What a weekend! All through last week I was restless, waiting for Tyler to come home. Finally he came home.

I now understand what it feels like to finally see someone when it has been a lifetime since you have seen the.  The shock of him actually standing there on my back driveway after so long of a wait can be summed up in one word. Intense.

Yes, Intense. But I recovered quickly and gave him the hug and (Oh, so Sweet) kiss that I had promised him.  It lasted only an instant but seemed an eternity. And yet still, all too short. We then walked into the house and I introduced him to my Mom. (God that was weird). Then we left my house.  He took me to a place that we had been to once before.  When we were there before, we cuddled and took a nap in the shade. The day was hot. This time when we went there it was cool and dark.  We went to a park that is just on the waters edge at the Columbia River.  We went down to the waters edge and found a rock to sit on and then we cuddled up and watched the planes and the water. We talked very little, but then at that moment in time, I don’t think that we needed to. Everything at that moment was perfect.           

After that we went to Shari’s and he sat across from me. Here is where all of the talking took place. One thing that I will note, even though he was across from me, I was holding his legs.  I don’t think that there was a moment that night that we were not touching in some way.

Finally we made it to his house.  I won’t go into a whole lot of details. But I will say this. It was well worth the wait. Every moment I was there I was happy. I was never given a reason not to be. All I was given was reasons to smile.

The next morning we went to the Vancouver Firehouse and I had a lot of fun. We went with his family. I get the impression that they all kind of like me.

After that we went back to his house and hung out. Now is where it gets kind of interesting. We went to dinner with Christian. Now this is the first time I have said this, but even though Christian is my greatest friend and Ally, he is also my ex for one reason or another. So yeah, you can imagine what that was like. But like a true friend he came through for me in the end. He was really nice. And he told us that he hopes that it works between us and that he will do what he can to help. A true friend indeed. And some said that a friendship wouldn’t work between us. J

After dinner we went back to his place and watched the news about MT. St. Helens for awhile (cuddling of course) and then we went to bed.

He is an amazing cuddler, kisser, and all around just amazing. Christian asked us that night what it was about each other that we liked so much. Man, talk about a toughie! It isn’t that I don’t know what it is about him that I like, it is more a matter of I can’t do him any justice. Anything that I say, the words that I would use would sound like the braying of an ass to what he really is. So I fumbled and did my best. But only began to touch the obvious things. The things that I could manage to put to words.

Sunday was a hard day for me. He left Sunday. I missed him the second that I walked through my front door and knew that he was going a long ways away from me again.

I want this thing to between us to work, more than anything in the world right now. I don’t want to mess it up.  This time I want to do things right.

I hope to God that this works!
