July 4th, etc.

To finally update lol...last Thursday was Hailey's last day. I think we all have our little favorites in child care, and Hailey was mine. Ever since she was 1 she's been my buddy. If she was having a rough drop off, if you asked her "You wanna see Carly?" she would immediately stop crying. Anyhoo, her family decided to move back to Nebraska..so far away. I got emotional making her goodbye gift and just thinking about her leaving. On my lunch break I went in her class and had a little photoshoot with her. When she and her mom said goodbye to me, I surprisingly didn't cry. Her mom actually told me I'm their favorite teacher where I work, which meant a lot. I left her my email and she said she'll send me pictures of Hailey playing in snow and things like that.

That night Alex came over and we watched "Yes Man." Then Friday night he had a 4th of July party at his house. I met his friends and they were all friendly. They, I heard, like me too. I got drunk but felt okay, until I tried hookah for the first time. 5, maybe 10, minutes later I went to go pee and I ended up puking. No bueno. Alex was so sweet. He took care of me. He really is the sweetest guy I've ever met. Later on that night, he was hugging me and said, "I know we haven't gone on an actual date yet, but I really want you to be my girlfriend." I smiled and said, "Really? Well, I want you to be my boyfriend." So we're together now. :) But to be honest, I'm afraid to get too happy because in the past anytime I've been happy with a guy, that's when I end up getting hurt. I'm gonna take this relationship day by day and see what happens. I hope everything works out for the best.
