"you're a great girl too"

here is THE STORY. this may take a while.... so i commend those of you who have the patience plus the intrigue to read this whole thing. also, this is mostly told as if talking with the suoergirls, but since i told you boys about it-- I obviously care about what you think about my whole new relationship. yay! :-) here goes:

now i know i told some of you a bit from the history of matt and i, but for those who don't know... this is for you baby.

in the beginning: matt and i met during the fall semester; he lived on the same hall as some of my friends and our group of friends kind of overlapped. we said hey and pounded everytime we saw each other. the night of the first snow i stayed out real late with matt and some otehr guys having a really intense snowball fight. might i add that mr matt tackled and whitewashed me a couple times. i thought nothing of it but good clean fun. the story comes to the last day of fall semester before christmas break when again after some playtime in the snow, my ra and friend Devin and I went down to matt's room to watch some arrested development (or maybe it was a movie... i don't remember) the fact is we were all on matt's couch intertwined and cuddling. it was quite fun. supergirls- it's the same way we roll (only this was happening at whitworth). i was then very excited about my newfound cuddle buddies and was eager to continue said connections and cuddlings after christmas break. over the break matt and i talked over facebook, which was fun since we seemed to have a lot of the same thoughts.

jan term stage one: we got back from break and right away there was tons of time in the evenings to do whatever, so matt and devin and other people and i started hanging out a bunch watching movies and just chilling. on a couple of occasions matt came up to our hall to chill and my across the hall neighbor haley and i ended up spending hours talking with matt about random stuff. namely about friends, drinking, kissing stories, naked stories, awkward stories, just real entertaining stuff. very fun. all during jan term i saw matt and it became the norm to go down to his room to watch some arrested development (my new favorite show) or a movie and whoever was there (usually me matt and another girl... either sam, devin, or teresa) would cuddle on teh couch and enjoy watching the tv. a couple times whoever was with us, like devin for instance, had to go to bed or whatever, so it was just matt and i. that was cool, we were chill, it really wasn't awkward at all. actually it was funny we started this thing (well I started this thing) where i'd look over at matt, we'd meet eye contact, and then look away. it was a funny game. silly i know but what else are you going to do to relieve the tension (gin!) at times! come on... being alone, in a dark room on a comfy couch with a really nice guy...... calls for some added awkwardness of my staring game or we soon learned pillow/ blanket/ tickle fights. oooooh lala!!! so anyways.

jan term stage two: now right towards the last week and a half of jan term, i came to realize just how much i enjoyed hanging out with matt... alone. so here we come to the last week of jan term. and we were hanging out every single night together, watching either lost or arrested development. it's kind of embarassing to go into so much detail... but let's just leave it at we had some pillow/blanket/ tickle fights while watching these shows. good gracious. so..... we head off to jan term break, and I was now pretty fully aware of my feelings for matt. While staying at osu I told a couple of ya'll, and I also told my sister (who spilled the beans to my grandparents), nugget, and a couple other people got the "censored version" ("jan term was fun... matt this... i hung out with matt then... matt and i... bla bla bla..." ;-)) so anyways. I told myself I would give matt and I a week and a half when we got back after break... until valentine's day. turns out i was almost spot on to when matt and i would finally actually let each other know what we were truly feeling. ahaha but one of the funniest parts of the whole asking me out story.... (by the way should i put a full detailed story up here?) is when we were hugging, after i awkwardly walked out of the room because i was feeling SUPER shy.... was when matt said to me, while we were hugging (his voice almost cracked!!!!! awwwww!) "you're a great girl Ginny" and I said "aw, you too" ahahahaha. i called him a girl. oops. not on purpose but there i go again keeping the moment lighthearted.... haha. so anyways. there you have it. friday night, matt and i are going out to dinner. where? i don't know. what am i wearing? i don't know. are we going to do it again? i don't know. but for now...

whoopeee!!!!!!! and the end. :-D let me know if i really should type out the story of when matt asked me out... 'cause it's great but my fingers are tired. woot.
