The Very First Day

I have had a lot of firsts in my life...of course. Who hasn't?

I knew I loved you from the first day we talked, is that crazy? Some might say so, but my heart knew you were so perfect. We first spoke after a long wait because I was sick, and to this did not matter, you cared that I was feeling better and didn't want to cause me more pain. Our first conversation allowed us to open up to one another and I felt like it was all a dream. Actually that whole first week seemed so impossible. I remember waking up in the mornings and checking my phone and re-reading text messages to make sure everything was real. I remember surprising you for your birthday, getting home a day earlier than planned because of a snow day at school. I thought you had stood me up, because you never text me back until later that night..you seemed very glad that I was home early and the thought of being stood up very quickly went out the window...you were simply asleep. When we met in the parking lot, I had butterflies in my stomach, my heart was racing, and all I could do was smile. I remember the way you looked at me that night. The same way you look at me today. It was late, so we just drove around. Which was nice. I remember having my hand resting on the console of your truck as we drove into town and you reaching over with that amazing smile on your face and grabbing my hand. The rest of the night included Wall-E, a visit to my brother, and losing track of time only to realize it was 6 AM and I had to get home. You are perfect and I'm glad you took a chance on me. I have had some of the most amazing and memorable times of my life in the past year and a half...and I look forward to many more in the future.

Just thinking...and wanting to document things that I never ever want to forget!
