guys. I do love ya. 

David, Thank you for letting  me know its ok, that I can still live here and be back with you one day on the otherside. I miss you and no matter what you will always be the one my heart belongs to. You took the last little bit of it with you when you left that day. And I'm glad, cause that means it can never be hurt again. Love you baby.
