Something So Sweet

Patrick stopped by the house on his way out of town with flowers in hand. Seriously. I haven't gotten flowers from a guy for a really long time. I'm not really a flower girl (meaning, I think there are better ways to spend your money but...) I appreciate the thoughtfulness of them. My grandma has been sick for a couple of days and I went to visit her in the hospital today. She doesn't look good, I'm worried. Patrick sent me a text message that I got right as I was leaving the hospital. It was perfect timing. Just a sweet message. So the flowers were a follow up to our earlier messages.

Before Patrick arrive at my house, my in-laws showed up. They occasionally stop by to see the grand kids. It was so nice of them to come and my kids love having them come over. Patrick arrived a few minutes later. I think this could have been one of those awkward moments, but I kept Patrick out on the front porch (not really ready to introduce him to the kids) and grandpa and grandma stayed inside with the kids. It was just a quick hello/good-bye with Patrick. He said he'd call me sometime this weekend. He is headed home for a backpacking trip with his family. They are going to bury a time capsule for his brother that recently died.

He really is such a sweet guy and I totally love his blue eyes. Today he showed up with that five o'clock shadow thing going on which I love. I'm having fun and really enjoying this dating experience.

PS - to all you girls who have stalked him on facebook: keep all the comments coming; I love all the emails that I have been getting.
