New Adventures

So a few months ago I was putting children in cars after school. This is the one part of day that I enjoy; no it is not because it is the end of the day it is because I am good really good at that part of my job. I was calling kids and I noticed that I had only two or three kids left. I then saw a truck pull up I didn’t recognize the driver but the passage was Bobby’s (names have been changed) dad. I put Bobby in the car said, “Hello,” to dad and shut the truck door. The next day the same thing happened. This time as I put Bobby in the car the driver called me by my first name. I was taken back mainly because I usually get Ms. Fallis, and secondly I had no idea who the driver was.

The driver asked if I recognized him, I said no and then he told me his name. I couldn’t believe it, it was my favorite home teacher from church. We talked for a few minutes and then traffic started moving again so I had to get back to my job. It was nice and then we decided to become Facebook friends. He was off to some country like China, the Congo, or Singapore. All I knew was that it took a passport so it wasn’t anything I needed to really know about.

Two weeks ago when I put Bobby in the car, his dad informed me that my friend was coming home soon and would be coming to Havasu in a few weeks. I sent my friend a cute FB message and left it at that. Last week I was excited to see a message from my friend. It was something nice. We made some plans and that was good enough for me. Yesterday was my friend’s birthday, the only reason I knew this was because of FB. I thought I now have his number I will text him a birthday message. I sent a text and then he sent one back; this went on for about 20 minutes. The whole time I am thinking I should just call but I don’t know the rules of calling guys anymore.
I texted something very funny that instead of getting a text message the phone rang. I didn’t know what I should do, so I picked it up. I was afraid I had offended him and that was the last thing I wanted to do. Luckily, he was laughing on the other end. We talked for 197 minutes. I didn’t get anything done that I was supposed to but I was okay with that because I was having fun. Today we talked for another 218 minutes (yes I had to look it up) I have laughed harder in the last few days and he even made me cry. Not on purpose just because I was getting told that I might have to learn some things about cars.

I have had a lot of fun reconnecting with this friend. It is fun to talk to someone that knows you and has no qualms about who you are. A person that thinks you are funny, quick, and maybe even a little pretty. I am glad to have someone that wants to be my friend.

Now before I get a bunch of emails or messages saying, “Flo, you have friends.” I am not saying I don’t. I am just saying that sometimes it is nice to have a guy friend that is single. It is also nice that this friend knows my beliefs and morals. He might not be rated PG10 like Noelle but he understands where I stand on issues and won’t try to get me to break any of what I call, “The big ten.”
