I think I might have a little crush on Patrick. Okay, I do have a little crush on Patrick. I spent yesterday morning in the car with Molly and the whole time I kept thinking about him. When we stopped mid-morning for a bathroom break I was so eager to see him. And then when we stopped for lunch, I found myself wanting to sit next to him and talk to him as much as possible.

After lunch I got back in the car with Molly and she asked me if I'd rather ride with him. I must have been pretty obvious. Why am I so terrible at hiding my emotions?

When we stopped mid-afternoon for a quick break, Molly announced to everyone that she wanted to spend some quality time with her brother. I ended up riding with Patrick until dinner time. Again, we had really great conversations. He was telling me about the physical therapy program he's starting at the University of Florida in the fall. He was also intrigued by my ballroom dancing and was asking me all sorts of questions about it.

He has this amazing ability to make you feel like you're the most interesting person on the planet. And I haven't felt that way in a very long time. All I know is that I can't wait to see him and I don't want this trip to end.
