YAY!!!

I am so excited!!!! I had today off and decided I needed to get Brian out of the house. So we went out and decided to go take a look at a Ford Escape that I found. Thank god I took Brian with me...he is really awesome with that kind of shit....so I really liked this '02 Escape, they wanted $19,999 for it! I am about $4,000 in the hole on my van so that totally wasn't working because my payment had to be somewhere around $380/mo! That's more than $100 more than I'm paying now. No way I could do that, so we went in to talk to the financial manager and he got me in to an '05 Escape with only 17,000 mi on it for $327/mo, I couldn't believe it. This is a lease option but turns out to be an outstanding deal! The new one isn't here yet but I get to pick it up on Thursday. I'm so excited, I can't wait! Cheyenne is going to completely freak out. We kind of talked about it a bit tonight and she freaked out again that we were not going to get a new car. She's gonna be a bit surprised when I come to pick her up in it...LOL So yeah, my date with Nate was absolutely awesome! We had a great time...played some really crappy pool but it was really fun. I love being able to go out and feel very comfortable with someone. We talked, he was a bit shy but I don't blame him since it was me, my friend and him. When he got home we IM'd until 2 in the morning when I accidentally fell asleep talking to him....LOL He said he had a great time and that he thought I was even more attractive in person. I love that! I told Brian tonight that basically I am still insecure about that kind of thing. Nate is pretty much a total hottie. It's hard for me to think of a guy like him, liking me. However, I am going to get past that and know that he means what he says. This is just something I have to tell myself and know, then I will get past it. He is sooooooo sweet. We are already planning to go out again. I can't wait...I don't know which one I can't wait more for....LOL He called tonight and we talked on the phone for an hour...it was really awesome. I just hope that this can truly bloom in to something more. I think I have learned my lesson on rushing things. Yes, I want to see him as much as possible, but just really want to hang out and play pool and go to the park and things like that, no jumping in to anything. He just came out of a 7 year relationship so he feels the same way. He loves dogs so that is definitely a plus and doesn't think dog showing is stupid. I think this definitely has a great potential. He doesn't seem to be totally sex crazed so that is also a really good thing. Anyway, I'm off to bed....maybe...still talking to Nate tonight...LOL
