I let bs go on the mens weekend gun shooting trip with SO and bs had a ball. He did all kinds of manly stuff like burp loudly and not shower. He shot a rifle once and didn't like it so he got to pull the cord where they shot the clay things in the air. I didn't realize till afterwards that SO's dd didn't go and stayed with a friend instead. I told SO I could have kept her and done girl things that I would love to do with her so he said next time. We saw each other a few times after that but I kinda pulled back from him some because of how bad the trips went. I felt like I was being pushy and I didn't like how that felt so I let him pursue me more. He didn't make much of an effort so I figured we were over till he showed up before the tropical storm came through to see how close the trees were to my house. He said he didn't think it was safe for me to stay and ds to stay in the house during the storm and practically begged me and ds to go stay with them. We did and lost power for 2 days. We played lots of board games and laughed. I didn't want it to end. He apologized for all the late nights he had been working which is why we hadn't seen each other and we've been practically inseparable since. We're still sleeping at our own houses during the school week but the weekend I am at his house or he is at mine. He surprised me last night with a do over weekend trip in Helen leaving tonight when we get off work. I'm so excited!
