Unexpected Surprises

I always like unexpected surprises. Those things that seemingly just pop out of the blue and they make your day, or week, or month, or year, and sometimes possibly your lifetime. This has definitely been a week of unexpected surprises for me.

First I was surprised by how much fun I had speed dating.

The second big surprise came on Wednesday evening. I was wanting one certain guy to contact me that I had matched with the night before but was half expecting to not hear from any of them. But at 5:30 I received an e-mail from the one I had hoped to hear from, Jeremy. And about 2 minutes later I got an IM from him. After 5 hours, a sore neck from sitting at the computer, and my cheeks hurting from smiling and laughing so much, we arranged to meet up for lunch today.

Third surprise was not such a good one. Wednesday night I just could not fall asleep. My brain was running 100 mph around and around in circles. I kept thinking about things we had talked about in our conversation that night and anticipating seeing him the next day. Finally I fell asleep at about 5:30. Once I fell I asleep I guess I was sleeping very hard because I slept right though my alarm. I woke up at 8:10 in a panic! I had a class I had to teach at 8:15 and the school was 20 minutes away. However, that lead to my Fourth surprise.

I realized that since I was going to Vandergriff the other music teacher was there. So I called quickly and had her start the lesson for me and I arrived 25 minutes late to class. I told Ede that I owe her dinner after we get paid!

Then came the fifth surprise. Jeremy came and picked me up from school for lunch. All of the my friends at school were all so excited too. One of them even came to my class and made me wear her earrings because they went so well with my outfit.

The sixth one wasn't really a surprise because I knew it was going to happen but it was good anyway. Jeremy drove all the way from his job in Bentonville to take me to lunch and then turn around and go back to work. We had a great time just chatting and I even ran into the director of the Wesley Foundation on campus who I hadn't seen in like 4 years. He didn't recognize me at first, that is always fun! After our lunch at Atlanta Bread Company Jeremy took me back to school. Where I was instructed by my friends that I had to take a picture of him so they could see him.



The last surprise was later this afternoon. Jeremy is going out of town on Friday afternoon to go and visit his family. Since we wouldn't have a chance to see each other for 4 days he wanted to have lunch again. I told him that I only get 30 minutes for lunch on Friday's. So then he suggested that he just bring me lunch. So needless to say now he is driving 30 minutes from Bentonville just to bring me lunch tomorrow.

This has been quite the whirlwind three days. I really don't know where all of this is leading but I am enjoying the ride none the less!
