I met him at the beginning of February 2005. I was a sophomore in college not necessarily looking for love. I wasn't opposed to it but I wasn't actively searching either. Then, one day, my friend asked me to go to Shaw Hall where some of her friends lived. In college I would do anything, we were always looking for a good time, so without hesitation, I went.
That's where I met him for the first time. Did sparks instantly fly? No. When I walked into the room he was wearing a headset and playing Halo - along with his friends. Did I think that this guy was going to end up being the love of my life? Far from it. I thought I was just going to another party and meeting some fun new people.
It wasn't until the following few days that I thought anything of him. We would have long conversations on AOL (into the wee hours of night) and literally ask each other hundreds of questions. For Valentine's Day he brought over three roses. One for myself, one for
We went to dinner and a movie (Sideways). After that we shopped around Meijer's (I should have known then that that was one of his favorite places to shop). He was a perfect gentleman. Open all the doors for me and paid for both the dinner and the movie.
We didn't have the relationship conversation until a week after that and on February 25th, 2005 we made it official.
I've never had a boyfriend before him. I didn't know what to expect out of the whole thing. I didn't know what he wanted from me but I soon found out that he is perfect for me. The only thing he ever expects from me is to be me. Of course there are things about the other person that annoy or frustrate but I honestly believe that we are perfect for each other.
Five years have gone by and I couldn't even imagine my life without him now. He's my constant, my one and only, the one I come to everything with.
I guess I would have to say that I'm one lucky girl (but it goes without saying that he's one lucky guy too J).
