Our date was a week before Halloween and we had decided to go see Paranormal Activity, before you diss his movie picks it was actually mine and I was stoked. Before heading to the movie we decided to swing by a haunted house. I was feeling very much in the Halloween spririt last year if you can't tell and was going to be in Vegas for the actual day, apparently I wanted to really ham it up before hand. Back to the date... we were going through a tunnel to the haunted house and there was a long line so we decided not to wait for fear of missing the movie (looking back maybe not the best first date event but it was fun). As we were walking back up the tunnel he grabed my hand. MAGIC!
Drew and I had talked for a little while before we went out, we actually met on match.com. I have been extremely embarrassed about this fact so much so that in a past quasi relationship I disguised how I actually met the fellow. Yes disguised is a incorrect term for lied, I lied ok and I am not proud of it. Anyway Drew was very persisitant and compared to my last matches was somewhat local. I remember being completly annoyed when he scheduled our date for the following weekend one Friday night thinking that a perfectly good Saturday was hours away. It was well worth the wait because as I mentioned I got the most beautiful flowers.
I immediately felt completely comfortable with Drew. Felt like I could tell him anything and he would understand.
The weekend after our date I was headed to Vegas for a girls weekend with the women in my family. I honestly did not think I would really miss Drew, afterall we had only had 2 dates by that point, but I did. I missed him terribly. I don't remember how he asked but he hinted around at asking if we were a couple. I said oh so cool and casually well we have only been on 2 dates we should give it time before we decide. We contiued to text while I was in Vegas and by the morning of my second day I was dead set on being exclusive with him. He was too darn cute not too. :)
Drew has gone through some of the hardest months of my life with me. He has held my hand as I sobbed over my Grandy's grave, held me as I learned about my mom's diagnosis. Rejoiced with me when I got a raise at work. He gave up his Thanksgiving with his family to come 3 weeks into our relationship to meet my family but especially my Grandy. He gave me my first diamond's in the form of a necklace and bracelet (well first diamonds from a non-relative).
We celebrated our 6 month anniversary on Wednesday. I think I have turned him into a homebody like me so we celebrated our anniversary with an amazing dinner.... Steak, Jalepeno bites, and mashed potatoes. He definitely knows my favorites. After dinner we took a walk with our 2 favorites...
Big ole Coopaloop and Drew's Buster boy. It was the perfect way to spend an evening.
I have been so incredibly blessed by my relationship with Drew. I have grown more through the past 6 months than I had ever imagined and he is a major part of that. So amazed that it has been 6 months, feels like just yesterday and yet it feels like I have known him forever. I am so excited to see what the future holds for us.
*** sad that we didn't get any pics together but i wasn't feeling it that night
