Monster Trucks, Whataburger, and Back Rubs, Oh My!

I couldn't think of another title to better describe the past few weeks kickin' around with my new boyfriend. We've been together for only a month and a half and so far I've only found one small flaw: I fear he's a bit homophobic. I discovered this while watching Broke Back Mountain for the third time on TV (love it!) and he began to whine and fidget beside me. I've seen it on TV only so of course they didn't show the business part. After a while I believe he actually got into it but I had to swear to not tell any of the other guys. The K's invited me to the Gay Pride Parade not too long ago but it was on a weekend I was on call and couldn't go. I told Buck and he sort of cringed. And then again, I was watching a great Lifetime movie on TV called the Gwen Arajou Story. The movie is about a boy who has always believed himself to be a girl and as he grows older he begins to dress like a woman and play himself off to be a real woman, finding a boyfriend and everything. And the poor girl gets murdered! It's really sad. So when Buck began to fidget and groan I stole a quote from the movie and told him, "He's a girl at heart," but I'm not sure that I changed his whole opinion. As long as he doesn't get violent and he's accepting enough of other people to respect their own views and beliefs, then I won't kick him to the curb.

Getting back to the title, Buck took me to the Mud Boggs where they race the really big trucks. It was great! I loved it! I got all muddy! After that we went off-roading in one of his friend's truck. I had a blast and I can't wait to do it again. Buck told me that there is something similar next month up in Huntsville and his own off-road truck that he's building should be ready by then.

Whataburger sort of turned into our special place ever since he kissed me for the first time while leaning over my chicken-finger basket. We go there about twice a week for dinner

And he gives the most amazing back rubs! They feel so good after a hard day hauling caskets and clutching the steering wheel during rush hour traffic.

There's a lot more sprouting up that I'll blog about later on as they develope, but for now I'm just happy.
