        <p>so i had the most amazing weekend! friday, i felt like shit, but went to church with josh anyways. him and his mom were getting along better, which was good. after church we went out to dinner at applebee&#39;s. i wasn&#39;t feeling well at all at that point, and i was freezing, so josh held me for a while to try to help me feel better. when we left, josh sat in the backseat with me, still holding me. and then he kissed me. but like a minute later, i threw up, out the window. well, mostly out the window, partly on josh, which i felt bad about. but he helped me wipe up the puke, gave me a peice of gum, and kept kissing me. lol. </p>
<p>saturday morning, i woke up early with a really bad headache. once mom left for work, i got on the comp and im&#39;ed josh. i told him that i was sorry about throwing up, and that he&#39;s a really good kisser, so my throwing up has nothing to do with the quality of his kissing. lol. and i told him that he was my first kiss. he told me not to be sorry, and that everything&#39;s ok as long as i&#39;m feeling better, and that i was his first kiss too. and then he told me that he loves me. it was all pretty much a very mushy &quot;aww&quot; moment. later that afternoon, i went over to his house. we made out in his bed for about an hour and a half, which was really amazing. i told him about my abstinence values, and he said he respects that. </p>
<p>sunday was easter, and i went to&#160;church with josh. we held hands during the service, and he almost fell asleep. (which is really saying something since he&#39;s a severe insomniac! lol.) he wanted me to go to his grandma&#39;s with him after church, but my mom wouldn&#39;t let me, so i went home, and fell asleep for about 2 hours. when i woke up, i talked to him on the phone for a while, and then got off the phone to watch tv with my parents. a couple hours later, the phone rang again, and it was him. he said &quot;i&#39;m at your front door. i have a present for you.&quot; so i told him, hold on, i&#39;ll be there in a minute. i told my mom and she pointed out that i was still wearing my pj&#39;s, so i went to go change really quickly. when i answered the door, he was standing there with a single red rose. i went to hug him, but my dog, sandy, got to him first. lol. sandy normally hates guys, especially tall guys, and josh is 6&#39;3&quot;, so you&#39;d think she&#39;d hate him too, but sandy absolutely loves josh. so we had to try to get sandy to calm down and lock her in her &quot;room&quot; (the laundry room). he handed me the rose, and i hugged him. he wanted to see if my mom would let him stay for a little while, but she was in a bad mood, so he had to leave. so i stepped outside with him and shut the door. i told him thank you. and we kissed for a few minutes. it was really sweet. i really do love him. </p>   <p style="clear:both;">
