Last night was my second first date with Josh and it was a million times better than the first first date with Josh. I didn't end up in the emergency room, and I didn't embarrass myself. That alone could have made it a great night, but it was so much more than that. It was perfect. I keep living it over and over in my mind because I don't want to forget this feeling. I want to remember how perfect it was and how amazing I feel for the rest of my life.

We left Pennsylvania around 1:00 and got to Lindsay's beach house a little before 3:00. The place they rented was really nice, and we had fun there but I was kind if itching to leave. I wanted to be alone with Josh. We hung out with Lindsay, Jennifer and Terry until 5:00 and then headed out.

Josh took me to a seafood restaurant in Point Pleasant that overlooks the water. It was perfect, and even though I was nervous about the night going well, things felt comfortable and easy. My food was delicious, and the restaurant reminded me of some of my favorite places in Florida.

After dinner we hit the boardwalk. We played ski ball - my favorite game! Then we walked along the boardwalk and Josh decided to try to win me a stuffed bear. He was trying so hard but he just couldn't seem to win the darn thing. I didn't really care, but I think his ego was slightly bruised because he wouldn't give up on the bear. He actually had to leave to go to the ATM because he was running out of money. While he was gone I decided to give the game a try. I won on the first try. Then I felt bad about winning the bear for myself so I gave it to some little kid before he got back!

When he got back I pulled him away from the game so he would just forget about it. He didn't argue with me so I took it as a good sign. We were standing on the boardwalk looking out at the water and I was telling him about Florida. He asked me if I missed it, and I explained that I'm so much happier in PA. It's amazing, the anger at my parents for leaving me with Aunt Lu, and the loneliness I felt when I got here were so worth it, because my life is so much better. He looked really happy to hear my say that.

His cell phone rang then, and he said he normally wouldn't get it but it was his sister. She told him to turn around so we did and she and her friend came walking over towards us. They were spending a few days down at the shore with her friend's father, but they wanted to go home and proceeded to convince Josh for a ride home. It didn't bother me, but Josh really didn't want to give them a ride. But we did.

We left the beach then and headed for home with Lauren and Christine in the back seat. We stopped for ice cream along the way. I could tell Josh was annoyed with Lauren but he did a pretty good job of controlling it.

When we got home, he sent them into the house and walked me to the door. I thanked him for a great day and he said, "The pleasure was all mine." He gave me one of those heart pounding, heart soaring kisses and then said good night.

It was perfect! Absolutely perfect.
