I was just wondering what everyone wants in a significant other? And, I'm going to ramble on and on about mine because he's AMAZING!! haha

I met my boyfriend back in September when I first started working for Comcast. We were in training together. I always noticed him. He would make jokes in class and I could just tell that he was looking and me and really looking for my reaction more than anyone else's. He used to draw all the time. He would draw pictures of me and at the time I almost thought it was creepy to be honest.. but I've been through a lot so I tended (am better now though) to think the worst of everything/everyone.

Anyway, I remember the first time I talked to him.. we were in the lunch room and he was talking about how a certain percentage of people each year gets killed by having a vending machine fall on them. I thought 'here's my chance' so I responded and then that's when he told me that he'd be willing to drive me home as well as this other lady he drove each day. (He heard I lived a little ways away from work) What was really cute was the fact that my house was like 15 minutes in the opposite direction of where he was going.. . Gosh I love him!!! Just writing this makes me want to run up to him and give him a huge kiss !!!

So ya, we started talking more in class (we were in training together for 5 weeks before going live on the phones). We started going to lunch every day together . I remember the day before our first 'date'.. if you wanna call it that (although I had a bf at the time.. I was thinking him and I would just be friends.. but ya.. looks bad, I know) he pretty much just told me 'I'm taking you to Taco Bell tomorrow'. I remember thinking, 'Yes, sir!!' hahaha.

Of course, soooo many people at work were wanting us to be together and everything. People were telling me to dumb my current bf bc they all thought he was a loser and to get with this new guy.

Then, he started coming over all the time and staying really late. (Even though he had a TWO HOUR drive home.. he just really loved spending time with me) I felt, when I was with him that he could be the person to bring me out of my shell.. (I've always dealt with bad anxiety.. blah blah.. you guys know the story by now )

So anyway, at some point, I did break up with my boyfriend.. and the 3 of us even went to a movie together. Awkward, yes, but it was great for us to all feel like friends that day.. they hated it I bet, but did it for me.

So, he started coming over to my house all the time and spending the night more days of the week than not. Everything just went really quickly with us. Within the first month of knowing him, we were dating.. I'll never forget all the first.. how SCARY it was to hold his hand (I grabbed for it first!!!!) or that first kiss... aww. I wanna cry right now thinking about how happy I am with him

It's funny how all of the terrible things I've had to deal with in my life.. all lead me to him.. to this wonderful person. It's such a great feeling. Like a movie.. and I know I said this about my ex at the time, but I knew deep down that I never meant it. I mean it now, and it's just such a great feeling!!!

I moved in to an appt with him in January. It was tough at first, and then we got a dog.. which really added to the stress of my anx.. etc. But hey.. we got through it and I am sooo happy that I met him. So happy to be where I am in my life today. This is just amazing and I wish this to everyone out there!!

I hope you all either are this happy now or will be very, very soon. Life is so wonderful when you don't sweat the small stuff.. when you realize that it's not worth worrying about stuff you have no control over. Life is what you make it.. and I've made mine sooo sooo happy!! (Even though there are some tough things going on right now, but I'll get through)
