Nothing But Blue Skies...
Another amazing weekend. I feel like I'm on Cloud 9. Like nothing can stop this momentum of happiness. And it's really now all because of a certain boy. But he does have something to do with it.
The week started off pretty great. FHE was actually really good. It may have been the first time I really paid attention to it. Nothing really eventful happened until Thursday - it was just a good couple of days. Nothing pressing at work, easy going. Thursday was a great day to start the weekend. I had a vendor lunch that the old Boss Man crashed. Kevin was in town for the week with his new company. It was so good to see him! I almost thought I wouldn't get to. Then Thursday night was the date. It didn't go exactly as planned. Dinner and a movie turned into dinner and then harassment by my parents. But it was a lot of fun. We played Mexican Dominoes with my parents and dear ole' Granny. He fit right in. It was an incredible night.
I asked for Friday off to help take care of Gramps while the parents did the produce run. He has been a joy to have around. He tells those most amazing stories. Especially of my dad. =P The boy came over again - 2nd harassment. What is he thinking? But the parents really like him so I guess he can stay. Oh yeah, so do I. =D The weather has been almost perfect - except the heat in the day - and we watched Iron Man 2 outside. Josh and Brent came in later in the night. We had 4 generations of Sleights in the house this weekend and took a great picture to show it.
Saturday mom had a 50th anniversary party to go to for her aunt and dad took Josh and Brent out for some much needed guy time. I spent the day with Gramps again. My gal Melissa came by later and we took mom to dinner - much needed girl time - while the guys fended for themselves for dinner. Later on the boy came over for another movie, well two. I guess we can name the boy - Michael.
Today Michael surprised me by showing up to Sacrament meeting. Naturally, Bishop asked dad who the guy I was sitting next to. Mom kept asking if he was coming over tonight for dinner, but he does have a family of his own. So after dinner, I went over there to meet his parents. They remind me a lot of mine. It was a great time. I haven't had this much fun in awhile.
In the past, when things have been this good - when I've been this excited about things, I've waited for the other shoe to drop. I could never hold on to the thought that I can be this happy. I mean, I'm a pretty happy person - in my opinion. I'm easy-going and mostly care free. But it's been such a long time since I've been literally beaming with happy. I'm not waiting for the shoe to drop. I don't want this feeling to go away.

Blue skies Smiling on me
Nothing but blue skies Do I see
Blue birds Singing a song
Nothing but blue skies From now on.
