:: …so I get in my car, crank it up and turn up the music,
only to turn it back down so I could hear myself pray..lol! I don’t remember my exact prayer, but I know
it went something like this…Dear God, thank you for the opportunity to meet
this guy, thank you for everything. You know my heart, and you know my intentions.
Father please send your angels to protect me and watch over me, I cancel every
evil plan that the enemy may have and I commit to not compromise…I am your
daughter and I want your will to be done in my life…let your light shine
through me and let your word be my guide. In Jesus name I pray, Amen…then I
started to say, please let him smell good God, please don’t let him have on
pointy cowboy boots, please don’t let him be WEIRD, please don’t let him ask me
stupid questions, please don’t let him try to make-out with me, and please GOD,
PLEASE don’t let him try to shut me up if I talk about you….lol…somewhere between the light at the Lovington Highway and
Navajo, passing the movie theatre and arriving at Pacific Rim, my silly petitions
gave me the giggles….I couldn’t believe
I was going on a date, I couldn’t believe I was now comfortable with going, I
couldn’t believe that a little over a
month ago, I was on my knees, in my bedroom, crying out to God and telling him
how sometimes, I get lonely. And asking why he wasn’t doing anything about it, and begging to know what
was going on with my spirit..…could this be the one sent from you God…or is it
just another device from the enemy……could this be my future husband…or will it
be like the last one….hmm…whatever it is…I was there at the restaurant, and
there was absolutely no turning back now..…
……I checked my teeth, making sure there was no red lipstick
on them or around my mouth, stiffed my hair back and then parted it again..lol.
Why do women do that? Fix their hair only to put it back the way it was? Beats
me, but I’ve done it forever..!! I check my cell phone, the time is 8:56, and
he should be here I thought, but his truck isn’t here…hmmm… Maybe I didn’t pay
attention to what he told me he drove…whatever, just go in already girl….
“Hi, is it just you tonight?” the hostess asks me. “No, I’m
actually meeting someone here. Is there a guy here sitting alone?”
“No, but let me double check.” …she goes and does a search
of the restaurant….while she’s gone, I get my phone out and send him a text…. ”Hey,
I’m hereJ.”….no
reply is what I got.
“No mamm, there isn’t anyone here alone. Would you like some
water while you wait?” “Umm..no thanks I’m
fine!”……water was the last thing I wanted I was freakin hungry not thirsty…lol…
…I take a seat on the waiting bench…ughhhhh where is
he?...freaking loser guy, I knew this was a bad idea, don’t you look dumb.
Hahaha. ..then a text came in, it’s exactly 9pm…oh it must be him….
“Sorry I held him up!” said the text from an unknown
number..… I smiled, because knew exactly who it was..… “It’s ok E.. J “
“It’s because I need his truck for something. He’s on his
way!”…said the next text..Praise the Lord; I have time to use the bathroom. …I
go, do my thing, walk back and take a seat again…30 seconds later, the door
opens letting in a cool breeze, and I
see a guy walking in with gorgeous flowers….my heart said those are mine and
this is him……aghhhhhhh!!!
…Thinking I was already seated.. He begins to look in the
dining area…LOL…dork! “Hey you!” I said in my not so grown up voice..…he turns,…”
Oh hi!” gives me a hug and hands me the flowers…”Sorry I’m late, E needed my
truck and made me take his car and blah blah blah.”.. “Totally cool dude, don’t
worry about it…he already text me to let me know!” …That E…sure is a good guy, looking out for
his friend and all…omg God, what kind of boot’s were those…is his man wearing
Doc’s….hmm, that’s a nice Aeropostale shirt , and these flowers are amazing,
boy he smells good, ask him what kind of cologne that is…….wow, he looks nothing
like his pic …thank God. Keep in mind we aren’t even at the table yet, lol…. I’m
telling you, my mind works 50 miles a minute… We get to the table, he pulls out
my chair, takes my purse and places it in the empty chair next to mine….lol…OMG,
this dude is old school…hmm…. He sits down……..he looks at me, and I blurt out….
“Dang dude, you look all buff and stuff, and really young,
nothing like your pics!” …OMG did you just say that. What the heck, calm down…lol…lol..lol…too
late now.. :/ remember what your cousin said…”Just be yourself…yeah Monica….that
was totally you…
“You think so? I haven’t worked out in a while.” He replied…and
may I add with a smile on his face that could have lit up Dallas… lol….the
waiter comes, takes our drink orders and we start up a chat…… what followed
were a California Sushi Roll, chicken fried rice, and a soup that I wouldn’t have
eaten even if dared to for a million bucks…something about creamy WHITE soups
makes me eeeeerk….stories about his years in the navy, ( I think..lol) and time
spent in Japan that kept me quite on the
edge of my seat. And as I ate dinner I
said omg, why had I never been here before? How long has this restaurant been
here? Omg this SUSHI is amazing..…it took everything in me not to eat it all…lol!
Don’t be a fatty Monica, don’t be a fatty…act like you only want 3……quit
staring at the SUSHI Monica…….keep talking…hurry up, drink a bunch of water…….”So
you wanna coach baseball, that’s so neat! You like kids?”…Omg, imagine what you
and him could do for so many kids….shut up that’s like not even an option right
now……I eat, he eats, we talk, and I try super hard to not pay attention to my phone.
It overwhelmed me and almost made me tear up at how many of my friends and
family were thrilled that I was on a date…..boy do I have an audience I thought…God,
you are so good to me…I never thought you would use me like this…how on Earth
is this going to bring you glory…..don’t worry about that right now…you focus
on that last piece of sushi… “Are you going to eat that last piece…lol?”
“No, go ahead!”….yeah you better let me have this last piece
I thought…lol…lol..lol…OMG…this guy is cool, I don’t care what no one says….lol.
….finishing up dinner I realize that it was like ten minutes
till closing…and seeing that most of the employees were around high school age,
I thought, hurry up and get out of here, these kids want to go have fun tonight…
we finish and we get up to leave, he
pays and I will admit…I got kind of sad
that the “date “ was ending. SOOOOO I said “Want to go with me to Wal-Mart, I
have some things I need to get for tomorrow’s car wash?”……absolutely positive
that he would say no, I was a bit shocked when he said “Sure, let’s take E’s
car!” …Ummmm ok……thank God E drives a nice Yukon….bahahahahahaha…..don’t judge
me, but guys that drive nice cars, well, it says a lot about them…shows they
work hard to have nice things, they care about what they are riding their
families in and point blank, nice cars are nice cars….totally off the subject
but…had E not had a nice car, I probably wouldn’t have been as excited to go in his car…..lol!...I get in the
passenger seat of E’s car, my date buckles up, I buckle up, and I watch the lil
navigation screen as he backs up……Oh God……please
don’t let there be a lot of people at Wal Mart……
:) lol...I 'll post the amazing ending tomorrow. :)
loves
~Monica
