During these moments of adoration, the same thought is always running through my mind… How did I get this lucky? Never did I imagine that WE would be here, together, like this. Never.
Because it was so hard for me to imagine this point in my life, I am always asking BF about our first date. Specifically, I like to hear his point of view on the night.
I remember it vividly. I replay those first moments over and over again in my head. We had the most amazing dinner and the most amazing conversation. The food was incredible. But I was too nervous to eat any of it {so I took a to-go box & I downed it in the car on my way home from our date! – ha!}. We laughed and laughed and laughed.
He drove me back to my car. We talked outside for about an hour. I wanted him to kiss me. He didn’t {he would tell me on our second date that he wanted to kiss me, but didn’t want to break his “I don’t kiss on first dates rule”}.
I still remember the butterflies I had for days and days after that.
I never imagined that it would have lasted this long. The butterflies are still here. & they are here to stay. But I love thinking back to when it all started.
Inspired by the prompt “If you had to relive a day in your life what day would it be?” from Mama Kat’s Writers Workshop.
I love a good wine slushy, NPR, yoga, running and Starbucks.

I wrote about meeting my boyfriend too
I never imagined after all of the hurt and bad relationships I had in the past that I could grow to love someone so much!
What an awesome story!
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I love this story. It is so sweet : ) Love that you remember the butterflies. That is beautiful.
=) I still get butterflies too. And I've known my guy for nearly six years now. (We haven't been together that long, but my gut knew long before my head did. That & we had some “life circumstances” that needed resolution. But that's another story for another day.)
That's the most adorable thing ever!!
AW!!!!
I love looking at Big Man and thinking about the last 3 years together…I'm like you and love getting his point of view of particular moments during our relationship.
That's sweet
Having butterflies is the best feeling!
There must have really been a connection/attraction between you two up front–nerves around a person have never come between me and my dinner! Haha.
Awwww so sweet!
wow – I could have written that post about my first date with Matt. I'm so glad you have such a wonderful BF.
You deserve nothing but the best! Thank you for sharing!

Oh my this is too cute. I think about that as well, how did I get so lucky?!
This is so nice. I love it.
Such a sweet story! You leave me wanting to hear the rest!
Your rat tweets are giving me the heebie jeebies. SO sorry for the craziness!
