It's been 2 and a half months since the guys found out about Red Wings fan and me and finally over the weekend when we had our Saturday Night Girls Night, I spilled the beans to KP and B. Dilly. Sure they pretty much knew something was up but there was always a little bit of doubt for them too since I did deny and make excuses for any "suspicious activity." But over the past few months, I have felt guilty for not enlightening them on all of my happiness and telling them about all the exciting things I've been up to since January so with a night of just fun girl stuff planned, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to fill them in. As luck would have it, KP beat me to the punch and got it out of me. Incidentally while this all was happening, Red Wings fan was in Chicago at a bachelor party but checking in with me via text throughout the night. I told him the girls finally knew and he started joking with them via text too.
It was a huge weight lifted off of me and we can finally act normal when our group hangs out outside of work.
Yesterday another surprise came about as I was on the way to have lunch with my Aunt and Nicole when I unexpectedly ran into my Dad and his new girlfriend as I was leaving home. It's only been over the last couple of weeks my Dad started dating. And this is a bit crazy (not in a bad way!) because in the time my parents have been divorced (19 years), I have never known my Dad to date, at all. I'm happy that he is finding happiness as well and really all I want for him is to enjoy life. As luck would have it, Dad was driving to show his GF where I lived. They were out and about and I guess close enough to drive by. He wasn't expecting me to be outside and getting in my car so the somewhat awkward meeting occurred. She's super nice and I think is the type of person my Dad needs. I just hope the next time I see her I'm more prepared.
Last night when Red Wings fan came back from Chicago, I spent nearly the entire night talking about all of the weekend's excitement. I also talked his ear off for about 40 minutes before he got here since I called him after lunch with my family. I'm sure he was ready to go back to work this morning just so I would be quiet for a change.

Look. I'm sure you know what you're doing here, but I'm still struggling with it. I mean...if they beat the Ducks and we can't get past the Kings, what then? You would, what, root for them for him? Can you live with yourself should that happen?
I know, I know, I'm in a pickle. I'm just hoping my Blues figure it out and win the next two games. Next season will be a bit easier on me because I won't feel nearly as bad rooting for the Wings when they're in the Eastern Conference. Well, until it comes down to the Stanley Cup finals.
Ironically enough, he's going to the Blues game tomorrow night with his old college roommate. Both are Michigan, both are avid Red Wings fans and both will be pulling for the Blues tomorrow night. Go figure!
He may be at the game, but he'll be staring at his phone the whole time, texting you and checking the Wings' score.
I've only received a text saying they are 3 rows off of the ice behind the penalty box, but I can pretty much guarantee since he is checking the Wings score every 3-5 minutes. :)
