I prayed so hard after talking to my pastor to bring the right man into my life.(No matter how long it took). Immediately following that I started having dreams about Raymond Grubbs. It was really strange to me,because well I hadn't seen him in over 6 years by that time. He was just as handsome as ever in those dreams. We were just sitting there laughing ,watching movies,and talking. Then I saw it...My face,I was smiling like nothing I had ever done before.How could I be that happy with him I barely knew him. I had a crush on him as a kid. His aunt(Auntie Edie) and my mom were best friends while I was growing up. Her home was like my sanctuary,so we met each other there several times.
I was sure he had no good memory of who I was,but I had to see him. Even if I was crazy. But somehow I had no doubt in my mind that God had sent those dreams to me for a reason. Even if we were to just become good friends. So I wrote him on myspace,but days went by with no response so I found his brother on facebook and had him call Raymond and let him no I was trying to get ahold of him. Surely I looked like a stalker,but who cares. By this point he was quite literally the man of my dreams. I HAD TO SEE HIM. I was desperate for a chance to feel the happiness I could see on my face in the dreams. Finally I got ahold of him and asked him if I could come visit for a weekend. Yes I know that was kinda forward of me,but I HAD TO SEE HIM...In case I hadn't mentioned that yet. Being the sweetheart that he is he said yes. So my reply was how about next weekend. Not to look to desperate I told him I already had it off. He agreed and I went to work that day and scrambled to get my shifts covered for the following weekend. was so excited that it wasn't hard to find friends willing to help me out. A couple of them told me they had never seen me smile like i did when I was telling them about the trip.
That was one of the most amazing weekends of my life...even with the awkward first hug lol. So after helping me with my bags I went to hug him once we got up stairs. A friendly How ya doin',It's been awhile hug. Well previously in my trip I had stopped at a shady gas station in Milton. So ofcourse me being me I had put my knife in my waistband. Well when I went to hug him it poked him. His mistake was asking me what it was lol. My mistake was looking like a crazy person when I whipped it out and said,"Oh it's just my knife,I take it with me everywhere(proceeded by an awkward I just got busted chuckle)." He was just like oh okay that makes perfect sense. Thank goodness he didn't think I was some psycho cause my life has gotten infinitely better since that moment. We spent that entire weekend exactly like I dreamed it. We hung out laughed until my face hurt and talked. Oh and we went bowling with his brother. When I came home to Okeechobee we spent every minute we weren't at work on the phone and computer.
