red roses

i started this blog about six months ago because i felt like my love life was a little out of control, had too many funny stories about boys and as a way to amuse myself during a very interesting time in my dating life. at a point i was almost dating five people at once, at another point i was almost getting back together with the ex. now, three weeks from my 24th birthday, with three magazines under my belt and more security than i thought possible as i try to figure out this whole grown up thing, i suddenly have an amazing boyfriend to go along with everything. a boyfriend who is an adult in every sense of the word. who doesn't get carded (that was kind of embarrassing last night when i did and he didn't). who gives me two red roses and says "i'm falling in love with you" with a fire in the fireplace and a delicious glass of wine.

is this my fairy tale? is this really happening to me? do i really get to wake up next to this amazing person and then an hour later have a sweet e-mail from him in my inbox? i am overwhelmed.
