Um...BOYFRIEND :)

Yes it is true after about six years I am no longer what one would call single! For those of you who have known me over the last six years, I'm hoping you are not too shocked right now! lol.

His name is Josh and he is one of the most amazing people I've ever met in my LIFE! I met him mid August through a mutual friend. He didn't hang around very long that night but he surely did try some smooth moves to get my phone number from our friend ;). We continued to show up at the same places and eventually he found a way to get my number real casually from me. We started texting and hanging out occasionally. I would go home and talk about him non stop and every time I did, Gretchen would tell me that I loved him ha. And I would tell her NO that I only loved his voice and his guitar! G and I went over it several times and every time she was like Amiee just admit it! :) He and I kept talking and continued to hang out. Some craziness ended up going on but we stuck with each other as friends and helped each other through it all. I kept telling Josh that I liked him but wanted to take things slow and see what happened, not force anything and not title anything. I also had to break the news to him that come May or July I could very well be on my way back to Kansas! So anyways, the other day I was driving in my car and it hit me, I had decided that I wanted to make it official, that there was no reason not to and that I was ready! (Which once again for those of you who have known me over the last six years that was a HUGE decision for me) So I text Jamie and told her I needed to tell her something...and I told her and she just smiled for me. Then Friday Josh was hanging out at the apartment with Jamie and I and I happened to use the word Girlfriend referencing me and Josh kinda flipped on me a lil :). Anyways we got to his house for the big halloween bash and we went to his room and talked and he asked me to be his girlfriend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY! I'm a girlfriend and I have a boyfriend and I cannont ever remember being this happy! :)

Despite all the craziness over just the last 2.5 months things have been awesome and amazing! Those of you who have known my struggle over the last six years know that this is a huge step for me. I would find a guy fall for him and then when he would show the same feelings I would back out. Then when I'd finally decide I wasn't scared, I would fall completely and darned if the guy then wasn't ready for something. Or there would be a great and amazing guy that I know would treat me right but I could only see that guy as a friend. I honestly can't really describe to anyone completely why I've finally came out of my issue with relationships but I have and I'm SO happy! And I'm not gonna be scared of what may come, I'm gonna enjoy every day as it comes and love every minute of it. Don't get me wrong I'm still a lil timid and cautious but I am falling more and more every day, with a guy like him who couldn't!

All of this is so sappy I know but I finally can write about something that truly makes me happy again so that's what I'm doing! Thank you everyone who kept encouraging me and made me realize that passing up this opportunity would definitely be a horrible decision!

And...now the really sappy part... :)

Joshua Aaron Nix, you have made me more happy than I have ever been in only 2.5 months, scares me a lil but more than anything it brightens my world. You have been more patient and understanding than I could have ever asked you to be! Neither one of us know for sure where this will go but I know that we both will just take each day as it comes and embrace it! Over the last six years there was never anyone who truly deserved the title of my boyfriend, until you! Thank you so much for all you've done so far! :) You are the bestest boyfriend ever :)

Love was kept from me like a secret
And I swore that I was through
Until you, until you...

:) Happiest Blog to date :)
