and I'm trying to just enjoy it instead of worrying about the getting-kicked-in-the-face part. Nice Guy continues to be nice. More than nice, really, he's super sweet.
We went out with one of his coworkers and her husband on Friday night, courtesy of the company. Very nice dinner and the musical version of The Color Purple. The coworker was very nice, her husband seemed to struggle to put words together, so the company wasn't so fun. Being with NG made up for it, though. We always have something to talk about and really enjoy being together.
Saturday we went to South Carolina to a locally famous (apparently) peach stand. We had peach ice cream and bought various peach products to enjoy together later. On the way back we stopped for a beer at the US National Whitewater Center (www.usnwc.org). He had never been there and wanted to see what I talk about all the time, plus they have a REALLY good beer list. We had a few beers, then headed back to his house for dinner. We made venison chili for dinner and he seemed surprised that I will eat venison. I told him I won't kill it, won't dress it, but if you'll bring it to me in plastic I'll cook it! He liked that plan just fine. :-)
Sunday we just hung out. NG is in the midst of a kitchen renovation, so we went to Lowe's to look for paint and pulls for his kitchen cabinets. He is color blind, so picking out paint is clearly not a strong suit. It's fun to do that kind of stuff, and we had a ball wandering around Lowe's and making plans for his house. He talks about us being together in the future, and while that's kinda scary this early, it also isn't. We are very compatible, in both important and unimportant ways. We both lost our mothers at young ages, both grew up on farms and don't want to raise kids in a city, both want kids (or more kids for him), both pretty much stick to traditional gender roles. We also have random things in common-- taste in music, strong coffee, food preferences, and similar taste in beer. There are a lot of things that are very good about this that are hard to enumerate, as I think about the words, I'll update. Bottom line is that at this point it looks like if this doesn't stick, I don't know what will.
