So I took the biggest leap of faith yesterday.

I felt I was ready, but never have I ever felt so scared to go through with something in my life.

Let me rephrase this,

Rather,

It was nervousness over the fact that I have finally reached this stage in my life.

I mean...

The day started like any other Friday that I am off.

Sleeping in as I catch up on all the missed hours of sleep from the week.

Jogging 3 miles at Memorial Park here in Houston.

But today was going to be a little different.

A thought that I have been carrying around with me for the past couple of months was forcefully pushing itself to the surface of my mind.

It wasn't until this past week that I realized that I was ready to take this step.

Prior to my epiphany, I have been agonizing over this decision.

'Is this the right time'

'Am I rushing things'

'Am I to young to be making decisions like this'

Thoughts just kept swirling around my head and the problems that I was having with the rest of my life didn't help.

It got to the point that I was pushing my girlfriend away in hopes that it might make this decision easier.

But she stuck with me.

I mean it was never a questions in how much I love the girl, but rather, if she honestly felt the same way.

But I have known all along the extent of her love.

I digressed a bit.

So I went to the local mall to pick up some cleaning supplies for my apartment.

But,

this wasn't my true intentions.

My heart was beating a mile a minute as I got to the destication I intended for.

Since this wasn't the first time, I knew exactl what I was looking for.

'How much is this again'

I definitely didn't forget about that part of this arrangement.

But from all of this, the outcome is.....

This is a big step in my life and for some reason, though there are some things that I haven't figured out, all I know is that I want her riding shotgun along this crazy ride.
