A hitch in my giddy-up?

I have been lazy and haven't written in a long while.  Seems I have been too busy with other things; be it Leon Phelps, the ladies dog or well Bud Light to be honest...  But more recently-much more recently which honestly kind of scares me- I have a new occupier of my time and she goes by the name Elizabeth.

It is a very strange story that seems to be more fitted to a Hollywood romantic comedy than my life.  Over a year and a half ago, during a late breakfast at the Cracker Barrel up in "Crestucky" my friend Jill and I meet this awesome hostess with whom I shamelessly flirted.  She kept coming around so I kept flirting.  After breakfast I thought to myself, "Damn, that girl was really cool.  I wish I could see her again."  Lucky for me, Jill says, "I got her number."  After a number of texts, Elizabeth and I end up exchanging numbers and continuing to chat.

The following weekend, in one of my more stalker- no wait scratch that, obsessive follower, stalker sounds creepy- moves, I drive all the way up to have breakfast just to see her again.  I had the Strawberry Shortcake for dessert and it was fabulous!  After that visit, I tricked, I mean convinced her to see me outside of work.  We had a great date just walking around a park.  That was the last time I saw her.  Nothing bad happened, we just stopped talking.  She went to New York for a couple of weeks, then I went TDY for a few and we just grew apart.

Here is where the story gets all Hollywood.  Nursing a pretty righteous hangover last Saturday morning, Jill calls me up and asks if I remembered Elizabeth from Cracker Barrel.  Turns out, she had been trying to contact me and no longer had my number.  So I told Jill to give it to her.  Not 2 hours later I get a text message from her.  We text nonstop for the next two days and she decided to come to town to visit me.  These last few days have been incredible and I can't recall ever having had a better time with someone other than my family.  We are just so comfortable around each other.  It is almost intoxicating.  Or that could be the Bud Light...no, I just opened my second.  Definitely her!  

Now here is where the hitch comes in.  Before her, I had these great plans to move back to Phoenix and I still really want to.  But on the other hand I don't want to lose her AGAIN!  She knows of my plans and it doesn't scare her off and obviously it is way too soon to ask her to move across country.  I only have 140 some days left and need to start making plans.  I am still scared that this is too good to be true.  Some freaky 4 day dream maybe...I don't know.  Like I said, things like this happen in movies, they don't happen to me.  Help me, Jebus!

  1. Ah, young love... I'm glad you are having fun baby Chad! She sounds fabulous!

    Why not make two sets of plans? Phx plans and FL plans, so you have a contingency either way. Then at the last minute you can cancel the one that won't work out. Just don't pay any deposits...

    I can't wait to visit with you next week!!
