Back From Vacation

I returned late Monday from a vacation with a girl that I have become very very close with over the last four months. We went to visit her hometown and I was able to meet her family and friends. The trip was so much fun and I don’t think I would have wanted to spend my remaining holiday vacation time at work for this year any other way.
It was so incredible to be able to spend so much time with this girl. We’ve grown so close and are so connected, open and honest with one another. Needless to say, this trip was a great test – we were hoping to discover how we would fare spending so much time together, hoping to figure out how sick of one another we would get. The only form of sickness I have is not being with her right now. We spent our entire days together running around to various places for visits and activities. By the end of the day we always had so much to talk about and winding down together was so peaceful and nice. I’ve never felt so excited and happy and I’ve never shared so much of myself with someone before.
The two of us were hoping that our flight back home would be cancelled so that we’d be forced to stay another night – neither of us keen to have our visit and time spent together end. One of our planes seemed to have trouble moving and we looked at each other with gaping smiles and high-fived. It was fun to entertain the thought of staying longer, but we did manage to get back home on schedule.
Overall, I feel very excited as mentioned and very happy and eager to see where things will go from here. I know that our meeting and many of the things that have happened between us are no coincidences. Apparently neither was this trip. As mentioned in my earlier post titled Expensive Mistake, I had given the individual who’s car I had bumped $1600. On my desk the day I returned from my trip was a cheque from said individual. The total amount that he gave back to me was pretty much the exact total value of my (discounted) plane ticket and the amount I spent on my trip together. I don’t believe in coincidences like these. This was a grace, no doubt! For whatever reason this trip was supposed to have happened and the fact that it brought this wonderful girl and I even closer than we already were is very cool. I’m going to see her today during my lunch break. Can’t wait.
