BACK FROM THE DEAD!!!

Well...i'm sure many of you were probably wondering what the heck happened to me being that it has been TWENTY THOUSAND YEARS since i last posted.  do not fret. I AM ALIVE! and despite the debbie downer-ness of my last post, i have had a pretty amazing last three (and a half) weeks.

SO let's rewiinnndddd back to the funk.   things were apparently pretty rough for me that day.  but ya know....we're all entitled to have those days right??

anyway, right after that i jumped RIGHT into Wonderette's rehearsal and began the whole show mode thing.  you know how that goes.  thennn came the snow.  the snow that turned into ice and totally shut down the entire city of Atlanta.  yeah.  this snow:

this would be my rooftop

this snowy rooftop soon turned to treacherous ice though, so don't think it's so pretty.  exhibit A:

and while it was pretty awesome to get to work from home 4 days in a row, that ice almost ruined EVERYTHING.  how you ask??? well i will tell you.  do you remember a few posts back, when i mentioned having a lovely night with a special someone?  well that someone would be a really amazing guy who i am just a little crazy about.  we will call him peter.  which is convenient b/c that is his name.

peter was supposed to be coming over for a date the night the snow/ice hit, but it almost didn't happen b/c the whole city was shut down and the roads were totally iced over.  he was in norcross (about 20 min away) so this was very bad.  SOMEHOW though (the boy is determined), he managed to find the one running taxi in the city and got to my apt where we had the most lovely pizza date :)  but let's rewind a bit first....

here's the story on peter (get ready for it b/c it is crazy).  rewind almost 7 and a half years ago to uga freshman orientation.  18 year old courtney and 18 year old peter meet when their orientation groups combine.  courtney notices peter almost immediately b/c he is super cute (the cutest of all in fact).  so she is ELATED when he decides to turn around and start talking to her as they are walking on one of the campus tours (by the way, i only remember all of these details b/c i happened to write three entire entries about him in my diary. yes i used to keep a dairy.).  they spend the entire time together, have some pretty memorable moments and everything seems to be going swimmingly. courtney is thinking she pretty much has found her college boyfriend already.  well, don't so excited just yet.  because peter, who is half german, finds out AT orientation that he has been accepted to a school in germany that he really wants to go to.  SO, he tells courtney that he's probably going to go there. and by probably he means definitely.  courtney is devastated, but thinks well....what can ya do?  a week later, peter drives down (quite a long way i might add) to take courtney on a date.  it is really sweet and she really likes him a lot, but they both  know they will likely never see each other again and say goodbye.

that story would suck so bad if it was the end......but it is not :)

so college happens. and there is zero communication for seven and a half years (it was in the dark ages before facebook).  fast forward to present day (this past summer actually), when courtney decides to randomly look peter up on facebook...ya know...just out of curiousity. and i know sometimes curiosity hurts the kitty (we don't say kills around our kitties), but in this case i would say it definitely paid off :)  sure enough, there he was. cute as ever. and still in germany.  courtney sends the friend request, and the rest is history!  ALTHOUGH - let me just point out that at first peter did not remember who she was.  so rude.

but anyway, that's the background info for ya.  he came home for christmas/the new year and we got to spend some time together then.  he was originally supposed to leave a couple days after our snow day date, but by that point he had decided to rebook his flight and stay an extra 2 weeks (smart boy ;)).  so he stayed, we had some amazing times and to make a VERY long story short, now he is my boyfriend.   i won't get too mushy about everything on this first introduction blog, but let's just say i am a very, very happy girl :)  lots of things happening....lots of plans being made.  the first goal being to be in the same PLACE.  or the same time zone even would be a step in the right direction!  haha.

here are some pics/videos we took while he was in ATL - wish we had taken more, b/c some of these i look kind of busted, but it's the best i could do. i was tired okay?  he's cute though so i'll deal with it.

at hudson grill where we met up with chasey!

we had fondue one night, and baked some delicious bread to go with it, but peter had a bit of an incident with the broiler...and i say peter b/c it was totally his fault.  haha.

like a good boyfriend, he came to opening night of The Marvelous Wonderettes :) here we are all spiffed up at the after party.

and of course, we have to have a self timed picture.  good ole photobooth.  gets the job done. 

he's pretty cute i guess.... ;)

so yeah... there ya have it.  now you know peter :)  and the perpetually single girl is no longer single.  IT'S A MIRACLE!!!  

but now it is my bed time so i will say (in my best german accent), gute nacht and sweet dreaaammmsss!
