A year ago, a person named Matt came home from working in South America and contacted me to go to a movie and possible dinner. Who would have ever known how THAT would turn out.
It was an unofficial "date". We had known each other for almost a year and a half, talking online and on the phone but never in person. So, on Friday September 28, we were able to meet in person.
It has since been a year and things couldn't be better. I am happily still dating him, in love, and about to move in with him. I had no clue what would happen. I've been taking on a ride and back again and wouldn't change it. In the past year, i've learned what love is, how to be my own person in a relationship, and how to truely handle a long term relationship (while that person was in Asia for 4 months, and Australia for 1 month or so).
Today (technically yesterday now) was our 1 year anniversary. We had talked for weeks about what to do, but in the end, we end up doing what we love most- shopping and going to Target. I had originally thought about going to a nice expensive restaurant for dinner, but after looking at what they had, and what we were both looking for, that would not work. Right before Matt and I walked into Brio, we decided to change it to Bettys- the place that we went on our first date. We waited about 30 minutes and when they sat us, it was the same table where we had our first date :-) It was nice to sit there and think that 1 year ago what we were talking about and thinking about....who would have ever guessed how that year would be. On our original date, we had talked about going to a movie, but never did. Instead, we went on a 4 hour walk on campus. Tonight, we actually did see the movie. We saw Igor (anyone who knows us knows that we don't see anything adult...hehe). What made it more special- we had the movie theatre to ourselves, so we DID get to spend it alone.
I'm so happy to have a person like him- great family, wonderful person, and overall just one of the best people i've met. Here's to another wonderful year with Matt.
