Okay, after 12 years, I am back dating as some of you know. And living vicariously through you guys is nice and gives me courage to allow myself to have fun too. I never thought I'd get that butterfly feeling when I see a guy's number on the caller id or that I'd get ath wonderful tense/excited feeling just before that first kiss. But I AM!

So new guy and I are going out again this weekend (date #5). He is sweet and funny. He seems perfectly happy to take things slow. Most of all, when I'm out with him I let myself just enjoy the moment. I don't have any expectations and each time we talk or see each other, we have a great time.

He knows that while emotionally my marriage is over that there are still some legal pieces to be worked out (and that occupies my mind at times). He knows my kids come first and their schedules and needs come before romance. He says he just wants to be a bright spot in my life and build a friendship with some romance too. Sounds good to me.

Well, I just felt like sharing that excitement that is the start of a new little romance.

Hope everyone is having a good week.
