Brad and I got together tonight. I went to his place and then we went out to dinner. At dinner, we decided to have margaritas. But I didn't care for mine so Brad ended up having his and almost all of mine. We had a nice dinner and nice conversation as usual. By the time we left Brad was just a little tipsy. It think it was the first time I heard him really laugh. When we got back to his house he was petting the cat and I put my face close to the cat and there was a little shock between us and the cat jumped back a foot. Brad thought this was so funny. He was really laughing. It was funny watching him laugh so hard about it. We then spent a few hours laying on the couching talking and relaxing. Brad was getting sleepy after awhile so I decided I should go. We had a very nice evening talking and relaxing. I think I was jabbering too much but he said I wasn't. He's a great guy.

Brad invited me over for lunch today. It was going to be his first attempt at cooking for me. He decided to make spaghetti. When I got to his house he told me of possibly having lunch with his friends so we held off on making lunch. I think he was glad because he already had some fear of adding meat to the sauce. He was unable to choose ground beef at the market so he nixed the meat idea. Probably a good idea. So we sat around and talked about all kinds of things and he showed me all his photo albums. I was able to see what he looked like when he was young. Cute pictures! Then he sat on the couch and I rested my head in his lap while we talked some more. Then his friends Mark, Jim, and Frank showed up and we had some nice conversation with them. Then we went to eat at Silver Diner. His friends are very nice and I enjoyed meeting them and talking with them during dinner (lunch turned into dinner because of the late hour). Then we came back to his house and his friends went home. Brad and I talked for a little while longer. We talked about the possibilities of dating. After discussing the benefits of dating and Brad's fear of the longevity, he decided it would be okay if we dated. So we are going to continue to see each other. Makes me happy. I had a very nice time with him and look forward to spending more time with him in the future.

As I think about going back to work tomorrow after being off for two weeks I find myself reflecting on the past week and thinking about the people I've spent time with and how much I've enjoyed it. I hope the people mentioned in recent posts aren't bothered by my entries. And for Brad’s friends (I think Sam and Mark…but forgive me if I got the names wrong) I hope you enjoy the updates.
