Beginnings

I have been very happy lately. A lot has happened this past summer and I keep forgetting to write about any of it when I am in front of my laptop. So much information that I really don't think I can write down any of it. Too many situations where "you just had to be there" and it all went by in a blur, so it will all just stay in my head for now.
The biggest thing that happened is that I am now going out with one of my very close friends. After hanging out all summer around the city, going on random road trips together, and me visiting him out in DeKalb so many times... he finally asked me out! He is such an awesome guy. He really makes me happy. The weekend that he finally asked me to be his girlfriend after seeing him all summer was one of the best weekends ever. We were eating dinner at CPK afterwards and I was being giddy the whole time.
So yeh, right now I am very content with how things are. The only down side is that since he goes to NIU, I can only see him during the weekends when he isn't working or busy with friends and homework. I don't mind though since I know he has important things that he needs to do and will need some space. He needs his time alone to see other people and get his work done so he can get through this semester. I just can't wait until winter break, when we can finally see each other more often and not be so stressed. It will be so much fun to spend the holidays with him.
The second big thing that happened is that I moved into a new apartment. So far I have been liking being on my own. The roommates I can do without but I will deal with it and just enjoy being on my own again.
