Wow…where do I even begin?
Well, I arrived in Halifax to see Sunshine (formerly known as K…who I am now just going to refer to as “Sunshine”, since that’s her online handle…not to mention she’s my light in the darkness and all that mushy blah blah blah stuff…) on Friday afternoon. She called me mid-journey on my cell and had been tweeting up a storm announcing my impending arrival.
So just as I was about 10 minutes away, she called my cell again. Instead of “Hello”, I answered in the only way I know how: being a smart-ass: “Why am I not there yet??” I could hear the excitement in her voice. We were literally bouncing off of each other and I wasn’t even there yet. I drove into the parking lot and quickly got out of the car with my suitcase in hand.
Then I saw her.
Let the Sunshine in...
To say that the chemistry was there from the very beginning would be an understatement. To say that I immediately fell for her all over again would be an understatement. I dropped everything and gave her a hug to end all hugs. This was a hug that, hopefully, would say everything I wanted to say before I actually had the chance to say it.
I was in love all over again.
Mind you, I loved her previously. A LOT. But without diving back into the reasons and excuses, just let it be said that I didn’t need much of a reminder of why I loved her in the first place.
The term “two peas in a pod” doesn’t even adequately describe what we’re like when we’re together. We actually joke around that people will end up hating us because we’re sooooo annoyingly loving and giddy and just plain silly when we’re together. We’re two thirty-somethings who act like teenagers when we’re together. And we’re totally unashamed of that.
See...I'm not the only one who mugs for the camera!
Without going into great detail, let me just say that our initial meeting was one of the most incredible experiences I can remember having. The first time seeing her. The hug. The words that we said to each other. I guess I’ll leave it at that…
Of course, she couldn’t resist throwing a bit of a tease on Twitter after T wondered what we were up to.
So after awhile we decided to go out to get some groceries. As we drove around downtown and we smiled…we laughed…we mugged for each other’s camera…we thoroughly enjoyed each other’s company.
It was how it should be.
So those green things are called "fiddleheads" and you actually EAT THEM???
After having way too much fun in the grocery store (including having discussions on the incredible existence of these things called fiddleheads), we made our way back to her place for some nachos and a movie.
It’s safe to say that although we had a lot to talk about (and we had done a lot of talking already in the day), it felt like those three months had been erased. We felt like we just stopped seeing eachother last week. It was an unique feeling…this incredible comfort zone that we share.
We decided on watching “Yes Man“…the latest Jim Carrey movie. Sunshine made the nachos and…well…I love cheese as much as the next guy, but WHAT THE HELL?
A hot woman and a sh*t load of cheese? Sign me up!!
Wow...that's WAAAAAY more cheese than necessary. I love it.
So that pretty much finished up Friday night. Well…at least it finished up all that you’re gonna hear about. Heh.

I glad that by what you have told us so far your reunion went well.

delurking to say this gives me hope for that same spark, someday.

LOVED and LOLed at the status pic in response to T’s tweet. HA HA HA!
Sorry to be lazy, but here’s what I put on your woman’s post tonight for a comment, because it applies here, too. Although, I will say that reading yours almost made me cry. Maybe because reading it from a guy’s perspective makes me more emotional…
“I am really enjoying reading your story. I started reading CBG a few months ago, so am happy to read your blog now, too. (And I was also wondering why the heck he was still single…)
You guys…make me feel all warm and squishy inside. You both seem like wonderful people who have found their other half. I am standing on the sidelines with one of those huge #1 foams on my finger, rooting for you.

I love Amira’s comment. I can’t top that.
Oh sweetie, you sound deliriously happy. And you deserve it SOOOO much.
I happy to see your heart again.
May 26th, 2009 at 11:57 am
Holy shit do I have a lot to catch up on.
Here I go. I’ll be back.
May 26th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Awesome! Sooooo jealous of the giddy teenage feelings you guys have.
May 26th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Hehehehe … I’m giddy right now.
May 26th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
You think YOU’RE giddy right now?? lol
May 26th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
I love a great connection. Sounds awesome you two!

Bobbi — Oh believe me when I say that our reunion has probably changed our lives. THAT’S just how well it went.
christine — I appreciate you taking the time to “de-lurk”. Thanks for the comment.
Amira — Y’know, you and T are probably the only two that could have given Momma Sunshine a run for her money (at least before this weekend…heh). You truly are an amazing woman and I cannot wait for you to find what you’re looking for because you absolutely deserve nothing less than the best.
And you’re right…I also feel like we’ve found our “other half”.
T — You know that K & I are both really rooting for you and the date this week. From what you’ve told me, he seems like an awesome guy. My fingers are crossed (we gotta talk soon).
QTMama — Where in the heck have YOU been?? Jeez…you disappear on some retreat where the last thing you tell people is that you’re sleeping with a woman. I mean c’mon now…you gotta start setting your priorities.
Danielle — It’s funny you say that, because that’s exactly how we feel when we’re around each other. We’re both in our 30′s and feel half that old when we’re together. It really is an amazing feeling.
dadshouse — Well…at least we can agree that the real deal is MUCH better than a toy. Heh.

*Sniff* Awww, thanks, CBG. Really. Now I feel even MORE squishy inside. I think that’s the nicest thing a guy has said to me in weeks (or is it months?).
You rock. No doubt about it. MS (abbreviation for your woman) is sooooooooooooooo lucky to have you. But then, she already knows that.
May 26th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
Mmm, cheese. Yay happiness!
May 26th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
Nice post. I’m glad to see everything is going well. I can’t wait for more. Hoping “yes” was the underlining theme for the night
May 26th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
So ahppy for you both!
May 26th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
So much so I’m going dyslexic!
May 26th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
Well, THANK GAWD. This is exciting to read on both of your blogs. very very happy for you both!!!
May 30th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
Wow I guess I better be better about reading and following along on your blog. LOL I haven’t read in awhile and I come back to this. How freakin exciting!!!!

Wow, its fun to read this again. Especially you guys rooting for my “date this week” from last year.
Ahhh… my Rascal.
Love ya’ll.
