First Dates

Nine years ago, Heb and I went on our first date.  That is pretty much 1/3 of my life. 

I first met Hebs way back in 2002.  He asked me out to an Aggie Basketball game early that next year.  Heb and I were trying to remember the team they played and I'm pretty sure it was the Gaucho's (who knows what school). 

What was significant about the date was that we talked the whole time.  It was just so easy.  It didn't hurt that Heb is so handsome too.  We talked and laughed and then went to have ice cream on Darwin Avenue.  Who knew that one evening would change my life so drastically. 

Back when we were dating, I put together a journal of our time together.  This is part of what I wrote about our first date: "I had a wonderful time with you.  It was one of my best first dates.  After that, I wanted you to like me.  You were so quality and genuine that I wanted to be part of your life.  I wanted to continue to laugh and to talk to you."

After that, I ran into him in the Sci Tech library or maybe stalked him there (I can't remember).  I'll never forget his yellow backpack.  It is just so Heber.  We never looked back after that.  We dated, we wrote while he was on the East coast and then while I was on the East coast.  We just clicked.

We celebrated last night by going to get ice cream, seemed appropriate.  We talked all about what it was like at the beginning about how we fell in love and knew we loved each other at exactly the same moment.  It's good to remember those moments, it only makes the present so much sweeter.
