The New Guy,

September 8, 2008 3:14 p.m.

Per the request of my good friend Heather, I am giving an update today...

A lot of people have been asking me about the "New guy" or as I like to call him... Brad... well, he's not really that new, I've known him since 2004 but I didn't really get to know him until the later part of 2007, however these past two months I started dating him and I have to admit that I've fell head over heels (so to speak) for him.

I didn't think it would be so easy to find what I was looking for, and I definitely didn't think it would happen so quickly… but I can say that I'm so glad it did! Everyday gets better and I feel like we're growing together and he has taught me so much about myself that I didn't even know. He makes me feel special and loved. I never felt this way about anyone before, like I can give my whole self to him and be okay with that.

I'm not going to sugar coat it, it is kind of scary to be as vulnerable as I have been with him, but for some reason being with him makes me feel safer than ever. He is an amazing guy and I definitely see us going much further in our relationship.

As far as the people who think "you can do better" or think "he's no good for me" or vice versa… or for any of those people who have negative things to say about him or I, or our situation… please delete me from your friends list because I don't need you or your biased negative.

For the people that are just generally happy that we are happy… Thank you, because a true friend would only want what brings happiness to their friend.

I'm sure more updates will be coming very soon!
