Dreams Do Come True...

I absolutely cannot believe it. I'm still in shock! I've been a complete sloth this morning. Lazy, haven't checked messages, caller ID, nothing. I finally got motivated to see if Maria had called to let me know when her rehearsal is this evening. She hadn't called. Hmmmmmm. Ok. Susan hadn't called either. There were three calls from a number I didn't know. I called it back, figuring they had the wrong number anyway. My heart nearly stopped when I heard the voice on the other line. It was Bobby. I didn't know what to say! Of all people, that was the LAST person I expected to be on the other line.

I know he could tell I was confused by the tone of my voice, but I tried really hard to play it so cool. I apologized for missing his calls, and was just now getting around to returning them. Talk about quick thinking and smooth. Less than a minute ago I had no idea who I would be speaking with! What came next, was even more shocking...

I just knew he was calling in regards to his mother. Wanting to ask a question, favor- something. I just knew that it was about "Emma". Thank God I was sitting down, because if I hadn't been, I would've fallen over. He called to invite me to the Ball/Party/Dance- whatever it is, he wants ME to be HIS date! I honestly think I stopped breathing. I don't know how long I paused. I was paralyzed for a moment. This could not be happening. I kept waiting to wake up, and realize that it was nothing but a dream. No, reality- he was on the phone with me, and asking me to be his date! I gladly accepted. December 14th, what a magical night that's going to be!

As soon as I got off the phone with him, I called Susan and Maria IMMEDIATELY!!! Dress shopping is a MUST!!! I'm thinking about the red dress I tried on with Susan, but there are so many options. It's like a dream come true! I can't believe it! I feel just like Cinderella!
