New Beginnings
Now, be honest, this new beginning made it's debut February 11th of this year. Still, it's something I want to share. I'm only surprised that it took this long to think of doing it.
Though, I must admit, Pinky, the one responsible for my/our new beginning, brought this to my attention. She said she read my blog and thought to herself "he's talking about the bad stuff in his life and hasn't mentioned any of the good stuff we experienced together. What's up with that?" I tried to explain to her that the blog was created to vent and rant. People don't care to hear what ultimately amounts to soapbox preaching or a pity party. After some time, however, I asked myself the same question.
Her name is Pinky.
We work together. Not in the same building, but for the same agency. Sometimes our jobs require that we make an appearance at the other building. I had to make one such visit and worked on a couple of computers in her office. Her office mate said "Pinky helps us out when we have problems, that's why you hardly hear from us," just after Pinky walked in. I turned to see a woman who I felt I had to get to know.
I tried to talk to her and got no response, as though she ignored me due to a lack of interest. I later found out that she had on headphones and couldn't hear me. She really felt an interest for me too.
It took me three months and her reminding me I promised her lunch to finally work up the nerve to invite her. Another two weeks after that to actually follow through with it.
Lunch was nice, and ended with us recognizing that we had a mutual interest in dating each other. I tried to take it slow and she went along with it only to find out that slow was simply too slow. I believe that our conversations contributed to that. We spoke on the phone a lot and realized we both had the same views as far as relationships (honesty being key), marriage, family, friendship, and life in general. I was quickly realizing that this was the woman I'd wanted. Our conversations were also causing me to fall rather quickly for her. Seeing her in person didn't help my taking it slow either. She has an outstanding, bubbly personality with a beautiful round face with wide eyes and full lips and an attractive body. As a side note: I love that men are often hitting on her. And that leads me to this statement: I finally know what it feels like to fully trust a loved one without fear betrayal. Also, knowing the what you're feeling for the other person is mutual is absolutely awesome. It makes me feel like I can move the Earth itself.
During all those rants, complaints, and pity parties, I knew this experience existed. I just wasn't sure whether I'd ever get the chance. Thank you, God. Thank you, Pinky, the love of my life and my BabyGirl.
Another side note: She knows my daughter was BabyGirl long before she came around and has no problems with Lexy being BabyGirl No. 1. Because of that and many, many other reasons, I will make Pinky BabyGirl, the wwife version.
