12/08/04-12/08/07 <Year 3> ... . <3

Today is our (Jon and mine) three-year-anniversary.  Has been for 13 minutes.  Lol.

We don't really buy eachother things for our anniversary as of now, because we feel that considering we aren't married yet, we don't need to spend money (that we really don't always have) on eachother.  It's unnecessary at the moment, when Christmas is just around the corner and I'm getting a ring!!! ;-D  Not THAT kind of a ring, just sort of a promise type of ring. 

I remember the day I met the love of my life... It was 9th grade (I'm a freshman in college now) at lunch.  My then friend, my friend Ray, and myself were sitting at our lunch table, eating and talking, when this tall, gangly thing of a boy walked up to us and sat down next to Ray.  His hair was bleached nearly white, and he wore a blue shirt and tight-fitting jeans.  The blonde hair made me laugh my ass off, but he had the prettiest blue eyes I had ever seen.

I ended up thinking he was mean by the end of that lunch period.  LMAO.

A few weeks later, after getting to know him, I realized that he was actually really nice and funny.  I asked him why he wore tight pants.  Haha. 

A little while after that, he and I were leaving lunch, and he had bitten my finger during that period.  (Don't ask, he's a goofy one)  When we were walking down the hall, he grabbed my head and my neck and bit me vampire-style.  Haha, that's what made me fall head over heels for him, oddly enough.

After that, we became really good friends.  Over that summer, I had acquired a boyfriend (BIG MISTAKE) and he found out when we talked on a yahoo! messenger conversation.  I remember telling him I was dating someone, and feeling horrible about it.  I remember him saying something like, "Oh... I didn't know that." and not saying much else. 

That boy I was dating had cheated on me nearly every day of the two months we had been together, and then he broke up with me for going to a movie with my best friend, Spencer.

When the next school year started, Jon and I got even closer as friends.  The crush I had been supressing for a whole summer came back full force, and I didn't know what to do with it.  I was very good at caving to peer pressure, and because of that (my friends didn't find him attractive), I never told him.  Not long after that, a girl I was friends with asked him out.  He said yes, and they dated for a few weeks.  I remember when she told me in French class, and I put my head down and cried for the remainder of the period.  It was past the point of crush, now.  I was falling nearly in love with this kid and my friend went a took him from me.  (I also at that time had no idea that he had liked me since that yahoo! conversation and had failed to ask me out later because he wasn't sure if I was dating anyone.  I still feel like hell to this day for breaking his heart like that.)

I fought back.  I flirted as much as I could (wasn't very good at it NOR was i very experienced in the area) and he seemed to notice.  I was hell-bent on stealing him from her.  Not long after that, he broke up with her for pretty much finding out she was a ho... (Not lying).

Two days later, my friend asked him out for me, because I'm a chicken shit.

He said yes before she could finish asking him the question.  I hugged him and squealed how happy I was.  It's been the same ever since.  :-)

Sometimes I really underestimate myself.  Even I have no idea how much I love him, it's been continuously growing over the past three years.  I can't believe I made it this far, lol... I seriously thought I had a #2 curse... (one relationship lasted two days, two others lasted 2 months)  I'm so thankful for how much of my pms and shit he has put up with, and so glad that he and I want eachother for the rest of our lives.  I work with this one woman who seems to think that I will find another guy in college, and that my high school boyfriend will never be my husband.  She has no idea.  I can't look at another guy the way I look at Jonathon... I could never love anyone else the way I love him.  He's the best thing that has ever happened in my life, and I'm proud of that.  Holy shit, I think I'm gonna cry!!!

Haha, I'll post wedding pictures in about 5-6 years, I promise.
