Wow...I'm in shock. Some of you know that today was my 20th birthday...yada yada I don't make a big deal and try to keep it as low key as possible (hardly anyone here knew until yesterday

) because I don't like the attention...but I had to share this.
Some of you know my escapades with 'k9 chic'...if not, take a quick gander....
First encounter The last anyone heard of her
Since that last thread and those rough couple of weeks, our relationship (now a definitive friendship) has become...crap...300x better than it ever was. Far more open, fun, low key, non-stressful relationship....TONS better than ever before. We could talk about anything...it's been the best ever and I'm glad I went through what I went through.
Tonight we went out to my favorite restaurant, a fancy Italian place with the best service ever, incredible....was a lot of fun. She looked beautiful....hell, I looked beautiful



. She paid the expensive bill, which I figured was my birthday present (fine with me). Afterwards, we drove back, I gave her a hug, thanks for the wonderful b-day, etc....right before I got out of the car, she gave me a bag - wow...I wasn't expecting anything from her

. I've given her stuff on several occasions, most recently Valentines Day. Got some nice workout clothes, including an expensive Under Armour shirt (love those)...the real kicker was the card. The words on the card that it came with were incredible enough...I open it up to find it chock full of what she wrote...wow, I was wrong soooooooo so very wrong compared to the stuff I said in that 2nd thread above^^^...I really have made a huge impact on her, I've never been told so many kind things in my life, wow...I'm still in shock. About how I've motivated her and how for some reason she tells me things she doesn't tell anyone else and how much she appreciates everything I've done for her, the big things and the small things.
Before all that crap happened last month, when I prayed at night I'd thank God that I had a relationship like that...when it happened, heck, I stopped praying altogether

...that soon changed and got back to the way it was before, on a higher level. During those couple of weeks I had to reevaluate our relationship - was I in it purely for the potential of a g/f b/f thing or was it a real friendship. Within the past few weeks and now with this confirmation, I definately know that this is one of those friends that you keep in touch with forever, a rarity with me (I drop people pretty fast...).
Thanks for all the help everyone provided me during that time and listening to me ramble

. What an awesome birthday...
