Knock me over with a feather why don't cha....

Knock me over with a feather why don't cha....

16 Days have passed and still no word. I have not texted called or really even worried about it. However that's not the focus of this post.

This post is about how the day went. I worked, typical monday-crazy insane work. I was sitting at my desk going over paperwork and the phone rang. My co-workers were talking so I was kind enough to grab the call. Turns out it was for me. The voice said is this Snow, Snow White? I said yes it is, That is when it hit me who was on the other end. I think my face turned about as red as a beet and I melted to the chair. It was flyboy.

Now up until now we have only emailed back and forth and had a great time doing so.

Well today I sent an email to him asking a question regarding his field of employment. I was curious to know something and thought he was the best source for information. Instead of emailing me, curiosity sent him to the telephone to call me. I sat there listening to this voice. A voice that took me back 20 years to being in high school and being that shy scared girl I was. Only now I am older, shouldn't I be able to form words? Not today. I sat there listening to him speak and thought, this has to be a dream, a joke even. I managed to say, "Oh my Gosh I just figured out who this was".

He laughed and we talked for about 30 minutes about the question I had that led him to being very curious about the situation. We talked about high school and our town and how crazy it was living in this area. We talked about places we had been and things we had done and seen. It was the best 30 minutes of my day. It sort of makes the last 16 days the prince has been out of the picture a very distant memory. He talked about other emails we had between us and remembered things that I did not. He remembered what I wore the last time we spoke. What guy remembers those things?? A very sweet decent one, that's what.

I sit here thinking about how crazy my day was and then this last hour has just blown my mind. He said he would call again and we could catch up. I should also be getting more photos of this dear old friend soon.

I started this post right after the phone call and it is now 5 hours later and I am still in shock. The best kind of shock. I never thought he would call me. I had hoped to be able to speak to him again but for him to actually take the time out of his busy day and reach out to me has touched me so very much. Not many people would even bother after 20 years.

So tonight this Snow White is feeling a little bit like a princess again. Thanks to a very sweet guy in uniform.
