I know that I may get some concerned replies about not letting enough time pass, but I feel that there is enough trust between us to allow a visit. I also think that if Marleen and
I will ever decide to move beyond platonic friendship, it will only be able to occur after we have spent time together in person. I am SO excited and so is she. I told her that I had started making plans to go to Cebu to be with her on her birthday on Cinco de Mayo and I could have sworn that the life in her voice could wake the dead! It is wonderful to her her like that.
I will be leaving on July 26th and arriving on the 28th. We have gone through a lot of discussion about the particulars of the trip and I have to say that the most exciting part of it will be going to Leyte for the week following her birthday. Living with her family, walks around the farm, days on the beach and sunsets... a week of crisp, rural sunsets! Some of them on the BEACH, no less!!! Definitely the best part... The ramaining week of my vacation will be spent back in Cebu City in a hotel. And there will be feasting and shopping and more shopping and a little more feasting. I will get to see where she lives and I am nearly certain that I will be ushered to her pharmacy so that I can see where she works (and then be shown to her coworkers.
)
I thank her ate for introducing us and I will take this opportunity to assure you that I will be a gentleman always.
Please, Wish me luck. Although I am excited to finally meet Marleen and her family, I am utterly terrified that I am going to screw something up....
