I was having the most fantastic day ever. I went on a date. It wasn't any regular date. It was a first date - with the man that would become my husband a little over a year later. I'd had a SERIOUS crush on this guy for about 6 months before he finally asked me out. He picked me up and took me to lunch at Fortune Wok. We had good conversation and we both had a great time. As we were getting ready to leave the restaurant, he asked if I wanted to play a game of putt-putt golf. I had no desire to go home and after a round of golf, I had won the game! Brian mentioned several times during the date that he was having a great time. He told me a few more times on the way home, and dropped me off. Incredibly excited, I raced up the stairs in my apartment to tell my roommate Emily every single detail. Mid story, my phone rang! It was Brian! My heart pounded with excitement as I said 'hello'. However, he said that he had been thinking a lot about our date and had decided that he didn't think it was a good idea. I was confused. He'd told me he'd had a great time - several times. What had happened in the last ten minutes? Then he said, "April Fools." I was silent for a few moments because I really wasn't sure what to think. I was relieved, but I didn't think it was very funny. I'm pretty sure my silence let him know that saying that wasn't a good idea. He spent the rest of the day apologizing with more phone calls and e-mails. I was so glad he was joking! He gets teased plenty about doing this to me. :)
This is a picture from a few weeks after our first date - the day after we became boyfriend and girlfriend! I'm so glad I got to marry him! It has been a fantastic 4 years!
I'm still enjoying being pregnant - for the most part (my darn feet take away some of the enjoyment - see previous post)! I'm starting to feel a little bad for Brian though. His sleeping space is getting smaller and smaller as I keep needing more and more pillows to make myself comfortable when I sleep. He also tells me that I have started snoring :). Poor guy.
I was just at the doctor on Monday and I'm healthy, no worries, the Dr says this is normal. But in all seriousness - I totally can't complain. This pregnancy has been a breeze and a joy. This is the worst thing that has happened. Gross though...it doesn't even look like my foot! Please pardon my pasty pale skin. It will stay this way this year. There's no chance I'll get my post pregnancy body anywhere near a swimming pool this summer - a bummer since it is literally across the street!
