I know, I've been MIA. May is always a busy month. Josh's b-day was last week. He didn't want to have a party or anything so I went out to dinner with him and his parents. The two of us went out to celebrate on our own the night before. It's so weird. He's not a teenager anymore. I can't believe I'm dating a twenty year old!

Last weekend I was in Florida. Arie's prom date dumped him at the last minute so I flew down and went with him. It was pretty easy convincing my mom to buy my plane ticket. She's been itching to get me down there. It was kind of weird. It doesn't really feel like home any more and I actually felt homesick for Aunt Lu and Josh. I'm glad I'll be going to school close to "home" next year.

Despite feeling homesick and feeling weird about being at a prom without Josh, it was a good time. I really want to think back on my proms 20 years from now and remember how amazing it was to go with Josh. I was a little worried this would cloud that but it didn't. I was just going with a friend as a favor. Plus I got to hang out with Natalie so that made it even more fun. And I got to see a lot of old friends from Florida. It's amazing how time and distance can make things seem different. Things that bothered me before, just seem petty and stupid now. It was nice being able to hang out with old friends without worrying about dumb things.

The rest of my weekend in Florida was okay. My mom was giving me grief about Josh. She likes him but she thinks he's too old for me. She keeps asking me why I don't want to be free to date other guys! Hmm...well, maybe it's because I found a great guy who is smart, funny, talented and unbelievably adorable in everyway. He treats me with kindness and respect and he loves me. Why on earth would I give that up to date other guys? You would think she'd be happy for me, what with the jerk she ended up with...but whatever. I love Josh, he loves me. My mom's in Florida anyway so there's not much she can do, and Aunt Lu approves and loves Josh so that's all there is to it. I listened to Delta Goodrem's "A Little Too Late" on my iPod the whole plane ride home.

I haven't seen Josh since before I left. He went with his dad out to LA last weekend and is there until Friday. His dad had business and Josh is kind of just hanging out until the swim club opens (this weekend!) so he tagged along.

Well, that's all for now. I'll try to be a bit better about keeping things updated!
