So I met a guy here. Adam. He's awesome. So awesome. Fun, kind, service-oriented. Catholic and faith-filled. Loves family and friends. Has listened to me, supported me, helped me grade papers. Checked on me, made me meals, taken me out. He has prayed with me and shopped with me (for Christmas stuff-not regularly!) He went to my staff Christmas party and met my family and allowed me to meet his. And now we're dating.
I realized today that it has been only 4 days longer than a month since I even developed a crush on him. And today I just feel overwhelmed by this new relationship. Is there such a thing as too close too fast? Because that is how I feel right now. How many things have I put on the back burner because of the time I've spent with him? I've definitely gotten a lot less sleep. I think all my Christmas gifts I meant to make will be late now because I haven't started any of them. At least most of my shopping is done. But for anyone reading this, know that your cards and/or gifts will be late because they're still in the bags I bought over Thanksgiving.
I am so glad to have someone new in my life who seems to care about me, but today I felt more panicked about it than anything. I hope that's not completely abnormal. I think I just need a little time: for myself, for my projects and personal things, and for letting this relationship just go where it's meant to go.
I don't think that's abnormal! Starting a new relationship is sort of an all-consuming kind of activity, and I think it's totally normal to feel a bit thrown off. I don't think anyone minds late Christmas presents in the name of love, though. =) Thinking of you and praying for you! Love you, Miss K!!
