The Sunday that was too long, and then ended too soon.
Being in a blossoming and new relationship is so exciting and at the same time it can be very agitating. Yesterday had to have been one of the longest days of my life. Seriously, I woke up at around 9ish and got ready for church. Did the whole church thing, which was wonderful and then came home. Tracey and I watched the Steelers game (who totally won and kicked the Colts butt!). And then I had about 3 hours to wait for 7 to roll around when I knew I would see Clint. Those three hours, were excruciating! I'm serious. I thought 7 would never come!
But when 7 o'clock finally came I was at church and there was Clint. We didn't say hi or talk until after service but that's ok because that allowed for me to focus on God and praise and learn. After service Clint went up to recieve prayer and I moved to where he and Tracey had been sitting and waited for him. It was very akward once he came back. Lately I've noticed that when I'm around him at the beginning I have a hard time opening up and talking. I just get so nervous. The fact that Tracey was standing there didn't help either. I was really hungry and wanted to ask Clint if he'd join me for dinner somewhere. But then Tracey stated that we needed to go to Walmart for groceries and Clint happened to need to go too, so we all went. As we walked out from church Clint was so freaking cute! He carried my bible for me and opened up doors for me. At first I almost just went through and opened my own doors but when I saw him make the effort, I couldn't very well not accept his generosity and kindness. He walked me to my car and then we parted to drive back to our apartment complex. You see... Tracey had made an elaborate plan on how we'd all get back to our apartments and then she'd drive Clint to his truck and then he'd come and pick us back up. Random and wierd, but funny.
Clint picked us up in his uberiffically hot Dodge truck and we all drove to Walmart. Then we all shopped. It was fun! Talking and shopping. Clint really only needed two things but he still went with us and even pushed my cart. I was a little embarrased because I was grabbing all sorts of things and just throwing them in the cart. I'd been gone for over 3 weeks and needed food! But oh well. Then there was the craziness of checking out which took forever. When I was finally done though, Clint had pulled up his truck to pick me up. So Sweet!
We all unpacked and unloaded. Clint was very helpful. He took the trash out for us, picked out a movie, and kept us company. I was very happy that he was there. I introduced him to Yellow-Tail Merlot and he and Tracey baked some pizzas. While the pizzas were in the oven I went to put a movie in. Clint had chosen Broken Arrow. Tracey sat in her big comfy chair which meant Clint was on the couch. In my mind I was pondering where on the couch would he sit. If he sat on one of the edges, I would then have to choose whether or not to sit next to him or be kind of stand off-ish and sit on the other end. Once the movie was in and I turned around, he had made the decision for me! He was sitting smack dab in the middle where my only option was to sit next to him. This overjoyed me to no end. Happily I planted myself next to him. Not too close.. but definately not too far either.
It was certainly a fun evening. I got to hang out more with my roommate which I think cements our bond more firmly as well as spend quality time in person with Clint. Halfway through the move Tracey went to bed because she was tired, she only had 2 hours of sleep from the previous night. So Clint and I finished the movie and then afterwards we half talked and half watched a part of a movie on t.v.
I couldn't stop admiring him. Not that he's the most handsomest guy in the world or anything. But, the more and more I learn about him, the more and more I grow to like him. Sometimes the things I learn frighten me, but I think it's only because part of me is still rather wordly. But then I look passed that and see just how amazing and wonderful those certain things are about him. I have met so few men like Clint, who hold such strong morals and a hunger and love for God.
