It's only getting better...

Kickball is over but E and I both want to stay active during the week (plus its another excuse to spend time together, like we need one) so we introduced "Monday Funday." We basically take turns planning a fun activity for each other. Last week was my week to plan so I took us to Sea Life at the Mall of America. It was totally cheesy, but we both had a blast. I've always been fascinated with Sharks, and this underground aquarium didn't disappoint.


TOTALLY inappropriate but he has a cute tush. :)

This week was E's turn to plan a Monday Funday activity but he needed to re-schedule and planned a Terrific Tuesday event instead, and it was terrific! We went bowling, had pizza, beer, and played darts. We laughed, a lot, and I even manged to beat him (I think he let me) in the last game.  It was a wonderful night with a wonderful guy.

After bowling and darts, we headed back to his place and chilled out on his couch and talked. We always joke with each other on how we jump from one topic to the next. Conversation is always flowing which I think is a good thing. It's rare if we have moments of silence. I'm not sure how we got on the topic, but E ended up telling me a story about when he was a kid, him and his friends wrote letters to themselves, put it in a time capsule, and promised to read the letters later on in life. Well, unfortunately... those letters are still buried in someones backyard but the curiosity of what was written is still fresh on E's mind. I thought the story was cute, and it showed me a sentimental side of him which totally melted my heart even more, until he said the following:

"We should write letters to ourselves and to each other, bury them, and then read them to each other in a year."

Are you for real??! My heart was bursting at the seams. I couldn't believe he would think of such a creative and unique not to mention incredibly romantic gesture. I fell asleep smiling from the inside out while thinking to myself  "Oh... this is only going to get better!"

The more time I am spending with E, the more I am starting to like him and dare I say, fall for him?? I'm glad we are keeping things in the friend zone. I think it's a safe and smart place to be, for now. But, I can't deny that my feelings for him are growing and the curiosity of what could be excites me to no end. I find myself thinking about him during the day, and my heart skips a beat when a text comes through. It's hard to be patient but wonderful things come to those who wait. I dislike our goodbyes, but savor every hug. He's a good hugger. Full arm embrace, and holds me for just a few seconds. I keep hoping that one of these days, a good night hug will be followed by a good night kiss. I wont make the first move... I'm following his lead on this. So far, it's lead me to something beautiful.
