"welcome to the fishbowl", kelly said to me when we started dating. the "fishbowl" is our church community, and since she's on staff & we have a good number of mutual friends who got to know me separately while she was in the states last fall, people were waiting and watching. when she came back to madrid, apparently, there was a pool to see how long it would take for us to get together. whoever guessed "one week" won.
going in to week three, i guess we're still in the fishbowl as everyone's seeing the progression of our relationship, but it doesn't feel as much like we're on display. we're more of a fixture now.

i hope amy and i get prizes.
Be glad you're in Madrid and not back in N. Augusta - where we "parents" really know how to watch the little "fishies"
i like being a fixture. like "paul and kelly" (or maybe "kelly and paul?") is just an assumption now rather than a new thing. crazy, but i like it. kind of feels like we're all in a fishbowl together rather than everyone looking at us. maybe we're just not as important as we thought :).

Hey Mom (Reneee), it's kind of funny how all the "young singles" from NA left the country, isn't?
great comment, michelle! so true.
