For the past 36 days I've waffled back and forth trying to determine how much to say and what to keep private. I mean, heck, it's my life and part of me wants to tell everyone!!!
But I have this bigger part of me that wants to keep my personal life my own; especially with something this new happening in it.
I also want to respect the privacy of the other person involved. He's mentioned conversations he's had with others, but I don't know how much he has shared.
So, here I am wanting to tell you that Wendell and I have been dating since the end of May, but afraid that I may jinx it all by saying too much.
But here is the crux of it all: How much is too much? How much of my telling you my side of the story begins to infringe upon his privacy? Or am I over thinking it and shouldn't be worried about it?
He’s the one who marched right into Arlene’s house the night of our first date with a huge bouquet of flowers. Everyone there saw them and ooh’d and aww’d over them; Arlene, Amber, the dog, the cats. I mean seriously, who’s going to keep the cats from spreading it around the neighborhood???
Here’s what I will say: I like Wendell A LOT! I have for quite a while and I’m as excited as excited can be about the whole thing!!
One day I will SHOUT it, but today it’s only a few whispers that may clue you in on why I’ve had a goofy grin on my face lately.

AH! I am screaming in front of my computer last night. This has to be the best news in a while. We were just talking about Wendell and wondering if he'd given up on dating. I am glad he hasn't and I'm glad he's dating YOU! And, since others know you are dating I don't think it's so bad to post about it here and there but I can see how you want to keep things on the low down. I miss you guys.
I don't know why I put last night. i meant tonight. I'll blame it on placenta brain. Ugh, I hate typos and I hate that I can't change them on here.
WAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People who know and love you will wish you and Wendell nothing but the best, no matter what happens. You've got lots of people cheering right now (just look at Heather up there!). ;)
Yee Haw!!! Whisper, Shout whatever. Good for you & Wendall. Everyone enjoys happiness.
I am so excited that you are going public! I am excited that it has been this long and you are in so much like. I think you are right to keep some things private and not online, but you can tell me all about it on the phone! :)
That is so sweet!!
It is so cute that your SO smitten. So that's fun to share! New relationships are always exciting (I guess old ones can be too)...Anyway I'm happy for you.
