I am starting my blog rather early this Sunday. I usually start around ten-thirty or eleven and finish with plenty of time to get it turned it, but today I have no clue what I am going to right about. I could write about my week and how busy it was, but that is boring and I have written about it before. What I can write about though is that Thursday was Sarah’s, my girlfriend, and my one year anniversary.
Sadly, on Thursday, we could not celebrate our anniversary because we were so busy, so we planned our date for Friday. I took her favorite restaurant, Olive Garden, and then we went to a movie. I know it does not sound special, but it was nice to be away from campus and alone. We both had a delicious dinner at Olive Garden, leaving stuffed and completely satisfied. We then went to get tickets for Couples Retreat. The movie was hilarious and is defiantly something everyone should go see. If you have not heard about this movie I will give you a short summer. Four couples go to this resort that is a couples strengthening island. They have to attend different activities to help out their relationships. It is a great movie with every scene making you laugh. After the movie we rode around thinking about how we got together and what we had gone through together in the past year.
We met in ninth grade when I moved to Smithfield. She was in my band class. She seemed nice, and apparently I was a jerk to her, but I have no recollection of that happening. We never really talked, until our senior year, when we met again at my friend’s party. We stayed up watching Hitched, making jokes, laughing together at the movie. We really enjoyed that night together. I walked her out to her car and kissed her before she left and said we should try to go out sometime, but like an idiot I forgot to get her numbered. Luckily, I was good friends with one of her best friends so she got my number from her. I got a text from her the next night and we started talking and within a few days we went out on are first date. I knew on our first date that we would work; we clicked from the beginning and never had any problems.
I think what helped our relationship ski rocket was that my parents accepted her and liked her and her parents did the same for me. He dad gives me a hard time just because I am dating his daughter, but I know that he likes me. My parents were great to Sarah. Her and my mom get along great and she is starting to warm up to my dad. We have gone on trips with each other’s families, and have met other people in our extended families.
Sarah came to North Carolina with us, where my grandparents leave. She spent a week with us there, getting to know my grandparents, try seafood, and going to the beach. We did actually go swimming because it was in December, but one day we went to different beaches around the area. We walked together along the beaches talking about everything. When we went back to Smithfield, we talked about love, both wanting to say it, but we were too afraid too. It waited another month before we told each other that we loved one another.
I never thought that I would find the woman I would love and spend the rest of my life with so early, but it makes me so happy that I have found my love. I am excited to spend the rest of my life with her. I love her and I am glad to have spent the last year with her and I know that it is just the beginning of our life together.
