Sometimes I read my old journals.
They are hilarious and stupid but kind of cute, too.
Wednesday, August 23, 2000:
"Today was the best day of my life. Christian kissed me!
Finally FINALLY! After a lovely evening drive in mom's convertible,
we pulled into the driveway, and all of a sudden, he said:
"Stephanie, close your eyes". Then he put his hands on my cheeks
and pulled me close to him, and he KISSED ME!!! (Then I drew about 400 hearts).
"It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO wonderful and absolutely perfect.
Like, this kiss should be in a movie; it was that amazing
and so ROMANTIC, now if he will just ask me to marry him". (Smiley face).
"Then we finally got out of the car, and he walked me to my door,
but before I went inside, he grabbed me at the waist, and we kissed again!!
I seriously felt weak in my knees. That's a real thing!"
(Then I drew about 35 more hearts).
"He told me he had wanted to do that for so long,
and he couldn't wait any longer.
I don't think he realizes how long I HAVE BEEN WAITING for that moment.
Can't wait to do it again tomorrow....and I hope forever."

When you know, you know.
