I am attempting to write my very first blog entry, after encouragement from my sister. For some reason I have started reading all of the blogs out there, and thought maybe it would be fun to try my hand at it. Not that I have anything of interest to say.

Hmmm, what to tell you about me? I currently seem to have a stalker. Well, maybe not a stalker, but close to it. I met him at my cousin's wedding. He was so very cute, and funny, and nice. Was also rather cocky. Saw me from across the room (so he says), came over and told me that he didn't know anyone there. I told him to stick with me, I knew many there. We hung out for the evening and had some nice talks. I told him that my husband died last year (he was only 31) and that I had 2 small children at home. He told me that he had a serious girlfriend who would soon be moving in. The wedding ended, we said goodbye. That was the end. Or so I thought.

Then yesterday I came home from work and saw a large package sitting on my porch. A package? For me? So exciting. I opened it up and found 22 items in this box, all from wedding guy. In case you're curious as to what the 22 items could possibly be, I made an itemized list:

1. Book, "The Prophet"
inscribed: " You made quite the impression on me. Quite smitten. I am not religious, but if I was to live by a code, this would be it. Such beauty. Such passion. A few things I read and thought of you.
