I ask myself this question almost everyday... How did I get to this point. We're getting ready to spend the rest of our lives together...How crazy is this!!!
I guess you can roll back about 7 Years. I was 21 and had just moved home to NJ from living in Florida for 4 years. I came back home to my dad, And to do...I didn't really know what. After free loading for too much time I worked on getting a job. Which took me to Sharper Image (yes the gadget store no longer in biznass) I remember the day I strolled in looking for an application. Joe actually was the one who handed it over. I filled it out and went on my way. A 21 year old, pink haired girl trying to make some cash.
I remember going to my sisters and talking to her about my options.. "Bath and Body had yummy smelling free things to offer, But there was this REALLY cute guy at the one place..I want to work there"
Little did I know I got the job. My new assistant "hot" boss became quick friends with me. And I fell head over heels. I had one obstacle. His Girlfriend. :P
Our friendship grew and grew as so did my feelings and I eventually realized I had to tell him how I felt. It was hard to do, because of the whole - "this can ruin everything" problem.
REALLY long story short. I ended up winning his heart and we decided to stay together. - Just as this happened My dad decided to sell our house we grew up in. I was set with the choices to move down to my moms, Move back to Florida with my dad, or stay with my sister till i could go out on my own. This is when Joe came through and really did the biggest thing he could do. Set out to buy a house. So I didn't have to go anywhere.
We've been together for I guess you can say 5 years now - in our house for 4. After a LOOOONG time together, and me asking repeatedly.. We finally ended up getting engaged. But that...
Is another story. :)
Did anyone else have a "love at first sight" happenstance? (and isn't it Great?!) :)
