09/06/08 we met for the first time... It was a great night. I was with a good friend of mine, Natalie, and all I wanted to do that night is watch the UFC fights. It was going to be great! We went to her friends house who was hosting the fight and that is where I met the love of my life, Dustin. I learned a few things that he loves about women: Soft Long Hair, Great Smell, Cute & Clean Feet, and Shoes. Apparently I passed the test, yay!! Through out the night he would come find me and put his arm around me and we would have short little conversations. One point in the night he put his arm around me and said, "YOU are going to be my girlfriend. Just Watch." I laughed it off and probably called him a dork or a nerd or something like that. He walked around and went to all of his friends and was asking them if we looked cute together and if we should be together. They all said yes which just made him believe even more that I should be his. It was a great night, but needless to say we didn't exchange phone numbers.
A few days later, I received a text message from a completely random phone number. It was him. He had asked about 10 people the next day if anyone of them knew who I was. No one did because I went as a friend of a friend. Finally, he asked his friend to get a hold of my friend who in returned gave my number out (after my approval, of course!). Anyways, we started talking and we never stopped. Everyday from dawn til dusk we would be on the phone with each other. We were never not talking it was crazy. We lived about 45 min away from each other so that is all we could do; the drive was just too long. Finally, we set up our first date.
09/19/08 our first official date... We wanted to get dinner after work. We went out to get sushi at a local place on his side of town and then drove out to Lake Pleasant. We laid on the hood of the car starring at the stars in the sky and the reflection of the moon on the water. It was so beautiful. So peaceful. Butterflies filled our tummy's. Both of us were nervous, but never admitted it. We kept the conversation flowing the entire time with not one awkward moment. Laughing at each other jokes and funny stories. It was almost as if we were filming a movie. We even had the first kiss before the night ended. It was a lovely night. The best one I have ever had.
09/21/08 boyfriend and girlfriend... I was over at his place and it was maybe early afternoon. We were just hanging out having a good time. He was playing the guitar and singing. We were talking. We were laughing. We were head over heels for each other. I got up and went into the bathroom. I may have washed my hands, brushed my teeth, fixed my hair, or fixed my make-up... one of those things we girls do. He came in behind me and turned me around and sat me on the counter. He told me all the things he liked about me one by one with a little kiss between each one. At the end of the list he asked me if I would be his grilfriend and I said yes.
It is now almost a year later and we have nothing but unconditional love for one another in which we will never let fade away into the background.
