The Day I Met You.

Our One year Anniversary is this weekend on the 24th. I thought I would post this now since I wont be around the whole weekend ... Enjoy!

I cannot believe we have been together for a year already. It so shocking! I remember the day I first met you....

It was back in August 2011, I had jut gotten back from Portugal 2 days prior. Our friend Daniel at the time had picked me up to hang out at Tim Horton's. He only told me in the car that there would be some of his friends there too. When I came in there was 3 of his friends there, including you. I sat across from you, I couldn't help but be drawn to you instantly. You were so attractive! You had the fullest lips, the longest lashes, face structure, and your chiseled jaw! Ugh! That nose! So cute!

I'm pretty sure you caught me examining you a few times, I couldn't help it. You were wearing a Portugal soccer jersey, I started conversation about me being in your country and how much I loved it there. You were interested in my job, we talked about it, you were impressed. We all then played cards, jackass I believe was the game. I couldn't remember the rules of the game, you explained and helped me through the whole game. You were charming, we hit it off as friends right away.

I remember being driven home that night by Daniel, him saying to me "well, my friends really liked you." I met you, Nelson, and Andre that day. I knew Nel liked me, he hugged me when I was leaving. I had sat beside him the whole time we were there. I had fun with all of you guys. I didn't think anything of it though since I was in a relationship at the time.

I would see you more frequently every time I would hang out with Daniel. Tim Horton's, sushi, movies, not to mention you would make trips to my house to talk to me when I was having my famous anxiety attacks at like 12-1 am in the morning.

Until the day before my birthday. December 14th, it was Nelson's birthday party and I was invited. You of course were there, so was Daniel and his cousin Chris who we would all drive up into Newmarket to see. We all drank, Dan was my ride there and back but he drank too. You offered to drive me home, I accepted. We sat in your car for 3 hours that night just talking. You were invited to my birthday party the next day, sadly I had to cancel it because I was sick as a dog.

Christmas was just around the corner, I decided to buy you small gift as a token of my appreciation, an iTunes gift card and a small bottle of champaign. You in return wanted to get me something but didn't know what. You phoned me asking me what I wanted, I would just respond with "nothing...make me something."

December 23rd, I had my G2 driving test. I passed of course. I think you were the second person I called to tell! My "bf" at the time was becoming less and less involved in my life. I was invited out by one of my male friends to go to a bar somewhere down town with a few of his friends, a little celebration for getting my G2 since I had no plans.

I got piss drunk. So drunk that I didn't even know where I was. At some point during the night some of his female friends joined in so I felt a little better. At one point my friend started hitting on me, it made me uncomfortable, I was scared. I wanted to leave, but he was my way back. I started texting people randomly saying only "Help!" in the message. My "bf" at the time messaged me back saying he's in bed, I texted Daniel, he asked if I was okay, I texted one of my other guy friends who didn't respond till morning, and I texted you. You called me instantly, no hesitations. You asked me where I was, that's all you said. I asked someone and you heard them tell me. You then responded with " I'll be there in 15 minutes."

I didn't tell you why I texted help, nor did you want me to explain. In 15 minutes you were there, like you said you would be. I was already outside waiting for you, my friend still there beside me trying to hit on me. You pulled up and I bolted to your car. I got in and you looked at me, then shook your head. I smiled and said thank you.

You drove me home and we sat in your car in front of my house. You then decided to give me your gift you had made me and a box of chocolate. At the time my favourite song was Marooned by Pink Floyd, so your gift was related to it. It had one of your Lego female characters on a sand bank that you made from you bearded lizards sand, water that you painted and a palm tree. " Marooned but never alone" was written on the front of it. I loved it. It was perfect. I was drunk and exhausted. I put my head down on your arm, then fell asleep. You let me sleep for a few hours and woke me up at 6:00 am so I could go inside.

That day, I couldn't stop thinking about it. It changed the way I felt about you. I started to realize I had feelings for you. A few days later you had admitted to me that you had feelings for me too. From here everything listed from A Year Ago had happened. This was a long process that lasted almost all of January.

After all that craziness and the emotional roller coaster ride, we finally made it official on February 24th 2012 at 2 am in the morning.

Matt, I love you so much and I couldn't be happier being with you.

Happy Anniversary my love.
